Average in Flanders
The property market in Herzele shows a clear upward trend. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the median price for a house stood at 330,000 euros, compared to 292,500 euros a year earlier. This represents a year-on-year increase of 12.8 per cent, which is considerably higher than the East Flemish average. With 57 registered house transactions recorded during the measurement period, the market is relatively limited in size, meaning that well-located properties change hands quickly and sellers find themselves in a favourable position. Flats are trading at a median price of 267,500 euros, although supply in this segment is more limited than in the surrounding urban centres. For buyers, it is important to note that the price spread is considerable: the first quartile starts at around 240,000 euros, while the third quartile rises to well above 416,000 euros. This wide range reflects the varied supply, from starter homes in the sub-municipalities to renovated farmhouses and spacious semi-detached properties on larger plots. Those looking for a home with character and outdoor space will find options in Herzele that would be unaffordable in an urban context. For sellers, the current market dynamics provide an excellent starting point. The combination of limited supply, rising prices, and growing demand from the Ghent and Aalst commuter belt means that accurate pricing and a professional approach make the difference between a swift sale and a property that lingers on the market for too long.
