Gdynia jumps 5.76% in Q1 2026 as secondary-market prices keep moving

Gdynia’s quarter: a sharp move, not a drift

Gdynia stood out in 2026-Q1. The city’s average transaction price on the secondary market reached 12,357 PLN/m², up 5.76% quarter on quarter in NBP BaRN data. That is a stronger jump than several bigger peers in the same sample, and it puts Gdynia among the more active markets in the group of 17 cities tracked in the dataset.

For context, the same quarter shows Warsaw at 16,393 PLN/m² with a -2.2% quarterly change, Kraków at 15,110 PLN/m² with +0.31%, Gdańsk at 13,870 PLN/m² with +2.62%, and Wrocław at 12,632 PLN/m² with +0.69%. Gdynia sits below Wrocław on price level, but its quarter-on-quarter pace is the standout here.

What the data shows

This is a transaction-price series, not asking prices. It reflects secondary-market averages from notarial deeds, so it is best read as a measure of where closed deals are landing, not where sellers are advertising.

Gdynia and selected cities, 2026-Q1

Gdynia’s quarterly rise is notable because it comes from a relatively mid-range starting point. The city is still cheaper than Gdańsk and much cheaper than Warsaw and Kraków, but the latest move is faster than those larger markets in this sample.

Regional position: close to the Tricity pace, ahead on momentum

Gdynia’s 12,357 PLN/m² places it just below Wrocław’s 12,632 PLN/m² in this quarter’s sample. The gap is not huge. What matters more is the direction: Gdynia’s +5.76% quarterly change is well above the sample cities listed here, including Gdańsk’s +2.62% and Kraków’s +0.31%.

That makes Gdynia the market with the clearest upward move in the set shown here. For readers comparing Tricity cities, the contrast is simple: Gdańsk is pricier, Gdynia moved faster.

Buying-prices context

If you want to explore the city series directly, use the dedicated page for Gdynia buying prices. For nearby transaction-level context, see Property prices near Gdynia. Those pages are better suited to comparing city averages with local deals.

Developer register entries worth watching

The developer register includes several entries tied to Gdynia activity. These are mandatory asking prices for new-build units, so they should not be mixed up with the transaction-price figures above.

The current names to watch are:

• Allcon Osiedla 3 Sp. z o. o.
• ACCIONA Nieruchomości sp. z o.o.
• Cis Park- NDI Chabrowa sp. z o. o.

These developer-register pages are useful for comparing new-build asking prices against the secondary-market averages in the city series. That matters because the two datasets answer different questions: what buyers are paying in recorded deals versus what developers are asking for fresh inventory.

What renters and buyers should take from this quarter

For people tracking Gdynia from the outside, the key point is momentum. The city is not the priciest in the sample, but it posted the strongest quarterly increase among the cities shown here. That kind of move can matter for anyone comparing city averages over time, especially when looking at whether Gdynia is catching up toward the broader Tricity band.

For apartment searchers, the practical move is simple: use the city series for a clean read on average transaction prices, then check the property-price explorer for local context around specific streets or neighbourhoods. That combination gives a better picture than a single city average on its own.

Bottom line

Gdynia’s 2026-Q1 result is a clean signal: 12,357 PLN/m² and +5.76% QoQ. In a sample where Warsaw fell and Kraków barely moved, Gdynia was the strongest riser in the group shown here.
