The figures for Q4 2025 confirm that Kapelle-op-den-Bos is a market in full motion. The median price for a residential property stands at €418,750, an increase of 16.3% compared to the previous year when the median was still €360,000. With 35 registered residential transactions, supply is relatively limited, which partly explains the upward pressure on prices. Those selling are currently doing so under favourable conditions; those buying must act swiftly and be well prepared. The character of the municipality is predominantly residential, with a mix of detached family homes, semi-detached properties, and a number of new-build developments that have supplemented supply in recent years. The village centre has its own identity, with local shops, schools, and sports facilities, whilst the surrounding agricultural land and green surroundings give the municipality its rural character. This makes Kapelle-op-den-Bos particularly popular with young families seeking space without entirely relinquishing urban amenities. For sellers, the current market offers an excellent opportunity to maximise the value of their property, though accurate pricing remains essential. The price range between the first and third quartile - from €347,250 to €527,500 - demonstrates that the market is diverse and that the condition, location, and type of property play a significant role in the final sale price. A local estate agent with knowledge of the specific sub-markets within the municipality can make all the difference.
