Poles seek asylum abroad
Since the Russian invasion of Ukraine, Poles have started searching for apartments and houses in Western Europe. In some places, it is even a tenfold increase in inquiries compared to the first half of February 2022.
"The war at our neighbors scared us, but it also gave us a strong impetus not to put off our long-term dreams," Karolina Kaim, CEO of Sunshine by High Level, said.
Currently, for the client, one thing matters – the distance from the homeland, because for many people close neighborhood is no longer perceived as safe. Apart from that, there are no other rules. This increase in interest is shown not only by the analysis of internet trends (Google Trends) but also by the latest data from the snsh.pl portal.
"For a few weeks now, we have seen a huge increase in interest in properties in the West and South of Europe. In the case of Spain, this is a tenfold jump," Karolina Kaim added.
Apart from Spain, the most popular destinations are Portugal, Italy, and France. Data from snsh.pl indicate that we are more likely to choose real estate located in continental Europe than islands, due to the direct car connection with Poland. The budget offers a lot of possibilities – real estate in the West and the South starts at €100,000, but clients also ask about high-end real estate – from €300,000 to even €1 million and more.
