  5. The housing market in Flanders : why the market in still strong … The Flemish are said to be born with a brick in their stomach; a lot of them want to buy or build their own house. Due to the large demand, the offer is becoming more and more limited. The available building lots and the number of houses for sale are not inexhaustible and consequently housing prices have risen considerably in the last years. The “high” real estate prices stayed stable till today. Although real estate may be very expensive, the number of house-owners in Flanders continues to increase. One of the main explanations for this is that a house of your own is a desirable status symbol. Almost 80% is owner of its own house. Even though real estate may be expensive, most of the Flemish opt for the most advantageous option: buying. And as there is not really a drop in demand, property prices are not likely to decrease in the near future. In any case, the cliché of the Flemish being born with a brick in their stomach is herewith confirmed. One of the reasons Real Estate is stable in Belgium! www.realestatecoach.org
