Poles Want HOMES

Difficult access to mortgages, high inflation, and rising prices were not inconsequential for the housing market. Nonetheless, flats remain extremely sought-after in Poland

Before the coronavirus pandemic, between 2011 and 2019, the number of housing units completed in Poland increased by 58 per cent. 2019 was a record year in this respect, with 207,200 units built, or about 5.4 per 1,000 inhabitants. However, Poland is still facing a housing deficit, according to 'The state of housing in Poland' report, prepared by the Ministry of Economic Development in March 2020. The report notes that Poland has around 386 dwellings per 1,000 inhabitants. Among EU countries, a weaker result was recorded only in Slovakia (369 dwellings). In Germany, this ratio was 509, in Hungary 456 and in the Czech Republic 455.
