Polish developers show caution regarding housing price increases

According to the October Developer Sentiment Index by Tabelaofert, Polish housing developers are becoming increasingly cautious about raising property prices. While sales in the third quarter of 2026 showed significant recovery, with 12,900 new homes sold across the seven largest markets, this growth has not translated into higher price expectations.

Data indicates that only 16.4 percent of surveyed developers expect price increases in October, a decrease from 20.2 percent in September. The vast majority, approximately 78 percent, anticipate that current price levels will remain stable. This trend contrasts with buyer sentiment, as 49 percent of potential clients expected price rises in September.

Regarding sales momentum, 55 percent of developers predict that the current pace of sales will be maintained. While nearly 30 percent expect an acceleration, 15 percent foresee a slowdown. Robert Chojnacki, founder of Tabelaofert, noted that the shift in sentiment reflects a realistic recalibration of forecasts following a strong third quarter rather than a sign of market weakness.
