Data that define a new phase of the market
The real estate market is no longer a place of anticipation. It is increasingly becoming a place of decision-making.
The real estate market in Poland is entering a new phase, and the direction of these changes is becoming increasingly evident in the data and among buyers.
According to the report “Real Estate Customer Sentiment Monitor 2025” (Otodom), as many as 55% of Poles expect apartment prices to rise in the next 12 months, while only 14% anticipate a decline. This marks a clear shift from previous periods, when expectations of a price correction dominated.
Forecasts: Stabilization or Further Growth?
Market analysts indicate that 2026 may bring price stabilization and increased activity among investors and developers, supported by improved access to financing and the completion of new projects.
According to forecasts by Credit Agricole Bank Polska S.A., apartment prices in the largest cities may rise by approximately 5.2% in 2026, following a significantly lower increase projected for 2025 (0.8%). Other analyses point to a more moderate scenario of 3–5% annually, though there are also forecasts assuming growth of up to 10% in 2026–2027 with stable interest rates.
A Shift in Buyers’ Attitudes
A shift in market perception is also evident, particularly among people aged 18–34. As many as 58% of them expect further price increases. At the same time, real estate continues to be viewed as a stable form of capital investment (62% of respondents).
The Market of Decisions
Recent trends indicate that the real estate market is relying less and less on waiting for “bargains” and more and more on informed and rational decisions.
