That fact that Polish prices have gone down on average 1 % each month this year is also significant, considering the huge jump in sales and prices still went down, From May to next May will be interesting with this government grant gone. 1 in 4 availed of it last year, and up to 90 % in Warsaw. Should knock down 20% in next 12 months. Considering they have already in the last year up to Feb 2012 gone down 9.9% Warsaw

25% Poznan
32% Lodz
Krakow 13.6%

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

Polish people are fooled into thinking that their Economy is an EU success story.

exactly,,fooled into thinking.
Simple fact like this below
Lublin

Apartment (1 bedroom) in City Centre 307.57 €

Median Monthly Disposable Salary (After Tax) 511.96 €

Krakow
Median Monthly Disposable Salary (After Tax) 619.00 €
Apartment (1 bedroom) in City Centre 369.84 €

Birmingham
Rent Per Month [Edit] Avg.
Apartment (1 bedroom) in City Centre 687.63 €
Median Monthly Disposable Salary (After Tax) 1,739.81 €

Belfast
Apartment (1 bedroom) in City Centre 457.29 €
Median Monthly Disposable Salary (After Tax) 1,875.38 €

Just proves why Poland has mass emigration and why it has a quickly shrinking population
and things are not getting better

Yes they have. Reas is showing a 22% fall in Trojmiasto since 2008.

Yes,it's funny how people are still claiming that prices are not going down. The thing is,some people just don't want to believe in the objective truth.

The above simply verifies that Poland is suffering compare to other countries,,,and by no stretch of the imagination is it booming...Growing after 1989,yes there is no famine,I admit.

First of all the topic is about Prices going down, and yes they are.
In relation to rent and cost in Poland ,this link provides the facts. Makes sh1t of the spin that the developer's wife is trying to put on it.

I think its infrastructure related. The Poles have got so used to having terrible roads they automatically gravitate towards towns.

And also the price of petrol, in relation to context, imagine the situation in England if petrol was 3-4 time more expensive!! They wouldn't be trying to get out of the cities then.

If you are on an average wage of 2000 zloty a month and driving 20 km to work in the city , I reckon you may have serious economical problems. That is why people choose cage like apartments in the cities. Inhumane but practical.

The prices dont drop so much outside the city, anyway,,its nowhere near 50%. Maybe outside the main cities in Poland A.

I'm thinking where the hell did these chaps get that kind of money from?

My family here in Poland took a loan out to pay. No mystery.

Property prices are falling becuase banks are not giving mortgages.

yes, but this is partly because a lot of purchasing was done with cash earned abroad, so the bank didn't need to fork out money or as much money.

I know several people who have bought recently with money they have saved or their parents give them. Parents are in a position of owning their homes (free/cheap in the communist era) and having highish wages.

and so do I,but what else could explain the 200-300% jump in prices 2004-07,at the same time as EU enlargement...Is there another argument to replace mine.

Who decides what is fair market value? 2000PLN for 25m2 sounds excessive to me. Are students in Poland richer than here in the UK because there's no student I know that could afford paying the UK equivalent of 2000PLN a month to rent a bachelor pad for themself.

I would like to hear more people to try and attempt answering the above question. I've thrown in my view numerous time. In Ireland alone between 2004-07, 7billion was sent back home mainly for the purchase of property.

The property buying section of the population is basically equal to the age group that are emigrating, 7 million. Subtract the amount abroad , the amount who aren't(abroad) and unemployed or who are on minimum wage(2 euro Hour).

You will find that Poles abroad are the main reason for pushing up the prices.

In other former Eastern Blocks like Czech republic were wages are higher and property prices are significantly lower,the only answer for this is that Czechs are staying at home and prices reflect that.

To say the Poles abroad are earning very little, is nonsense, especially during the 2004-07 period, were people on buildings were taking home 1000 euros a week,,ten time the wage of unskilled work in Poland. I knew Poles back home who earned more in 3 months in Ireland than 12 months in Poland.

People on here are convinced that the Pole abroad are not the reason for the 300% rise in property prices, but Polish wages since 2004?? how much did they go up....how could low interest rates encourage someone on 130 euro a week in Poland take out a mortgage of 75000 euro,,it doesn't add up.

I guess I must be stupid.

No, just so deeply involved in the racket that you can't see the forest because of the trees.

buying residential property which you don't need in a place where there is shortage of it, is exploitation.

I would agree with this statement. It may be the norm but that doesn't make it right.

A piece of property in a place where property is getting in short supply is not the same.

Well said. Neo-liberal economics and its parasitic followers(and their wives) are what created all this sh1t to begin with

So, you're not going to build anything yourself? You're going to buy what you don't need in order to make money off of someone else's need to live under a roof?

I guess you're in that group of people who don't care how they make money, as long as they make it.

You hit the nail on the head there.

Is this a misprint, in relation to rent and property prices per meter squared?? Rent so low and prices so high, maybe down to absolute lack of development.

Real Estate / Thinking of buying an offplan Luxury Property Wroclaw [79]

Not buying anything at the moment unless I estimate I'd lose the same or less per year on the flat's value than I do in ren

My exact philosophy.

Its not a gamble if you get the price you want. Not everything is about property speculation.

Buy, buying something that has yet to exist is pure speculation, for example in a block near me, people who bought off-plan last year for 45000 m2, would pay 3500m2.

So it is speculation no matter which way you look at it.

News / Poland's Economy Is Booming! The EU's Success Story? [711]

No I'm claiming that Poland has by far the highest emigration in Europe, because of the disastrous economical situation in the country, that forces people to emigrate. The heading of thread states Poland is booming,that is a complete nonsense. A country with mass emigration could hardly be doing well never mind booming.My link posted above make this quite clear.
