Local market

The apartment market in Warsaw

NBP data (II kw. 2026). We help read what the average means for your budget and a specific listing.

  • 16 723 zł/m²

    Average transaction — secondary market

    A reference point for negotiation, not the price of a specific flat.

  • 16 783 zł/m²

    Average transaction — primary market

    Developer prices are usually higher — we compare the full cost, including fit-out.

  • +2,4%

    Year-on-year change on the primary market

    This is a change in the NBP average, not a promise about your apartment’s price.
