In the fourth quarter of 2025, the median price for a house stood at €327,500, an increase of 12.9% compared to the previous year when the median price was still €290,000.

Apartments are generally more accessible, with a median price of €273,000. This variation offers opportunities for both first-time buyers and move-up buyers, as well as investors seeking a stable location outside the major cities. Sellers are currently benefiting from a market that works in their favour. The combination of limited supply, rising prices and consistent demand from the Antwerp commuter belt means that accurate pricing and a strong presentation of the property are decisive factors. A local estate agent with knowledge of the Kempen sub-markets can make all the difference here.
