This is a very subjective matter,\u201d the expert adds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_85 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-grey ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">Table of Contents<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><a href=\"#\" class=\"ez-toc-pull-right ez-toc-btn ez-toc-btn-xs ez-toc-btn-default ez-toc-toggle\" aria-label=\"Toggle Table of Content\"><span class=\"ez-toc-js-icon-con\"><span class=\"\"><span class=\"eztoc-hide\" style=\"display:none;\">Toggle<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-icon-toggle-span\"><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" class=\"list-377408\" width=\"20px\" height=\"20px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" fill=\"none\"><path d=\"M6 6H4v2h2V6zm14 0H8v2h12V6zM4 11h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2zM4 16h2v2H4v-2zm16 0H8v2h12v-2z\" fill=\"currentColor\"><\/path><\/svg><svg style=\"fill: #999;color:#999\" class=\"arrow-unsorted-368013\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" width=\"10px\" height=\"10px\" viewBox=\"0 0 24 24\" version=\"1.2\" baseProfile=\"tiny\"><path d=\"M18.2 9.3l-6.2-6.3-6.2 6.3c-.2.2-.3.4-.3.7s.1.5.3.7c.2.2.4.3.7.3h11c.3 0 .5-.1.7-.3.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7zM5.8 14.7l6.2 6.3 6.2-6.3c.2-.2.3-.5.3-.7s-.1-.5-.3-.7c-.2-.2-.4-.3-.7-.3h-11c-.3 0-.5.1-.7.3-.2.2-.3.5-.3.7s.1.5.3.7z\"\/><\/svg><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/ceo.com.pl\/en\/apartment-for-sale-banners-appear-on-more-buildings-as-polands-secondary-housing-market-sees-strong-growth-in-listings-61485\/#Poles_are_both_selling_and_buying_apartments\" >Poles are both selling and buying apartments<\/a><\/li><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-2\" href=\"https:\/\/ceo.com.pl\/en\/apartment-for-sale-banners-appear-on-more-buildings-as-polands-secondary-housing-market-sees-strong-growth-in-listings-61485\/#It_is_difficult_to_find_an_offer_below_PLN_10000_per_square_metre\" >It is difficult to find an offer below PLN 10,000 per square metre<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Poles_are_both_selling_and_buying_apartments\"><\/span>Poles are both selling and buying apartments<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cProperty for sale\u201d, \u201cApartment for sale\u201d, \u201cBuy me\u201d, \u201cReady-to-move-in apartment\u201d and even \u201cCome, see it, live here\u201d \u2014 when walking through large cities, such messages are increasingly visible on residential buildings. The secondary market is attracting strong interest, in many cases even greater than the primary market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is estimated that around 30,000\u201335,000 new housing offers may appear on the market every month. The total number of available offers usually stands at around 140,000\u2013150,000. The largest number is, of course, recorded in agglomerations such as Warsaw and Pozna\u0144. Greater supply is coinciding with stronger demand. Looking at the first quarter of 2026, there is no indication that Poles were frightened, for example, by the war in the Middle East, although many experts expected this situation to generate anxiety and delay decisions to buy or sell property,\u201d says Miros\u0142aw Kr\u00f3l.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the expert, apartments usually appear on the secondary market either when the owner has an urgent need to sell \u2014 for example because they need cash, are building a house, or are moving to another city or country \u2014 or when market activity is strong enough for properties to sell well without large price discounts.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cWe are currently seeing a revival and the best situation in many months. Apartments on the secondary market are selling better than new-build units. Sellers, however, must be prepared for differences between asking prices and transaction prices of even more than 10%,\u201d adds Kr\u00f3l.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"It_is_difficult_to_find_an_offer_below_PLN_10000_per_square_metre\"><\/span>It is difficult to find an offer below PLN 10,000 per square metre<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>The growing number of offers in large cities means that buyers have a broad choice of apartments on the secondary market. Two- and three-room apartments dominate, usually in buildings that are at least 15 years old. There is also no shortage of apartments in tenement houses, annex buildings or even large-panel housing blocks. Prices, naturally, depend on location and the standard of the property.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThe most expensive markets are Warsaw, Krak\u00f3w and Tricity. In asking prices, it is generally difficult to find anything below PLN 10,000 per square metre, but after negotiations, transaction prices often fall to as low as PLN 8,000\u20139,000. One example from before the May holiday period was an apartment in Szczecin listed at PLN 10,400 per square metre, which was eventually bought for PLN 8,900 per square metre. Another example comes from Warsaw, where the asking price was PLN 17,500 per square metre and the transaction price was PLN 16,500. This creates the potential to save tens of thousands of zlotys,\u201d says Miros\u0142aw Kr\u00f3l.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>According to the expert, the second quarter is usually a relatively stable period for the real estate market. However, he notes that supply is clearly increasing.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>\u201cThis trend will continue until the end of the year if demand keeps pace with supply. Buyer interest remains strong,\u201d he adds.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Banners reading \u201capartment for sale\u201d are appearing on an increasing number of apartment blocks and tenement buildings across Polish cities.
