30 percent expect an increase in the pace of apartments in the following months. developers, and 20 percent inheritance – according to the developer mood index. Most companies prefer to maintain the current level of housing prices, even if it means slower sales – said.
The latest reading of the developers mood index prepared by TabelaFert.pl shows that May brought deepening extreme opinions among development companies.

The authors of the report pointed out that most developers prefer to maintain the current level of housing prices, even if it means slower sales.

Referring to the reading of the sales rate index, which has been systematically falling since January this year, it was indicated that the optimism of developers visible at the beginning of the year gradually weakens. “In practice, this means that the greatest chances for price negotiations or obtaining more favorable sales conditions are in less popular locations where buyers' interest is smaller,” Matuszko said.

“The vast majority of offers remain in permanent price range, and the price corrections relate to selected investments, mainly on the outskirts of large cities or in less popular locations. (…) developers prefer to limit sales than permanently lower prices. In the coming months you can expect a continuation of this trend” – predicts the managing director of Rednet24 Katarzyna Tworska.

It can lead to a gradual limitation of the availability of selected premises in the second half of 2025, especially on markets such as Warsaw or the Tri -City. For now, however, there is no signals that the situation is to translate into pressure of price growth” – said Tworska. (PAP)
