Why sell in Merksplas?

Local market highlights

The median price for residential properties in Merksplas was €352,500 in Q4 2023, with a broad price range of €270,000 to €492,000 - indicating a varied supply of modest terraced houses to spacious detached family homes.
The low number of 20 transactions in Q4 2023 means that properties in Merksplas do not change hands frequently. Buyers must remain alert and be able to act quickly when a suitable property comes to market.
The location along the N12 gives Merksplas a direct connection to Turnhout (approx. 10 km) and towards the Netherlands, making the municipality attractive to commuters who work in the Kempen or just across the border.
The heritage landscape of Merksplas Kolonie - a unique historic estate of more than 1,000 hectares - provides a green buffer around the municipality and limits further densification, which protects the tranquillity and character of the residential environment in the long term.
Merksplas has primary schools and local shops, but for secondary education, hospitals, and large-scale retail, residents are dependent on Turnhout. This is a factor to take into account when choosing a property in the municipality.
Due to the limited supply and rural location, Merksplas is less susceptible to rapid price fluctuations than urban markets. This makes it a relatively stable environment for those investing in a family home over the long term.

Real estate market in Merksplas

The property market in Merksplas is relatively limited in volume, but that makes each transaction all the more significant. In the fourth quarter of 2023, 20 residential transactions were recorded, with a median price of €352,500. Prices range from €270,000 in the first quartile to €492,000 in the third quartile, demonstrating that both starter homes and quality family homes come to market. This is a market where patience pays off, but where buyers who act decisively have an advantage. For sellers, Merksplas offers a solid foundation. Its location along the N12, which connects Turnhout with Bergen op Zoom, ensures good connectivity with the wider region. Turnhout itself, the economic heart of the Kempen, is just under ten kilometres away and offers all the urban amenities that Merksplas itself does not have. This makes the municipality attractive to young families and dual-income households who consciously choose a rural living environment with urban accessibility. Anyone buying or selling in Merksplas would do well to work with an estate agent who has thorough knowledge of the local market. The low transaction volume means that comparable reference points are scarce and that an accurate valuation requires greater expertise than in a busy urban market. An experienced local estate agent makes all the difference here.
