Average in Flanders
The property market in Lummen is showing remarkably strong growth. In the fourth quarter of 2025, the median price for a residential property stood at €365,000, an increase of 9% compared to the previous year when the median was still €335,000. The price range between the first and third quartile runs from €285,000 to €425,000, indicating that both starter homes and quality family homes are coming onto the market. With 47 registered transactions during that period, supply is limited, which partly explains the upward pressure on prices. Lummen has a green and rural character, with sub-municipalities such as Meldert, Linkhout, and Genenbos each having their own distinct atmosphere. Those looking for a semi-detached or detached property with a garden will find more space here than in the urban fringe of Hasselt. The presence of the Schulensbroek, one of the largest wetland nature reserves in Flanders, gives the municipality an additional advantage for those who place a high value on nature and tranquillity. For sellers, the current market dynamics are favourable: the combination of limited supply and growing demand creates a strong negotiating position. Buyers would do well to act quickly and prepare thoroughly, as well-located properties in Lummen typically find a buyer without delay. A local estate agent with knowledge of the sub-municipalities and the specific price differences within the municipality is a genuine asset in this regard.
