Why expensive does not automatically sell fast

Premium municipalities often combine scarcity and purchasing power. That only helps sellers if the asking price stays defensible. Also see risers and fallers - expensive and fast-rising do not always overlap.

Next step

Do not set your asking price on gut feeling. Start with a value estimate and compare with property prices in your municipality.

Frequently asked questions

Not automatically. Scarcity only helps if your asking price sits in a defensible range. Momentum differs per municipality.

What data is this ranking based on?

On median sale prices for houses from our Statbel and Fednot bundle (reference year 2026). These are market figures, not address-level appraisals.

How do I go from median to my actual home?

Start a value estimate with postcode and property type. Then compare with municipal prices and your loan or sale scenario.
