Why sell in Edegem?

Local market highlights

The median price for houses rose by 18% year-on-year in Q4 2025 to €525,000, making Edegem one of the fastest-appreciating municipalities in the southern periphery of Antwerp.
Supply is structurally tight: only 59 house transactions were registered in Q4 2025, meaning that well-located properties rarely remain on the market for long and offers above the asking price are not uncommon.
Edegem is situated close to the Antwerp Ring road (R1) and has a direct connection via the Boomsesteenweg to Antwerp city centre, making the municipality particularly popular with commuters who do not wish to live in the city itself.
Apartments with a median price of €261,000 offer a relatively accessible entry point in an otherwise expensive municipality, and are of interest to both first-time buyers and buy-to-let investors targeting tenants connected to ZNA Middelheim or the university site.
The presence of Fort 5 and the green buffers around the ring of forts means that properties in the immediate vicinity of these zones enjoy a structural premium compared to comparable properties elsewhere in the municipality.
Edegem has its own well-developed range of amenities, including schools, sports facilities, and the Wijnegem shopping centre within a short drive, with the result that the profile of the typical buyer is increasingly a young family making a definitive choice for the southern periphery rather than the city.

Real estate market in Edegem

The property market in Edegem has undergone a robust upward movement in recent years. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the median price for a house reached no less than €525,000, an increase of 18% compared to the previous year, when the median price still stood at €445,000. This is a remarkable jump that demonstrates how strong demand for housing in this municipality is. With 59 registered house transactions in the same period, supply remains limited, which further supports upward price pressure. Apartments are more accessibly priced, with a median price of €261,000, making them attractive to first-time buyers or investors. Edegem has a distinctly individual identity. Fort 5, part of the Antwerp ring of forts, forms a green lung at the heart of the municipality and attracts walkers and cyclists. The provincial estate Rivierenhof is located a short distance away, and the ZNA Middelheim hospital also borders the territory of Edegem, further establishing the municipality as a fully-fledged urban fringe municipality with its own amenities. For sellers, the current market is favourable: the combination of limited supply and sustained demand creates a strong negotiating position. Buyers would do well to act swiftly and prepare thoroughly, as well-located properties in Edegem are rarely on the market for long. A local estate agent with knowledge of the specific sub-districts - from the villa neighbourhoods around the Drie Eikenstraat to the more affordable zones near the municipal boundary with Kontich - can make all the difference.
