Poland below the EU average. Check where the apartments are more expensive
Housing prices in Poland are rising more slowly than in the EU. Portugal and Bulgaria are the leaders of the growth, and in the decade the record fell in Hungary – 257 percent.
According to the latest Eurostat data, real estate prices in Poland in the second quarter of 2025 increased by an average of 4.7 percent. compared to the same period a year earlier. This result is lower than the average in the European Union, where an increase of 5.4 percent was recorded, and in the euro area – 5.1 percent. Compared to the first quarter of this year, apartments and houses in Poland increased by 1.2 percent, while in the entire EU the increase was 1.6 percent.
Flats prices
The statement shows that Poland is slightly below the EU average price dynamics, but the market still records systematic increases. Of the Member States, only Finland recorded a decrease – by 1.3 percent. The largest increases took place in Portugal, where prices increased by as much as 17.2 percent. year on year. Bulgaria (+15.5 percent) and Hungary (+15.1 percent) took the next places.
In quarterly terms, declines appeared only in France (-0.2 percent) and Belgium (-0.1 percent). Portugal (+4.7 percent), Luxembourg (+4.5 percent) and Croatia (+4.4 percent) have affected the strongest increases. These data indicate clear differences in price dynamics between individual markets, with southern and eastern countries currently recording a much faster rate of growth.
High increases
Long -term analysis covering the period from the second quarter of 2015 to the second quarter of 2025 shows even greater discrepancies. The leader is Hungary, where real estate prices have increased by as much as 257 percent. High increases reaching about 150 percent Portugal, Lithuania and Bulgaria also recorded. Poland was in the top ten, with a result of 115 percent. within a decade. This means a more than double increase in the value of real estate in the country.
For comparison, in Germany, housing prices increased by 53 percent, in France by 27 percent, and in Finland they were practically unchanged. These differences show how different the mechanisms shaping the market in individual parts of Europe are – from demand pressure in Central and South Europe to stabilization or slowing down in Western and northern countries.
