A seaside resort like Monte Carlo? Real estate experts say this city has snatched customers from Gdynia and Gdansk.
Has the slowdown in sales in the real estate market reflected how apartments are sold in tourist towns? Experts have no doubt that this sector operates by slightly different rules. Investors or people who want to have space for themselves in an attractive location for relaxation are looking for seaside apartments. Thus, seaside apartments sell well. “Świnoujście is the most popular. Recently, one of the clients said that this place is like ‘Polish Monte Carlo’. We can say that the West Pomeranian seaside strip is becoming worthy competition to the Tri-City,” says Daniel Makowski, CEO of Champion Invest.
“Świnoujście is the most fashionable”
Real estate market experts note that the West Pomeranian seaside strip in terms of investment is developing very dynamically. It is in Świnoujście, Międzyzdroje, Kołobrzeg, Rewal, Mielno, and smaller towns in the region where new development investments are burgeoning. This refers to both rental apartments and properties bought by those wanting their own “place” in a tourist resort.
“The seaside strip in the West Pomeranian region is developing later than in the Tri-City. There, prices are already so high that investing in Gdynia or Gdansk is unprofitable for some. The increasing number of tourists from Germany and the Czech Republic also argue in favor of investing in Western Pomerania. We notice that the better the infrastructure improves, the more clients say we are becoming an alternative to the Tri-City,” says Daniel Makowski, CEO of Champion Invest.
“Customers on the coast look for tourist attractions, but also for the city to develop and attract people. Świnoujście is the most fashionable. We are regularly asked for real estate prices in this city or for attractive offers,” says Daniel Makowski while admitting that prices on the Baltic are not the lowest. “But they are not as high as it is commonly said. Real estate at the seaside is not usually bought by random customers, and apartments near the beach or on the main promenade are not cheap. However, attractive offers can be found at the seaside,” adds the expert.
“The Baltic attracts”, but it’s too early to talk about a boom
Is a boom in seaside real estate ahead of us? The year 2025 will be better than 2024, but experts still remember the times before the pandemic when indeed lines of investors from all over the world were queuing up for seaside apartments.
“German clients still ask and they are the majority if we talk about inquiries from abroad. Interestingly, we are noticing that Britons are increasingly looking at seaside investments. It’s a change, because there were years when almost all investors from the islands chose the Tri-City,” says Daniel Makowski, CEO of Champion Invest.
“Residents from cities like Wrocław or Poznań choose Świnoujście – thanks to convenient connection via the S3 highway. Warsaw and southern Poland are leaning towards the Tri-City, where business and infrastructure development attracts investors. An interesting fact is that Poles from south-eastern Poland often choose areas closer to the German border, mainly Świnoujście and its surroundings, rather than the Tri-City. We certainly see that the Baltic attracts,” says Makowski.
