How much apartment does 600,000 PLN buy in Poland's largest cities?

Methodology

  • Apartment sales from the Polish Real Estate Price Register (RCN, published by GUGiK; free since 13 February 2026): market sales of full ownership only, implausible prices removed.
  • 12-month window ending at the newest deed published in each city – counties publish with different delays.
  • Weekly open data for all cities (CSV, CC BY 4.0) is on GitHub: poland-housing-prices.
