Regional real estate market trends

Overview

The real estate markets in Lithuania and Poland have shown varying levels of activity and price trends throughout late 2026.

In Lithuania, the market experienced a slowdown in transaction volume following a busy summer, a trend attributed to seasonal fluctuations. While transaction numbers decreased, property prices remained high, though experts noted that recent double-digit annual increases were unsustainable. In Vilnius, demand was concentrated on economy-class and affordable housing, with development expanding into areas like Pilaitė and Pašilaičiai.

By October, data from Poland indicated a resurgence in market activity. New apartment searches increased by 40 percent compared to the previous year. While sales outpaced new listings, annual price growth in the seven largest cities stabilized at under 10 percent. Despite this activity, financing accessibility remains a challenge, and reports have highlighted the impact of commuting costs on buyer well-being.
