Real estate developers in Poland saw a significant decline in apartment sales during January 2026 compared to the previous month, although year-on-year sales showed a notable increase.
In January 2026, a report by Otodom Analytics revealed that developers in Poland's seven largest markets, including Warsaw and Krakow, sold 3,800 apartments. This figure represents a 27% decrease compared to December 2025, indicating a slowdown in demand. However, the number of sales still shows a 29% increase compared to January of the previous year. The report highlights a trend where good apartments, which are in high demand, are likely to see further price increases, contrasting with a general stagnation in the market for less desirable properties.
The data suggests a complex landscape for the Polish real estate market, where high-demand zones are experiencing rising prices while other regions are seeing a cooling off. Tabelaofert.pl corroborated these findings, noting a 10% average decline in sales across ten markets compared to December 2025. This suggests that while there may be pockets of strong activity, the overall market sentiment may be shifting towards caution amid fluctuating consumer interest.
Looking ahead, the report provides insights into projected trends for the housing market, highlighting the potential for continued price hikes for desirable properties even as the overall sales figures indicate a squeeze on new cut. This dual narrative of opportunity for certain segments against a backdrop of broader slowdown provides valuable context as developers adjust to changing buyer sentiment and market conditions.
