The property market in Hemiksem is relatively limited in volume, which is typical of a small municipality. In the fourth quarter of 2025, 22 house transactions were recorded, with a median sale price of €307,250. This represents a slight decline compared to the previous year, when the median stood at €313,500 - a difference of approximately 2 per cent. House prices range between €250,500 and €395,000 for the middle segment (Q1 to Q3), indicating that both starter homes and more high-end properties come to market. Flats sell for an average of €250,000. For buyers, Hemiksem offers a realistic alternative to the considerably more expensive Antwerp market. The municipality is easily accessible via the N177 and the nearby motorway connections towards Antwerp and Brussels. The Scheldt bridge and the tunnel also connect the municipality to the right bank. For families, the presence of local schools, sports facilities, and green spaces along the Scheldt embankment is an additional asset. Sellers would do well to take into account the limited transaction volume: a correctly priced property will attract the right buyer far more quickly than an overpriced asking price that lingers on the market for months. In that respect, a local estate agent with knowledge of the specific Hemiksem market is by no means a luxury.
