Rising Numbers, Shrinking Spaces
Poland recorded nearly 209,000 apartments put into use last year, marking the seventh consecutive year with over 200,000 completions. This represents a 4% increase from the previous year.
The total usable area of newly built homes reached 18.2 million square meters, growing by 1.8% year-on-year.
Average Size Decline
The average apartment size decreased to 87.0 square meters, reflecting a trend toward smaller living spaces in the Polish housing market.
Future Market Outlook
Construction permits issued for new buildings dropped by more than 25% compared to the previous year, reaching the lowest level since 2016.
However, construction starts increased by nearly 14% to almost 266,000 units, suggesting potential market shifts ahead.
