May 2025 brought an unexpected correction in the building plots market. This event makes us consider whether it is just a temporary anomaly or the beginning of a new trend.
The average price of plots dropped to 607 PLN per square meter, which means a decrease of 143 PLN, or nearly 19% compared to April, when the average price was 750 PLN per square meter. There were 120 new plots offered, and total supply increased by 15% month-on-month.
There are three main factors behind the price decline. First, seasonality of the market – May is traditionally a month of increased supply, as owners want to sell plots before the holiday season. Second, macroeconomic factors such as uncertainty regarding government support programs and expectations of further interest rate cuts. Third, local conditions, such as new land development plans and the release of municipal lands, which increase plot availability.
The biggest price drops were recorded in the northern part of Kraków, around Mistrzejowice and Czyżyny, where prices fell by as much as 25%. This is due to a large supply of new areas. In the southern parts of the city, in Swoszowice and Wola Duchacka, the correction was about 15%, which can be considered moderate. Meanwhile, surrounding communes such as Wieliczka and Niepołomice showed relative price stability with a slight decrease of around 10%.
From the buyers’ perspective, the current situation is a good opportunity to negotiate prices even 30% below the asking price. Additionally, the increased supply means a wider choice of locations and the possibility to purchase premium plots at attractive prices. Sellers, on the other hand, should consider pausing sales or adopting aggressive pricing if they want a quick transaction.
Looking at the forecast for the second half of 2025, analysts predict price stabilization at around 650-700 PLN per square meter. In Q4, a return to price growth of 5-10% is expected. Special demand should focus on plots smaller than 1000 m² located close to the city.
The most attractive investment locations include Kraków-Tonie, where a tram line is planned; Mogilany, with good infrastructure and proximity to the city; Zabierzów, with a developing residential zone; prestigious Wielka Wieś; and Skawina, which has high price growth potential.
Strategically, for investors with cash, this is an ideal moment to buy plots. History shows such price corrections last typically two to three months. Those who invest now can expect gains of 20-30% within a year.
