The property market in Esneux has shown remarkable dynamism in recent years. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the median price for a residential property stood at €275,000, an increase of no less than 25.2% compared to the previous year, when the median was €219,700. This price evolution reflects growing demand from Liège and the surrounding area, with buyers seeking more spacious homes in a green setting at still relatively affordable prices. With 45 registered transactions in the same period, the market is active but not overheated, offering a healthy balance for both buyers and sellers. The housing stock in Esneux consists primarily of detached houses and villas, often with a garden or views of the hills and the river. The sub-municipalities such as Tilff, Fontin, and Hony each have their own character, from the lively Tilff with its railway station to the more rural hamlets deeper in the valley. That railway station in Tilff is, incidentally, an asset not to be underestimated: it provides a direct connection to Liège-Guillemins, making the municipality equally appealing to commuters. For sellers, the current market presents an excellent opportunity to maximise the value of their property, given the strong price growth over the past year. Buyers, for their part, would do well to act swiftly when an interesting property comes to market, as well-located homes in Esneux tend to find a new owner without delay. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Ourthe valley can make all the difference.
