The ratio of net sales in August to the offer at the end of August 2011 (on the seven most important markets)
It is worth paying attention to Cracow, Tri-City and Wrocław, markets/ cities where the supply of new flats has largely increased in the last quarters. The offer of flats available there is adjusted to clients’ expectations in respect of price and composition of flats to such extend that the liquidity on those market is high.
The table above also shows places where real-estate developers will not be very willing to start next investments (Łódź, Katowice) as they are observing now a small number of flats sold compared to the ongoing offer. Especially, as the supply of flats in those cities has gone up in the last few months. On the other hand, there are places where supply of new flats increases very fast but demand for them is also high. These will be still attractive areas for real-estate developers’ investments (Wrocław, Cracow), together with the market leader – Warsaw (especially some of its areas like Wola, Białołęka, or Praga Południe).
