The property market in Schelle is relatively limited in volume, but that makes it all the more important to understand well. In the fourth quarter of 2025, 20 residential transactions were recorded, with a median sale price of €367,500. Prices range between €275,000 and €480,000 for the middle half of the market, indicating that both starter homes and quality family homes are available. Compared to the Antwerp city market, Schelle still offers a degree of affordability, although pressure on the market has noticeably increased in recent years. For sellers, the low transaction volume is a double-edged sword: on the one hand, there is less competition from other vendors; on the other hand, there are also fewer reference points for an accurate valuation. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Rupel region and the specific Schelle housing market is therefore far from a luxury. Buyers, for their part, would do well to act quickly when a suitable property comes to market, as supply is limited and quality properties are generally sold without delay. Schelle benefits from its location along the Schelde and its proximity to the E19 and A12, making both Antwerp and Brussels easily accessible. The municipality has its own character, with local amenities, schools, and green open spaces, which only strengthens its position as an attractive residential community on the outskirts of Antwerp.
