Local market highlights
Real estate market in Komen-Waasten
The property market of Komen-Waasten underwent a remarkable evolution in the most recent quarter (Q4 2025). The median house price currently stands at €195,000, with a price range between €150,000 and €288,000 for the mid-market segment. This represents a substantial increase compared to the previous year, when the median price was still €129,000 - a rise of more than 51%. Whilst this can partly be explained by a limited number of transactions (44 in the measured period), it also sends a clear signal that interest in this border region is growing. Sellers are currently in a favourable position, but buyers who act quickly can still find affordable properties compared to the Flemish neighbouring municipalities. The municipality consists of several sub-municipalities, including Comines itself, Warneton, Ploegsteert and Houthem, each with its own character. The proximity of the Lys valley provides green surroundings and a pleasant quality of life. The location near the E17 and the connections towards Kortrijk and Lille also makes Komen-Waasten attractive for cross-border workers employed in northern France who prefer to live on the Belgian side, partly due to lower property prices and the Belgian social security system. For anyone considering buying or selling in Komen-Waasten, engaging a local estate agent with knowledge of the border region is particularly valuable. The market is relatively small and moves quickly when well-priced properties come onto the market. Accurate valuation and targeted marketing are, in this municipality, the difference between a smooth sale and a property that remains on the market for months.
