The Evolution of Real Estate Prices in Leuven: An Analysis
Leuven, a city steeped in history and vibrant energy, has experienced a remarkable evolution in real estate prices over the years. In this article, we will take a closer look at the trends, factors, and forecasts that have influenced the real estate market in Leuven.
Real estate market at the Belgian coast
The Belgian coast is traditionally an attractive location in terms of real estate. With a coast length of 67 kilometers and about 9 coastal municipalities, it is a great location for a second home or investment property, among other things. What makes it attractive for you to get started as a real estate agent or franchise on the Belgian coast?
Real estate loans: New historic drop for the "20-year fixed rate"!
This is certainly an exceptional case, but a well-known Belgian bank recently awarded a loan rate of 0.70 % to one of its clients. For both buyers and sellers, the market is currently profitable for all players in the real estate sector. It is therefore an ideal time to make an advantageous transaction.

Durbuy, a charming city to discover
Durbuy is a historic town in eastern Belgium, in the Ardennes region. Although it has fewer than 500 inhabitants, Durbuy nevertheless has city status. Indeed, it's actually the "smallest city in the world", and was first granted this status by a city charter which it received during the Middle Ages. The document remains in force to this day, and Durbuy is still a charming city to discover with Engel & Völkers.

Belgian praline, a special sweetness
Of course, everyone knows about Belgian chocolate, which has a well-established international reputation. However, we tend to know rather less about Belgian praline which originated in Brussels, in 1912, and has become one of confectionery’s unmissable specialities.
The penthouse, an original concept
It was in the 1920s, also called "the Roaring Twenties," that the concept of a penthouse first appeared in the cityscape. Penthouses, apartments occupying the area of the top floor of a building, were very popular in New York until the time of the 1929 stock market crash. Afterwards, penthouses became scarcer again, especially during World War II. In the 1950s, people put up towering buildings again, and at the same time luxury penthouses reappeared. To this day, these luxury apartments are in high demand, especially in the centers of major cities.
Architects of luxury real estate
Especially before the Covid-19 crisis, the luxury real estate market was doing very well. Especially in Flanders, there was an increase in transactions in the months leading up to the lockdown. A dozen Belgian architects targeted a client segment consisting of wealthy people.
