Buying in Gilze therefore almost always means choosing space and land.

For which buyers is Gilze a good choice?

Gilze mainly appeals to movers and families looking for a spacious owner-occupied home with a garden, in a safe and social environment. The average transaction price of almost €899,000 makes this not a starter market. Starters who still want to buy would do well to keep a close eye on the supply in the lower price range (from €269,000) and take into account additional costs such as transfer tax and notary fees. Supply is limited and homes sell quickly. Those looking for more flexibility can also look at rental homes in Gilze as an intermediate step.
