Tutorial – Estimate the price and rent of a property in an unfamiliar neighborhood with Market Explorer

Valuing a property located in a neighborhood you don’t know can be complex. With Market Explorer, you can get a reliable estimate in just 3 minutes. Here’s how to do it, step by step.


➡️ Step 1: Choose the location

  1. Open Market Explorer.
  2. Select a municipality — for example, in the video, Ixelles (Brussels).
  3. Zoom directly in on a specific neighborhood, such as Place du Châtelain.

➡️ Step 2: Target the right market segment

  1. Click the “Market” tab.
  2. Choose “Secondary residential” to filter only this type of market.

➡️ Step 3: Apply the right filters

  1. Open the filter panel.
  2. Filter:
    • Property type: only apartments.
    • Condition: select properties “to renovate” or “to refresh”.

The list of results on the map then automatically adjusts to your criteria.


➡️ Step 4: Analyze properties in detail

Click on a property to view all its characteristics:

  • Number of bedrooms
  • Living area
  • Energy information (EPC)
  • Year of construction
  • Address
  • Transaction type
  • Listing date
  • Total price and price per m²
  • Listing description

📸 Click “View photos” to see the actual condition of the property (up to 17 photos available in the video’s listing).


➡️ Step 5: Use the LASSO tool to target a neighborhood

  1. Activate the LASSO tool via the button at the bottom left.
  2. Draw a precise area around the neighborhood of your choice (in the video, Le Châtelain).
  3. On the right, local statistics are displayed automatically:
    • Median price
    • Median rent
    • Median price per m²
    • Median rent per m²
    • Gross rental yield

✅ In summary

In just a few clicks, you have:

  • Isolated properties comparable to the one you want to estimate.
  • Obtained reliable market statistics.
  • Viewed listings in detail, with photos and technical characteristics.

👉 Market Explorer enables you to make informed decisions, even in a neighborhood you don’t know.
