Residential developers sold 12,500 homes across Poland’s seven largest housing markets in the third quarter of 2026, up 5.7 pct from the previous quarter. They launched 12,800 new units, while the number of homes available for sale reached 70,200 at the end of September. According to real estate consultancy JLL, sales and new supply are broadly balanced, but the growing stock of completed unsold homes and shifting buyer sentiment point to a more uncertain outlook.
