Gdynia’s quarterly price jump stands out
Gdynia moved fast in 2026-Q1. The city’s average transaction price in NBP BaRN came in at 12,357 PLN/m², up 5.76% quarter on quarter. That puts Gdynia among the sharper movers in the 17-city set, and well ahead of several bigger markets that were flatter or even softer over the same period.
The comparison is stark. Warsaw averaged 16,393 PLN/m², but fell 2.2% QoQ. Kraków stood at 15,110 PLN/m² and edged up only 0.31%. Gdańsk was at 13,870 PLN/m², rising 2.62%, while Wrocław reached 12,632 PLN/m² with a 0.69% gain.
What the data says
This is secondary-market pricing, based on transaction data, not developer offers. In practical terms, Gdynia’s Q1 figure tells a simple story: prices moved up faster here than in the better-known large-city benchmarks in the sample.
Q1 2026 snapshot
| City | Price (PLN/m²) | QoQ change |
|---|---|---|
| Warsaw | 16,393 | -2.20% |
| Kraków | 15,110 | 0.31% |
| Gdańsk | 13,870 | 2.62% |
| Wrocław | 12,632 | 0.69% |
| Gdynia | 12,357 | 5.76% |
The city also sits below Gdańsk and Wrocław on the price ladder in this sample, even after the quarter’s jump. That gap matters: Gdynia is still not the most expensive market in the group, but it is one of the quickest climbers.
Gdynia in the regional picture
Gdynia’s result looks more like a breakout quarter than a broad, uniform market swing. The other cities in the sample show mixed momentum: some gained modestly, some moved sideways, and Warsaw pulled back. That mix suggests the quarter was not a simple nationwide lift.
For readers tracking the Tricity area, the contrast with Gdańsk is especially useful. Gdańsk’s average remained higher at 13,870 PLN/m², but its quarterly rise was less aggressive than Gdynia’s. In plain language: Gdynia was catching up faster in Q1, even if it was still below Gdańsk in absolute price.

Developer register entries worth watching
The developer register points to several active names tied to the Gdynia market. These are asking prices for new-build units, so they are a different dataset from the transaction averages above.
Watch these developers for fresh new-build supply and pricing direction:
- Grupa Hossa Spółka Akcyjna
- MARVIPOL GDYNIA PUCKA SPÓŁKA Z OGRANICZONĄ ODPOWIEDZIALNOŚCIĄ
- ACCIONA Nieruchomości sp. z o.o.
- KB COLTEX RECZEK SPÓŁKA JAWNA
- Rubikon Invest sp. z o.o.
Practical takeaway
Gdynia’s Q1 2026 number is not just a high point on a chart. At 12,357 PLN/m², with a 5.76% QoQ rise, it shows a market that moved more quickly than several larger peers in the same quarter. For expats and foreign buyers reading the data cold, the key is to separate the two worlds: secondary-market transaction prices on one side, and developer asking prices on the other.
If you are comparing districts or trying to understand how far a budget goes, use the city chart first, then move to street-level property searches for the exact area you care about.
What to watch next
The next quarterly print will tell us whether Gdynia’s jump was a one-off or part of a broader run. For now, the quarter leaves a clear marker: Gdynia was one of the stronger movers in the 17-city NBP set, even though it remains below Gdańsk and Wrocław in absolute price terms.
