The average asking price of homes offered by developers in Warsaw has exceeded PLN 20,000 per square metre for the first time. October brought relative stability in most major Polish markets, with Wrocław the exception: its average rose 2% from September.
Preliminary BIG DATA RynekPierwotny.pl figures, which remain subject to slight revisions, show almost unchanged average prices in six of the seven markets analysed.
Warsaw remains the most expensive market
Warsaw is followed by the Tri-City at PLN 18,100 per square metre and Kraków at PLN 17,300. Wrocław ranks fourth at PLN 16,300, ahead of Poznań at PLN 14,600, Łódź at PLN 11,700 and the cities of the Upper Silesian–Zagłębie Metropolis at PLN 11,200.
Expensive launches lift Wrocław’s average
New homes launched for sale in Wrocław in October averaged PLN 24,300 per square metre, almost 50% above the average for the entire available offer. This shift in composition explains its marked increase.
“Such a large difference translated into an increase in the average price of homes available on the market. The situation in the other major cities was the reverse. Homes launched for sale were cheaper on average than the developer stock already available, which helped stabilise prices,” explained Marek Wielgo, an expert at RynekPierwotny.pl.
Wielgo added that the supply of homes in the lowest price bands contracted in most major markets during October. The number offered at up to PLN 15,000 per square metre fell 9% in Wrocław, 5% in Kraków and 3% in Warsaw, while remaining broadly stable in the Tri-City.
For Łódź, Poznań and the Upper Silesian–Zagłębie Metropolis, the comparison covers homes priced at up to PLN 12,000 per square metre. Their number fell 4% in Łódź and 3% in Poznań, but rose 3% in the metropolitan area.
Wrocław narrows the gap with Kraków
At the start of the year, Wrocław’s average new-home price was almost 10% below Kraków’s. The gap is now approximately 6%, Wielgo noted.
A year ago, none of Poland’s major metropolitan markets had an average above PLN 18,000 per square metre. Warsaw is now the first to cross PLN 20,000, with its average 9% higher year on year.
Annual increases elsewhere were smaller: approximately 7% in Poznań, Wrocław and the Tri-City, 4% in Łódź and 3% in Kraków. Prices in the Upper Silesian–Zagłębie Metropolis were virtually unchanged over 12 months.
