The conditions that define a good moment to sell, rising prices and plenty of active buyers, were both firmly in place in the most recent complete year. Houses gained 15.4% across Wallonia in 2025 (source: Notaire.be), and transaction volumes rose around 16% to 17% in the Liège and Namur provinces (source: Fednot). A seller wants a deep pool of buyers competing, and that is exactly what the numbers describe.
The counter-intuitive engine behind it is a tax reform aimed at buyers. Since 1 January 2025, someone buying their own and sole home pays 3% registration duties instead of 12.5%. That saving enlarged buyers' budgets and brought hesitant purchasers off the sidelines, so a measure designed to ease purchasing costs ended up strengthening the position of sellers by deepening demand.
None of this guarantees a fast sale at any price. A seller-favourable market rewards realistic pricing and penalises over-ambition: an over-priced home still lingers even when the backdrop is hot. The other timing factors are personal, whether you have somewhere to move to and whether you would trigger the 16.5% capital-gains tax on a resale within five years (a main residence is fully exempt).
Easyhome's promise, sold in 15 days when the owner follows the Easyhome method, is built for exactly this kind of market: it puts the discipline on pricing and marketing from day one.
