Why sell in Herzele?

Local market highlights

The median price for houses rose by 12.8 per cent year-on-year to 330,000 euros in Q4 2025, one of the stronger price increases in the region - a signal that demand is structurally outpacing supply.
Herzele is situated along the N42, the connecting road between Aalst and Geraardsbergen, and is accessible from Ghent in approximately 20 minutes via the E40 - an advantage that makes the municipality popular with commuters.
The supply consists predominantly of detached and semi-detached properties on larger plots, which distinguishes Herzele from more densely built municipalities in the Flemish Diamond and attracts families for whom a garden is a priority.
With only 57 house transactions recorded during the measurement period, the market is tight: buyers would do well to have a mortgage pre-approval in place and to act quickly when a suitable property comes to market.
The municipality comprises several sub-municipalities such as Borsbeke, Ressegem, and Sint-Lievens-Esse, each with its own character and price level - local knowledge from an estate agent is not a luxury here but a necessity.
The price range between Q1 and Q3 runs from 240,000 to 416,200 euros, indicating that both starter homes and quality family homes come to market - a broad target audience can find suitable options here.

Real estate market in Herzele

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.
