After some great feedback from the people that joined the mailing list from Bigger Pockets, users can now self register, and choose exactly for which postal codes they want to monitor price changes of Real Estate in Belgium.

I also decided to make the service completely free.

Thank you for the feedback and for helping me test this.

Hi Ward, welcome!



What kind of properties are you interested in in the Ghent area? How do you plan to look for good properties?

@Iulian Boia and @Ben Golsteyn , great to hear you're interested.  Can you send me the province(s) in which you're interested, and I'll configure the system to send you these e-mails.

Hi,

currently e-mails can be configured per province only.  Not by percentage difference.

If you send me a PM with your e-mail address I'd be happy to add you to the list in exchange for some feedback.

That offer is also valid for other interested people.

Thank You.

Hello,

about a year ago I created a small tool that automatically visits most real estate agent websites in my country (Belgium) and looks for any properties for which the price has dropped since the day before.  It then sends me an e-mail with these properties every morning.  The goal is to find deals from motivated sellers.  I really like looking at these e-mails while having coffee each morning.

I was talking about it recently with some friends and a few also wanted to get this e-mail every day.

So now there's about 10 people that get this email daily.

I was wondering, are there any other people (in Belgium or interested in Belgium market) that would find this interesting?  Or what are your general thoughts on this idea?

Would it be worth a few $/€ a month for anyone to get these e-mails?

Here's an example of what an e-mail looks like (in dutch) :

 I just got an alert and was trying to understand your message thinking you meant Belgium the country.  Nice to know there's also a city called Belgium :)

@Guillaume Elleboudt , one thing that helped keep me motivated to drive around and visit a lot of properties is this : as a father with two kids, I don't get a lot of time to ride my motorbike, so I use real estate as as an excuse to ride it.

Nothing special I guess, keeping an eye on all real estate websites, driving around, viewing a lot of properties, keeping lots of spreadsheets .

@Guillaume Elleboudt the high cost I think makes real estate more suited to slowly gaining a little bit of wealth, more of a "get rich slowly" approach 😁
