31 January 2024 · Secretimmo · 2 min read
The Luxembourgish government, represented by Prime Minister Luc Frieden, Housing and Spatial Planning Minister Claude Meisch, and Finance Minister Gilles Roth, has announced several measures aimed at stimulating the real estate sector.
Housing Construction: The government recognizes the natural phenomenon of residents moving to France or Belgium and aims to build quickly to accommodate the population's growth. The goal is for everyone to find housing in Luxembourg.
Simplification of Procedures: Administrative procedures will be streamlined to accelerate housing construction. The search for suitable land will be discussed in collaboration with municipalities.
Public-Private Investment: The state aims to develop the supply of affordable housing with an additional budget of 480 million euros dedicated to acquiring homes in the Sale in Future State of Completion (VEFA). In total, 923 million euros will be allocated over the next four years.
Tax Relief: Tax relief measures will be introduced, including an increase in tax exemption for the sale of land to the Housing Fund. Family allowances will also be increased.
Tax Credit: The tax credit on notarial acts ("Bellegen Akt") will increase from 30,000 to 40,000 euros per household in 2024. A "location" tax credit of 20,000 euros per individual will be introduced. The capital gains tax rate will be reduced to 10% in 2024 for acquisitions of housing for social rental management.
Youth Support: Young people up to the age of 30, earning a maximum salary of 7,550 euros, will be eligible for a rent subsidy of 1,000 euros from their employer, representing a net increase of 100 euros per month.
National Housing Meeting: A national housing meeting is scheduled for February 22 to discuss measures to revive the construction sector.
These measures aim to revive construction, make housing more affordable, and support residents, craftsmanship, and the construction sector. The government emphasizes the importance of acting quickly to boost the real estate sector.

Off-market property with Secretimmo in Luxembourg
Secretimmo is a hybrid estate agency specialised in off-market sales in Luxembourg: the properties we handle are never listed on portals, never promoted on social media and never displayed in a shop window. Each home is introduced individually to qualified buyers whose financing and search profile have been checked beforehand. This protects the owner's privacy, prevents the property from going stale on the open market and preserves its full negotiating value.
Selling discreetly does not mean selling for less. Everything starts with a documented valuation based on transactions actually recorded in the district concerned, the usable surface, the condition of the property, its orientation and its energy performance. That figure becomes the basis of a targeted matching strategy: a handful of meaningful viewings instead of dozens of pointless visits, a negotiation led on objective criteria and a controlled timeline through to the signature at the notary.
For buyers, joining our confidential network means receiving early access to homes that will never be advertised publicly: family houses, high-end apartments, building plots and new developments in Luxembourg City and across the country. You can have your property valued free of charge, register your buying project or simply ask us a question — every request is answered personally and confidentially.
Our team works across the whole Grand Duchy, from the districts of Luxembourg City to Esch-sur-Alzette, the Kirchberg area, the Moselle valley and the northern communes. We advise owners preparing a sale after an inheritance, a separation or a move abroad, as well as investors comparing rental yields between localities. Fees are fixed, communicated before anything starts and payable only once the sale is signed, so you always know where you stand before committing to anything.
