Poznan for investors

Poznan is a market for steady rental income rather than fast growth: transaction prices rise moderately, students and professionals drive rental demand, and unemployment is among the lowest in Poland.

Real estate market

Average transaction price per sqm according to NBP for Q2 2026: 10,891 PLN on the secondary market and 12,766 PLN for new builds. Year on year (Q2 2025 → Q2 2026) secondary prices rose 4.0% and new-build prices 2.3%. Growth is not guaranteed: in Q2 2025 secondary prices were 2.0% lower than a year earlier.

Rental returns

A studio rents for about 2,110 PLN/month and a 2-room flat (40–59 sqm) for about 2,700 PLN (Otodom, June 2026, excluding service charge and utilities). Our calculation: a 30 sqm studio bought for ~360,000 PLN yields about 7% gross, a 50 sqm 2-room flat at the NBP price (~545,000 PLN) about 6%. After the 8.5% lump-sum tax, vacancy and repairs, net yield is usually 4–5%.

Labour market

Registered unemployment in Poznan was 1.4% at the end of December 2025 (GUS; Poland: 5.7%). According to Poznan City Hall, more than 100,000 students study in the city, which keeps rental demand steady.

According to NBP, in Q2 2026 the average transaction price in Poznan was 10,891 PLN/sqm on the secondary market and 12,766 PLN/sqm for new builds, up 4.0% and 2.3% year on year. A studio rents for about 2,110 PLN/month and a 2-room flat for 2,700 PLN (Otodom, June 2026, excluding service charge and utilities). That gives about 6–7% gross and 4–5% net after the 8.5% lump-sum tax and vacancy. This is our calculation on average prices, not a promised return on a specific flat. Unemployment of 1.4% (GUS, December 2025) and more than 100,000 students support rental demand. We update these figures after each quarterly NBP report.

"Poznan is not a fast-growth market but a steady rental one: we calculate returns for a specific flat, not from averages."

Upside

Why invest in Poznan

Growing market

Transaction prices year on year: +4.0% on the secondary market and +2.3% for new builds (NBP, Q2 2026 vs Q2 2025). Moderate growth, no overheating.

Student market

More than 100,000 students (Poznan City Hall) create demand for studios and rooms. A studio rents for about 2,110 PLN/month (Otodom, June 2026), about 7% gross at a ~360,000 PLN purchase price.

Entry price

A 50 sqm flat at the average secondary-market transaction price (10,891 PLN/sqm, NBP, Q2 2026) costs about 545,000 PLN before PCC and notary fees. A new build of the same size costs about 640,000 PLN including VAT.

Risks and specifics

What to weigh up

Taxes

Property tax in Poznan in 2026 is 1.25 PLN/m² a year, not a percentage of value: 62.50 PLN for 50 m². Rental: since 2023 private rental is taxed only by lump sum — 8.5% of revenue up to 100,000 PLN a year and 12.5% above that, with no cost deduction. VAT: 8% from a developer for units up to 150 m² and houses up to 300 m², 23% above the limit. The purpose of the purchase does not change the rate. Buying as a foreigner? Reliefs and PIT-39: taxes and fees.

Management

For foreign investors, managing property can be difficult. Property management companies usually cost 5-10% of rent.

Risks

Dependence on the student market causes seasonal demand swings. Regular repairs and maintenance are required. Competition with new projects.
