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.
