In early 2022, habicom will open a new office on Strijdersstraat in Edegem. Ben Verhelst, who is already active at habicom, will take the helm of this 6th habicom office. Naranjo Decamps, director of habicom, says: "Ben has over 12 years of experience and is a true Edegem resident at heart. Since we not only sell bricks but also the location, Ben is the real estate expert you need in Edegem."
"Habicom is no stranger to Edegem," says Ben. "In recent years, we have helped many buyers and sellers, as well as tenants and landlords, realize their real estate dreams and have provided more than 280 families with a new home in Edegem." So far, habicom has mainly been present in the streets of Edegem with their distinctive green signs, and next year the office on Strijdersstraat will be added. Ben says: "This way, we can offer an even better service to our customers. Soon, they can simply go to Edegem for tasks like handing over keys, signing a compromise, etc., instead of going to one of the surrounding offices."
This will likely be used a lot, as there is a lot of activity in the Edegem real estate market. Ben explains: "Due to aging, many homes are coming onto the market. At the same time, many young people are moving from the city to the southern outskirts of Antwerp, for example, because they are expecting children. Edegem appeals to them because of its residential character and abundant greenery." This popularity is also reflected in the numbers: in the past 20 years, house prices in Edegem have risen by a whopping 169%*. In 2000, the average price for a house in Edegem was €137,220*. By 2020, that average price had risen to €369,390*. The price increase for apartments in Edegem is even more remarkable, having gone up by 180%* in 20 years.
In Edegem, Ben will be assisted by his girlfriend Lynn, who is also very experienced and excels in customer friendliness. So, whether it's a small apartment (as an investment) or a spacious detached house, you are welcome with all your real estate questions and housing wishes at the Edegem office starting next year.
