- Demand for apartments remains strong despite rising prices, with discounts becoming less common.
- While significant price drops are unlikely, some attractive properties may see modest increases.
- Overpriced listings are lingering on the market, indicating a shift in buyer expectations.
Demand for apartments in Poland remains robust, defying expectations of a significant price downturn. While buyers can still find some discounts, the era of deep price reductions appears to be over. The market is now characterized by a stabilization, with a few select properties potentially seeing modest price increases of a few percent.
This resilience in demand contrasts with the lingering presence of overpriced listings. Properties that are not realistically priced are remaining on the market for extended periods, suggesting that sellers and developers are adjusting to a new market reality where buyers are more discerning.
The situation indicates a shift from a seller's market to one where buyers are more cautious. While the market is not experiencing a sharp decline, the days of substantial discounts are likely past, and buyers seeking the most attractive units may face slightly higher prices.
