Polish land market entering phase of tension with shrinking supply
The Polish land market has reached a turning point, driven by shrinking supply, rising demand, and upcoming spatial-planning reforms. In 2024, the number of land listings fell by 13% y/y, while buyer interest increased by 7% y/y, pushing prices higher and speeding up transactions in attractive locations. Building plots face the strongest pressure, with demand up 21% y/y and supply down 11% y/y. The market has clearly shifted in favor of sellers, with strong regional differences in availability, prices, and sales pace.
Warsaw remains the most expensive market, while eastern regions record the fastest price growth. Planned zoning reforms increase uncertainty and risk, encouraging faster investment decisions and greater reliance on market expertise.
