In May, the Tricity was the only major metropolitan area in Poland where the average price per square metre of apartments offered by developers increased. In Warsaw, meanwhile, the average price returned below PLN 20,000. In the other largest cities, prices barely moved, according to preliminary BIG DATA figures from RynekPierwotny.pl.
Warsaw continues to attract the most attention. Since the beginning of 2026, the average price per square metre in the capital has risen from just under PLN 18,500 to nearly PLN 20,000, or by around 8%. In May, however, there was a slight correction: the average price fell by around PLN 100 to PLN 19,900 per square metre.
“This was not the result of price-list reductions, but rather a change in the structure of supply. A large pool of apartments entered the market, including relatively affordable units in projects such as Głębocka Vita and the next stages of Bulwary Praskie,” said Marek Wielgo, an expert at RynekPierwotny.pl.
Prices also remained stable for the second month in a row in Kraków and Wrocław, where average prices stand at PLN 17,100 and PLN 15,300 per square metre, respectively. In Poznań, after earlier modest increases, May brought a symbolic correction to PLN 14,200 per square metre, around PLN 100 less than a month earlier.
In Łódź, the average price remains at around PLN 11,500 per square metre and has hardly changed since the beginning of the year. In the cities of the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia, the average stands at around PLN 11,200 per square metre, with periods of stabilisation alternating with slight declines.
Against this backdrop, the Tricity stands out. After three months of relative price equilibrium, the average price there rose in May by around 1%, from PLN 17,700 to PLN 17,800 per square metre. These are still preliminary data, however, and the fuller market picture may still change slightly.
On a year-on-year basis, clear differences between markets are visible. In Warsaw, the average price per square metre is around 10% higher than a year ago. In the Tricity and Poznań, the increase is around 6%, in Wrocław around 4%, and in Kraków around 3%. In Łódź, prices remain virtually unchanged compared with a year earlier, while in the cities of the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia they are around 1% lower than in May 2025.
According to the RynekPierwotny.pl expert, the current price stabilisation is largely the result of a record-high supply of apartments and a growing share of completed units. In some metropolitan areas, they already account for 20–30% of the total offer, while as many as 40–50% of apartments currently being sold are either already completed or due to be delivered within the next few months.
In practice, this means strong competition on the market. The high availability of apartments limits upward price pressure and supports negotiations, especially in cities with oversupply, such as Łódź and the Górnośląsko-Zagłębiowska Metropolia, where developers are clearly intensifying their sales efforts.
