Distribution of rental housing types in Brussels in 2018

This statistic shows the distribution of rental housing types in the Brussels capital region in Belgium in 2018. In 2018, approximately six percent of all rental properties in Brussels were single rooms. In recent years, the housing market in Belgium remained stable. This was due to Belgium's fiscal system. When purchasing a house in Belgium, consumers pay the asking price plus ten (in Flanders) or 12 percent (in Wallonia and the Brussels capital region) in registration rights. This makes buying a house in Belgium a long-term investment. Between the first quarter of 2015 and the first quarter of 2017, the house price index of Belgium increased from 142.5 to 154.4, whilst the indices of Luxembourg and the Netherlands increased from 142.5 to 162.8 and 92.5 to 112 respectively in the same period.
