The purchasing power of Belgians for real estate has taken a hit: the average household can now afford a house of 85 m², compared to 103 m² at the beginning of the year. The Belgian has therefore lost 18 m², the equivalent of a large bedroom, in 9 months. This is apparent from the price meter of real estate platform Immoweb.
