Selling in summer: a unique opportunity?

1. Fewer listings, more visibility

During the summer months, the number of new listings typically slows down. This reduced competition allows your property to shine and attract the full attention of serious buyers. Instead of being one among many, your home benefits from increased exposure, higher visibility, and a greater chance to generate quality visits from motivated clients.

2. Maximise your property’s visibility

By listing your property now, you benefit twice: you capture the interest of active summer buyers, often families or individuals eager to move before autumn while also positioning your home ahead of the strong September market comeback. This dual advantage ensures your property doesn’t get lost in the rush of new listings when the market peaks.

3. Benefit from financed buyers

The Belgian mortgage market is showing clear signs of recovery. In the second quarter of 2025, nearly 55,000 new mortgage loans were granted: 15.7% more than in the same period last year—for a total of around €10 billion. This surge confirms that banks are granting more credit, and that buyers are confident enough to take the step towards ownership. With stabilized interest rates and supportive fiscal incentives in regions like Flanders and Wallonia, many candidates are ready to make their purchase happen. This creates a highly favorable environment for sellers, as the pool of financed, qualified buyers is larger than it has been in years.

4. Increase your chances of selling

The current market dynamics are particularly advantageous: demand is already on the rise, while supply remains limited. Listing your property now means showcasing it in a context where buyers are motivated but choices are still scarce. This imbalance works in your favor, increasing the likelihood of a quick and successful sale before the mid-September surge, when competition intensifies.

The market is already showing strong signs of activity, and sellers who act now are in the best position to benefit. With motivated, financed buyers and reduced competition, listing your property before the September rush gives you a strategic edge. Take advantage of this window of opportunity and let your home shine.
