Ready-to-move-in apartments are currently selling the fastest on Poland’s primary housing market. Data from the Housing Price Barometer prepared by the residential property portal Tabelaofert.pl show that in April, nearly one in three buyers chose an apartment in a completed development. Such units accounted for almost 32% of total sales. At the end of April, 15,600 apartments were available in completed projects, representing nearly 23% of the total developer offer across the seven largest markets.
April was another month of price stabilization on the primary market. The average apartment price across the seven largest markets stood at PLN 16,011 per square metre, up by just 0.6% compared with March. Compared with December 2025, the average price increased by 1.7%, but this was not the result of widespread price-list increases. It was mainly due to the faster sale of cheaper apartments, which have recently attracted strong buyer interest.
“Looking only at average prices, one might get the impression that apartments are becoming more expensive, but the sales structure shows something different. Cheaper units are currently selling the fastest, which automatically raises the average price of apartments remaining in the offer,” said Robert Chojnacki, founder and vice-president of Tabelaofert.pl.
In April 2026, developers operating in the seven largest markets sold 3,900 apartments, down 8.9% compared with March. However, the correction had been expected, as March saw an acceleration in purchasing decisions among some mortgage-backed buyers who were concerned about rising financing costs. As a result, part of the demand was brought forward into the previous month.
The largest monthly declines in sales were recorded in Warsaw and Wrocław, both at around 20%. By contrast, clear increases in the number of apartments sold were seen in Poznań, where sales rose by 25.2%, and in Łódź, where they increased by 15.8%.
Average prices do not show the whole market
The average apartment price in Warsaw includes both popular-segment units and premium apartments, which means it does not always accurately reflect the situation faced by most buyers. In April, the average price of all apartments in the capital stood at PLN 19,600 per square metre, while in the popular segment — which accounts for as much as 68% of the entire Warsaw offer — it was PLN 16,300 per square metre. This was PLN 3,300 less than the overall average for the capital. The average price of higher-standard apartments and premium units reached PLN 29,200 per square metre.
A similar mechanism can also be seen in other large cities. The biggest differences between the average price of all apartments and prices in the popular segment were recorded in the Tricity area, at around 22%, and in Warsaw, at around 16%. These are the markets where the large share of expensive premium developments has the strongest impact on the average price for the entire city.
“The average price in Warsaw is increasingly distorted by the large number of premium and apartment projects, which have a significant impact on city-wide statistics. Meanwhile, the popular segment currently accounts for the majority of the offer and remains clearly cheaper, which makes it a much better point of reference for most buyers than the overall market average,” commented Robert Chojnacki.
In April, a slight decline in the average asking price was recorded in Wrocław, where prices fell by 1.5%. In Warsaw, the average price increased by 1.3%. In the remaining analysed cities, prices remained stable, with monthly changes not exceeding 1%. Compared with December 2025, average prices declined only in Łódź and Katowice, while Warsaw recorded an increase of nearly 5%.
Broad supply continues to cool prices
One of the main factors stabilizing prices remains the broad supply of apartments. At the end of April, developers operating in the seven largest markets offered 68,700 units, almost 2% more than a month earlier. The largest increases in the number of available apartments were recorded in Wrocław, up 6.4%, and Warsaw, up 5.2%. Supply declined only in Łódź, down 2%, and Katowice, down 3%.
“Ready-to-move-in apartments are attracting strong interest today because buyers can see the final product before purchase and move in much faster. For many buyers, this is more important than buying at a very early stage of development,” said Ewa Palus, chief analyst at Tabelaofert.pl.
The analysis was prepared on the basis of internal monitoring of the primary housing market conducted by the Tabelaofert.pl analytics department. The study covers around 3,000 developments comprising more than 100,000 apartments. Monitoring is carried out both in the largest regional cities and in towns forming part of the metropolitan areas of the largest urban centres. Data are updated monthly, quarterly or semi-annually, depending on the scope of the market being analysed.
The report is based on current analysis of developer supply, apartment prices, sales levels and changes in supply on the primary market.
The material covers Poland’s seven largest residential markets: Warsaw, Wrocław, the Tricity area, Kraków, Poznań, Łódź and Katowice.
