Real Estate / Poland's apartment prices continue to fall [1844]

same here in warsaw residential properties which were/are at sale in wilanow for 7500 pln a sq mtr are negotiated and on promocja are going for 4800pln a sq mtr a drive around there shows how many built flats are unsold as for commercial places they want 8k a sq mtr(shell) plus vat.I cannot understand this market people are asking what they want.There is no rational pricing atleast in commercials which vary from 10k to 25k in centrum.The ROI is varied from 6% to 10% depending on the tenant....lately conv stores like jabka,carefourr exp,fresh point etc properties are poping up at 10% but there leases are holding the owners by there balls so they selling ASAP.

I take pictures in night of the buildings weekly or so and compare how many lights are on thus giving me an approx idea how many flats are sold as developers will never tell you truth. Look what happened at zlota 44 in warsaw where they wanted 30k a sq mtr and claimed 65% sold( last time I heard) now they turning into offices.But still polish real estate market is better then states I feel and more secure.

Travel / Can i enter Poland 2 days before my visa start date? [9]

Point is if they will inform you at the departure what will be the consequences.Atleast the flghts to the usa and to EU the airlines always inform the security and immigration of the arriving country.Usually they will let you know that you will not be allowed in and can travel at your own risk,I know this as a person who had overstayed in usa 5 years back got the visa but on warsaw airport was told that he wont be allowed in he still took the risk and was deported.I also met a couple jordanian man and american woman in copenhagen transit area where the jordanian man was not being allowed to board the flight for 3 days as the us ICE had refused him entry and airline wont fly him,and his american wife was staying with him in the transit area....I always wonder whatever happened to them.

Personally I think driver habbits are changing since then in Poland and are becoming more rational.My guess as from 2000 very few licensed drivers were driving and were young and new on the streets with cars but things are changing very rapidly.I drive around 10k miles almost 16k km a year in since 2000 and find polish road drivers getting more sensible.lol then again i personally love overtaking a slow moving car and esp following a car with cb radio with a tall antenna:)
