Bydgoszcz housing prices rose 3.85% quarter on quarter in Q2 2026

Bydgoszcz keeps climbing, but not at Warsaw speed

Bydgoszcz’s secondary-market average reached 8,342 PLN/m² in 2026-Q2, according to NBP BaRN transaction prices. That put the city 3.85% higher quarter on quarter — a solid move, though still modest next to the capital’s price level.

Across the 17-city set in this quarter’s database, Warsaw remained in a different league at 16,723 PLN/m², while Kraków stood at 14,792 PLN/m² and Gdańsk at 14,035 PLN/m². Bydgoszcz sat well below those big-market levels, but its quarterly gain was stronger than several larger coastal and academic markets.

What the quarter shows

Here is the city snapshot for the quarter, using transaction prices from notarial deeds — not asking prices.

The key point is not just the level, but the direction. Bydgoszcz posted one of the clearer quarterly rises among the cities shown in the dataset sample, while Kraków and Wrocław edged lower.

That makes Bydgoszcz a useful middle-market reference point: still far from the top-tier price brackets, but not standing still either.

The local angle: price growth without the metro-premium

Bydgoszcz’s price base remains relatively restrained compared with the big three or the Tricity core. At 8,342 PLN/m², it is less than half of Warsaw’s average and meaningfully below Gdańsk, Kraków, and Wrocław.

That gap matters for readers comparing cities on a budget. A quarterly rise of 3.85% can look sharp in percentage terms, but it is happening from a lower starting point than in Poland’s most expensive markets.

For buyers tracking secondary-market transaction prices, the city’s move suggests steady demand rather than a sudden surge. For renters, it is a reminder that sales-market pressure can still build even when a city remains cheaper than the biggest urban centres.

How Bydgoszcz compares with other tracked cities

Among the sample cities provided for 2026-Q2, the ranking looks like this:

1. Warsaw — 16,723 PLN/m²
2. Kraków — 14,792 PLN/m²
3. Gdańsk — 14,035 PLN/m²
4. Wrocław — 12,590 PLN/m²
5. Gdynia — 12,267 PLN/m²
6. Bydgoszcz — 8,342 PLN/m²

The spread is wide. Bydgoszcz is not competing with the most expensive markets on price level, but the quarter-on-quarter move shows that cheaper cities are not immune to upward pressure.

Developer register entries worth watching

Separate from transaction prices, the developer register shows asking-price activity in the city pipeline. That is a different dataset, but it helps frame what may be coming into the market.

The following developers have open register entries linked to Bydgoszcz-related coverage:

• New City Development spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością spółka jawna
• Moderator Symfonia spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością spółka komandytowa
• Alstal Dom Spółka z o.o.
• PRES Paweł Burdach spółka komandytowa
• AWZ DEWELOPER SP. Z O.O.
• Leszczyńskiego Park spółka z ograniczoną odpowiedzialnością spółka jawna
• Invest Haus Bud sp. z o.o. Sp.K

These are asking prices on the new-build side, so they should not be mixed up with the NBP secondary-market averages above.

Practical takeaway

If you are comparing cities, Bydgoszcz’s Q2 result puts it in a clear value band: lower than Poland’s biggest markets, but moving upward at a pace that deserves attention. The city’s 8,342 PLN/m² average and 3.85% quarterly increase are the numbers to watch this quarter.
