Experts calling for caution on home sales abroad
Polish capital is flowing mainly to EU real estate markets, although some investors are also exploring emerging destinations. Buying a second home abroad is no longer limited to the wealthiest; a strong Polish middle class is driving demand, supported by better flight connections, professional property management and growing expat communities.
Spain remains the top choice, with over 4,100 properties purchased by Poles in 2025, though rising prices and tighter short-term rental regulations require careful project selection. Portugal and Italy are also popular for their legal security. Albania offers a lower entry threshold but carries structural risks.
Higher returns are advertised in markets such as Oman, the Dominican Republic or Zanzibar, yet experts warn of regulatory uncertainty, resale liquidity issues and dependence on tourism. They recommend prioritizing stable, transparent markets over headline yields.
