Yes. The asking price is a starting point, and you are free to make an offer below it. Whether it succeeds depends on the property, demand and how the price sits against the market. Your Easyhome adviser can tell you how realistic a given offer is before you submit it.
Negotiation is normal in Belgium, and an offer under the asking price is neither rude nor unusual. The asking price reflects the seller’s expectation; your written offer reflects yours, and the gap between them is where negotiation happens. Once the seller accepts an offer, though, that acceptance is binding, so the number you put forward should be one you are ready to honour.
Whether a lower offer lands depends heavily on the market, and the current market is firm. The Wallonia median house rose to 240,000 euros in 2025, up 15.4% on 2024, with apartments up 7.2%; sales volumes in provinces like Liège and Namur climbed around 16% to 17%.

In a rising, active market, well-priced properties leave less room, while a home that has been listed a while or is priced ambitiously offers more.
The counter-intuitive lesson: the strongest negotiating tool is often not a lower number but a cleaner offer. A buyer with financing arranged and few conditions can be more attractive to a seller than a slightly higher offer that hangs on an uncertain loan. This is where an adviser’s read of the seller’s priorities helps.
Easyhome values properties using comparable sales and local data, so your adviser can tell you where an offer sits against reality before you commit it to writing.
