Morizon-Gratka Group has published the first edition of its "Consumer Sentiment Barometer for the Property Market", a quarterly index measuring how consumers feel about the Polish property market. The barometer scored 66 points on a 100-point scale, placing it in positive territory above the neutral threshold of 50 points. The survey was conducted at the end of Q2 2026 and gathered responses from nearly 9,000 people active in the property market.

Bucharest's residential market recovered much of the ground lost after a weak start to 2026, ending the first half with apartment transactions down just 2% year-on-year, according to Colliers. Developers are also accelerating preparations for new projects, with the net floor area authorised for residential buildings in Bucharest increasing 3.6-fold in the first five months — the strongest pace in five years. Nationwide, however, apartment sales fell 9%, reflecting continued caution amid inflation, high financing costs and pressure on real incomes. Trends varied across regional cities: Cluj-Napoca recorded a 16% fall in transactions and Iași dropped 11%, while Timișoara posted a modest 3% increase.

The Duna House monthly transaction estimate and mortgage forecast shows that 11,554 residential properties changed hands across Hungary in March 2026, while residential mortgage contract values reached €240 million.

Poland's property investment market demonstrated stability in the first three quarters of 2025, with total transaction volume reaching €2.6 billion across 105 deals, closely matching 2024 results. Polish capital gained momentum, representing 23% of total investment volume compared to 10% in the same period last year, capitalising on pricing opportunities while core capital remained cautious with only two transactions exceeding €100 million, Avison Young reports.
