The Walloon property market in 2026

No single days-on-market figure is published in the verified data, but the drivers are clear: Liège transaction volumes rose around 16% to 17% in 2025 (source: Fednot, 2026), so well-priced homes sold quickly, and the compromis-to-deed stage then adds about…

The clearest driver in the verified data is the Guillemins station redevelopment, which underpins why Liège is described as undervalued despite a 13.3% rise in the provincial median house to 238,000 euros in 2025 (source: Notaire.be and hexuvium, 2026). Areas…

Wallonia runs the “Primes Habitation” scheme: renovation grants scaled by the works done and household income, worth up to roughly 1,680 euros per act for many jobs (source: Certinergie and Lisa Energie, 2026). Larger grant tracks require a housing survey,…

Wallonia’s main first-home lever is not a cash grant but a tax cut: registration duties on an own and sole home dropped to 3% on 1 January 2025, down from 12.5% (source: Wallonia government and Lydian, 2025). On a 240,000…

Not by historical standards. Belgian fixed mortgage rates are stable at around 3% to 3.5% over 20 to 25 years in 2026 (source: Batibouw and brokers, 2026). That is a moderate level, not a spike, and it has kept buyer…

Only in part. Brabant wallon, Brussels’ commuter belt, is heavily shaped by the capital and carries a median house of 400,000 euros (source: Notaire.be, 2026). The rest of Wallonia, from Liège to Charleroi, runs on its own local demand and…

Demand in the latest data centres on own-and-sole family homes, whose median rose 15.4% in 2025 far outpacing apartments at 7.2% (source: Notaire.be, February 2026). Well energy-rated homes and affordable, high-yield city stock like Charleroi’s are the other clear magnets.…

Yes, materially. In Wallonia a poor Energy Performance Certificate (PEB) rating lowers both the sale price and the rentability of a home, while a good rating supports value. The PEB is mandatory for sale, rental and advertising (source: peb-connect and…

The Energy Performance Certificate (PEB) works as a price signal in Wallonia: a weak rating pulls offers down and slows the sale, a strong one supports value and speed. It is mandatory for sale, rental and advertising (source: peb-connect and…

Liège runs at around 1,800 euros per square metre in 2026 (source: hexuvium, 2026), placing it between affordable Charleroi (about 1,100 euros/m2) and pricier Namur (about 1,950 euros/m2). At provincial level the median house sat at 238,000 euros for 2025…

The facts base carries no direct inventory count, so this stays a careful read: the 2025 combination of sharply rising prices (houses +15.4%) and rising sales volumes points to demand outpacing available stock (source: Notaire.be and Fednot, 2026), the classic…

There is no separate published studio median for Namur, so the honest approach is to reason from the city rate of about 1,950 euros/m2 (source: hexuvium, 2026). A small studio of 25 to 35 square metres implies an order of…

No. The latest full-year data, 2025 read into 2026, shows the opposite: Walloon houses rose 15.4% and apartments 7.2% (source: Notaire.be, February 2026), on high transaction volumes. Prices are climbing, not falling, in a seller-favourable market. The premise of the…

In Liège province the median house sold for 238,000 euros across 2025, up a strong 13.3% on the previous year (source: Notaire.be, February 2026). Apartments in the province sat at 183,000 euros. Both figures are the latest full-year data, read…

Namur province posted a median house price of 260,000 euros for 2025, up 14.3% year on year, sitting above the Walloon median of 240,000 euros (source: Notaire.be, February 2026). Apartments reached 205,000 euros, a punchy 13.9% rise. These are the…

Charleroi is Wallonia’s most affordable major city, with prices around 1,100 euros per square metre and houses up roughly 10% on the previous year (source: hexuvium and notaire figures, 2026). Low entry prices combined with rising values make it the…

Dinant recorded a median house price of 215,000 euros (average around 223,474 euros), with apartments at a median of 175,000 euros, up a striking 18.8% (source: Fednot/pandwijzer, 2025). These full-year figures, read into 2026, sit below the Walloon house median…

Brabant wallon is Wallonia’s most expensive province, with a median house price of 400,000 euros for 2025, well above the regional median of 240,000 euros (source: Notaire.be, February 2026). Its proximity to Brussels is the main reason for that premium.…

Yes, clearly. The latest full-year data, 2025 read into 2026, shows Walloon houses up 15.4% and apartments up 7.2% (source: Notaire.be, February 2026), on transaction volumes up around 16% to 17% in Liège and Namur. Prices rose on rising activity,…

For most sellers, yes. The latest full-year data, 2025 read into 2026, shows houses up 15.4% and unusually high transaction volumes (source: Notaire.be and Fednot, 2026). Strong prices meeting strong demand make this a seller-favourable market, helped by the 3%…

The best guide for 2026 is the latest full-year figure, 2025, which put the median Walloon house at 240,000 euros, up 15.4% on 2024 (source: Notaire.be, published February 2026). That double-digit jump makes it a firmly seller-favourable market. When buyers…

Charleroi stands out for value-led momentum: the region’s most affordable major city at around 1,100 euros/m2, with houses up about 10% and the highest gross rental yield at roughly 6.1% (source: hexuvium and notaire, 2026). Liège adds redevelopment-driven upside around…

Walloon apartment prices rose 7.2% across 2025, the latest full-year data read into 2026 (source: Notaire.be, February 2026). Flats climbed more slowly than houses, whose median reached 240,000 euros, so the gap between the two narrowed less than in previous…

Selling time splits into two stages: finding a buyer, then completing the paperwork. In the strong 2025 market, sales volumes in the Liège and Namur provinces rose around 16% to 17% (source: Fednot, 2026), so well-priced homes moved quickly. The…

Marche-en-Famenne is best read per square metre: roughly 1,667 euros/m2 overall, with houses near 1,516 euros/m2 and apartments closer to 2,214 euros/m2 (source: Immoweb price index, January 2025). On a typical family house that points to a mid-range six-figure sum,…
