Monthly consumer price index of housing rent in Belgium 2019-2022
How much does a house cost in Belgium?
In 2021, a house in Belgium would cost approximately 282,000 euros. There are, however, large differences between the three regions that exist in the country. A house in Flanders (the Dutch-speaking region), for example cost substantially more than a house in the French-speaking part of the country (Wallonia) but less than in the Brussels-Capital Region (the city of Brussels and its surrounding villages).
Building permits are increasing
Like in other European countries, housing prices and rents have increased due to a shortage of residential real estate. Demand increased, whilst supply could not keep up. In Belgium, Flanders is the region with the largest share of building permits issued, followed by Wallonia, and the Brussels-Capital region.
