    Belgium is known for many things: brilliant beer, friendly locals, beautiful countryside and questionable road surfaces. But one thing it is not known for, is its affordability.

    The price of a typical Belgian house has risen by more than 60% over the past 14 years, outpacing wages, inflation and even the expectations of many homeowners. Figures published last week by Belgian statistical agency Statbel show the median price of a terraced or semi-detached house in Belgium reached €260,000 in 2024, up from €160,000 in 2010. Detached homes, some of Belgium’s most expensive properties, now average €370,000, while even a modest apartment will cost around €243,000.
