New-build asking prices in Poland stand 23.3% above resale in September

The median asking price for a newly built apartment listed in Poland reached PLN 14,052 per square metre in September 2026, compared with PLN 11,392 on the resale market. The 23.3% difference comes from active listings on Gratka.pl, not registered sale transactions. It is a gap between two different pools of homes, rather than the premium paid for an identical apartment in the same street.

Across all listed apartments, the national median was PLN 13,125 per square metre, up 0.96% from August and 7.14% from September 2025. The median asking price for an entire apartment was PLN 649,000, 5.21% higher than a year earlier. Gratka’s active inventory exceeded 120,000 flats, including approximately 63,800 new-build and 56,300 resale offers. The dataset measures the visible supply on one property portal.

The geography is not uniform. Gdańsk had the highest median among the major cities cited, at PLN 18,000 per square metre, followed by Warsaw at PLN 17,222 and Kraków at PLN 16,068. In Warsaw, the national new-build premium reversed: the resale median was PLN 17,663, compared with PLN 16,900 for new homes. Central locations and differences in the stock on offer can help explain such contrasts.

New-build listings also stayed advertised longer, averaging 110 days versus 57 days for resale homes. That may affect negotiation and absorption, but the figures do not show achieved discounts or completed deals. Buyers should compare similar sizes, neighbourhoods, building condition and transaction terms before treating the national 23.3% spread as a price advantage. A listing median is not an appraisal or a forecast.
