Distribution of tenants in Brussels in 2018, by age group

This statistic shows the distribution of tenants in the Brussels-Capital Region in Belgium in 2018, by age group. In 2018, approximately ten percent of the respondents was younger than 25 years old. 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.
