With a price range of €231,000 to €390,000 for the first and third quartile respectively, a broad range of options is available for different budgets, from starter homes to more spacious family homes. For buyers, Lede is attractive because it offers an alternative to the more expensive property market in Ghent or Aalst, without compromising on accessibility. The N9 connects the municipality conveniently with Aalst and Ghent, and both cities are also easily accessible by public transport. Families appreciate the combination of open space, local primary schools and a close-knit community atmosphere. For sellers, the current market presents a favourable moment. The strong price increase and the limited transaction volumes - just 50 house transactions in the measured period - point to a market where supply and demand are not always in balance. Those who put their property in Lede up for sale can count on serious buyers who have consciously chosen this municipality.
