Apartment prices in Poland: the Q2 2026 report
This is Seeki.eu's quarterly read on apartment asking prices in Poland, covering the second quarter of 2026 (April to June). The figures are median asking prices per square metre for apartments listed for sale, priced in złoty. Asking prices are what sellers want, not what buyers finally pay; a transaction price usually settles a few per cent lower. Where we show a quarter-on-quarter change, it compares the median for listings that came to market in Q2 2026 against the median for those that appeared in Q1 2026.
Median asking price per m² by city
The table covers the twenty largest apartment markets by number of Q2 2026 listings, ranked from the busiest. Prices are in złoty per square metre; the change column compares against the previous quarter.

Warsaw stays clearly ahead, with a median above 17 thousand złoty per metre, and Kraków is the only other city in the same bracket. Gdańsk and Wrocław anchor a second tier, with Poznań and Gdynia close behind. Łódź is the most affordable of the big cities, near 9 thousand złoty per metre. Quarter-on-quarter moves were small and mixed in direction: gains in Warsaw, Kraków, Katowice, Bydgoszcz and Białystok, and slight declines in Poznań, Wrocław, Gdańsk and Szczecin.
How prices moved this quarter
Across the ninety cities that met our sample threshold, the middle city posted a rise of under one per cent, and only one city moved by more than fifteen per cent in either direction. Pooled across the whole country, the national median held roughly flat near 10,800 złoty per metre, little changed from the first quarter. That steadier national reading partly reflects a shift in the mix of listings rather than falling prices: more listings from lower-priced cities came to market in Q2, which pulls the pooled figure down even as most individual cities edged up.
The national picture in official data
For an official reference point, the most recent House Price Index published by Eurostat covers the fourth quarter of 2025. It put Polish house prices up 1.5 per cent on the previous quarter and 4.3 per cent on the year (Eurostat, series prc_hpi_q, Q4 2025). Official indices are based on completed transactions and are released with a lag, so they trail the asking-price picture by two to three quarters. Read together, the two sources point the same way: a market that is still rising, but far more slowly than in the years of cheap credit.
Methodology
Each city's figure is the median asking price per square metre for apartments listed for sale in złoty, with a stated price per metre between 1,000 and 60,000 zł, which removes obvious data errors and extreme entries. A listing is assigned to the quarter in which it first appeared on Seeki.eu, and both active and since-removed listings are counted, so each quarter reflects the full set of homes that came to market in it. We report the median rather than the mean, because the mean is pulled upward by a handful of premium listings. Prices are stated in złoty, the local currency, so the quarter-on-quarter change is unaffected by exchange-rate movement. The table shows the twenty largest markets; the downloadable dataset covers all ninety cities that had at least 100 listings in Q2 2026 and at least 50 in Q1 2026, the threshold that keeps each median and each change figure stable. Year-on-year comparison is not yet available: Seeki.eu began indexing the Polish market at the end of 2025, so the first full-year comparison will come with the 2027 reports. These are asking prices, not transaction prices.
Frequently asked questions
Are these asking prices or transaction prices?
Asking prices, taken from active and recently listed sale offers. The price a home finally sells for is usually lower, and the gap widens when demand softens.
Why report the median instead of the average?
The average is distorted by a few very expensive listings. The median is the middle listing, with half the market priced above it and half below, so it better reflects what a typical buyer sees.
Why is there no year-on-year figure?
Seeki.eu started covering the Polish market at the end of 2025, so a full year-earlier quarter does not yet exist. Year-on-year change will appear in the 2027 quarterly reports.
Which cities are the most and least expensive?
Among the twenty largest markets, Warsaw is the most expensive at more than 17 thousand złoty per metre, and Łódź the most affordable at around 9 thousand. Current prices for any city or district are on the price per m² page for Poland.
