Own study based on the CSO data
Limiting the supply of apartments can have a significant impact on prices. By assuming other unchanging factors, lower supply (resulting from a decrease in the number of building permits and investments started) should theoretically result in price increases. Market data is interesting because the already started and expected further interest rates will support creditworthiness, and this can mean an increase in demand. With limited supply, this would mean an increase in premises prices. On the other hand, Poland's demographic challenges (decrease in the population) may affect against price increases, especially with limited immigration (although the indicator of the area per capita is still much lower than the EU average).
Number of apartments put into use

The number of apartments allocated for the sale or rent of commissioned for use was 10,000. 154 pieces, which means a 3.8 percent decrease year to year, and in a monthly increase of 11 percent
After six months of 2025, 92.2 thousand were commissioned. apartments, i.e. by 3.5 percent Less than in the same period of 2024, developers donated 57,000 for operation. apartments – by 2.9 percent less than a year ago – while individual investors 32.9 thousand, i.e. by 4.9 percent. less.
