Transformation of housing market in Poland continues
Experts at Property Forum 2025 agreed that Poland’s housing market has not ended its boom but entered a new phase. Demand remains strong, with up to 2.5 million homes expected in the next decade, though growth varies regionally: in Katowice oversupply means 18 quarters to sell stock, while in Warsaw it takes only six. Prices rose 33% in Tricity versus 12% in Szczecin (2023–2025). Trends include “15-minute city” projects, institutional rental (PRS) complementing ownership, and adapting offices into housing.
Controversy surrounds a proposed tax on unsold units, criticized as populist. Experts stressed shifting from quantity to quality, urban diversification, and policies to support sustainable, affordable housing.
