The increase in supply pushed the number of apartments available for sale to 16,345 at the end of June, up 7.1 pct from three months earlier. Even so, quarterly sales remained 4.6 pct above the five-year average of 3,670 homes, according to data from CBRE and Tabelaofert.pl.

Warsaw remains one of the markets attracting interest from luxury brands, including some that have yet to enter Poland.

Poland’s warehouse market picked up noticeably in the first half of 2026 after a year dominated by lease renegotiations.

The vacancy rate fell to 6.3 pct and space under construction dropped to its lowest level in more than nine years.

This was 36 pct above the five-year average and the sector’s third-highest first-half investment volume on record, after 2020 and 2021.

Investors are increasingly prioritising long-term, predictable income, while sale-and-leaseback transactions are becoming an increasingly important way of bringing assets to market.
