Poland house prices rose 6.3% year on year in Q2 2026

Poland’s national housing-price index stayed firmly positive in the second quarter, but the split between quarterly and annual rates is worth keeping. On a year-on-year basis, new homes still edged ahead of the secondary market, with prices up 6.5% versus 6.1%. Over the latest quarter, however, the secondary market moved slightly faster: 1.6% compared with 1.3% for primary-market homes.

The figures are a national price-change measure, not an average price per square metre and not a city ranking. They therefore cannot show whether Warsaw, Kraków, Wrocław or smaller markets moved at the same pace. They also do not by themselves establish affordability, transaction liquidity or rental returns.

For buyers and investors, the useful signal is that broad price momentum remained positive across both major segments. The next question is whether that pace is supported by transaction volumes, mortgage conditions and the construction pipeline. Estate Briefing will keep those measures separate rather than treating one national HPI release as a complete description of the Polish housing market.
