Real estate in tourist destinations getting more expensive

Prices in resort properties have gone up again. Like the year before, this year also saw strong increases - we will pay more for both apartments and houses. Wiślinka, a less popular seaside town, surprised the most in 2022, with the average price for an apartment for sale rising by as much as 45 percent. The average rate for houses also jumped – in this category, the highest increase of 74 percent was recorded in Dziwnówek. On the other hand, apartments in major tourist cities such as Szczecin, Gdansk, and Gdynia are the cheapest. Interestingly, Otodom analysts predict that localities that have been less well-known so far will be on the upswing in the coming years.

"Even though there is the greatest interest in properties in Gdynia, Gdansk, and Szczecin, at the same time, the number of searches in these cities has dropped by almost half in 2022 compared to last July. This is mainly due to the pursuit of housing needs and limited creditworthiness, rather than the purchase of real estate for tourism purposes," Karolina Klimaszewska, an Otodom analyst, commented.
