Average in Flanders
The property market in Herselt showed a notable movement in the fourth quarter of 2025. The median price for a residential property stood at €260,000, representing a decline of 13.3% compared to the previous year, when the median was still €300,000. With 38 registered residential transactions recorded during this period, the market is relatively limited in size, meaning that individual transactions can influence the figures more significantly than in larger cities. The price range between the first and third quartile runs from €190,000 to €410,000, indicating that both starter homes and larger family homes and rural properties come onto the market. For buyers, the current market situation presents an interesting opportunity. The price decline provides greater room for negotiation than has been the case in recent years, whilst the supply in Herselt traditionally consists of semi-detached and detached properties, farmhouses and renovated country houses. Young families looking to make the step from renting to owning, as well as those who consciously choose more space and tranquillity, will generally find what they are looking for here. Sellers would do well to take the changed market conditions into account and position their property realistically. Correct pricing is all the more important in a market with limited transaction volume, as an overpriced property in Herselt may remain on the market longer than in an urban environment. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Kempen market can make all the difference in this regard.
