Active and dormant listings
A listing that is online is not necessarily rented. This page compares, city by city, the entire homes in the file with those counted as active, and — for the three Belgian cities — the dormant listings with no review in twelve months.
Entire homes listed and active, five cities
The active share ranges from 74.2% in Ghent to 45.6% in London.
| City | Entire homes | Active entire homes | Active share |
|---|---|---|---|
| Brussels | 3,509 | 2,425 | 69.1% |
| Antwerp | 2,062 | 1,370 | 66.4% |
| Ghent | 966 | 717 | 74.2% |
| Dublin | 3,884 | 2,266 | 58.3% |
| London | 61,074 | 27,828 | 45.6% |
Dormant listings, Belgian cities
| City | Entire homes | No review in 12 months | Share | No price shown |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Brussels | 3,509 | 750 | 21.4% | 589 |
| Antwerp | 2,062 | 507 | 24.6% | 419 |
| Ghent | 966 | 159 | 16.5% | 157 |
Active homes exclude both listings without a recent review and listings without a usable price, so the gap between "entire homes" and "active" is not equal to the number of dormant listings: some dormant listings also have no price.
