The Belgian coast remains one of the country’s most desirable real estate markets, offering a unique blend of lifestyle, investment potential, and natural beauty. It continues to draw the attention of buyers looking for a lifestyle upgrade, a second residence, or a long-term investment. In 2024, the market showed signs of stabilization after the steep cooldown seen in 2023.

At Engel & Völkers Leuven, we know better than anyone that location plays a decisive role in determining the value of a property. A recent study by data platform Realo, published in the Trends Real Estate Guide, confirms this in a striking way: a comparable home costs on average 21.8% more in Leuven than in Antwerp.
The real estate market remains one of the most closely watched pillars when it comes to building, consolidating, or passing on wealth. And 2025 has kicked off with a clear message: activity is picking up again, driven by a series of favorable tax measures and renewed buyer confidence.
