The 5 most important conclusions from PRES, i.e. starting points for discussions at FRN 2026
The PRES Polish Real Estate Summit 2025 closed a year full of changes in the property market, setting the topics that will shape industry discussions in 2026. In June, during the Property Market Forum in Sopot, experts will meet again to answer the key question: where is the housing market and investment in Poland heading?
Today, we have prepared five conclusions from the PRES Polish Real Estate Summit 2025, which open the discussion at the Real Estate Market Forum 2026.
The fifth edition of the Zakopane event was a kind of summary of the year on the real estate market in Poland. It summarised the housing situation, new laws and how buyers currently treat neighbourhoods.
The sixteenth edition of the Real Estate Market Forum will take place in June, during which hot topics will gain even more momentum. Below are five key observations from the summit, which form the basis for further discussions in Sopot:
1️⃣ The housing market is getting closer to equilibrium
Stabilising demand and supply, slower price increases and greater transparency of offers indicate that 2026 may be a moment of calm after the dynamic months of the past year.
2️⃣ Creditworthiness opens doors for buyers again
A series of interest rate cuts is improving the financial situation of Poles — the coming year will show how strongly this will translate into sales. The sixth interest rate cut, which we wrote about yesterday, lowered the reference rate to 4 percentage points on an annual basis.
3️⃣ PRS at a turning point
Institutional leasing needs a breath of fresh capital and regulatory stability to return to a trajectory of rapid growth. Stable cash flow, low turnover, high demand in larger cities – this format will grow.
4️⃣ Individual investors are seeking new avenues
Falling rental margins and high geopolitical uncertainty are shifting the focus of investment decisions. It is simply time for more informed strategies, perhaps seeking mixed-use options or locations in 15-minute neighbourhoods.
5️⃣ Housing availability will test the system
Rising costs, limited land supply, the recurring issue of vacant properties and demographic challenges signal the need for long-term solutions, from SBC to cross-sector cooperation.
These conclusions are just the beginning of some very interesting discussions.
The most important question is: what next?
We will find out the answer on 11–12 June 2026 during the 16th edition of the FRN Real Estate Market Forum in Sopot.
