Gdańsk and Poland’s place in Europe’s house price growth in 2025-Q4

Poland is above the EU average, and Gdańsk sits inside that story

Poland’s Eurostat house price index reached 220.82 in 2025-Q4 on a 2015=100 base. That puts the country well above the EU27_2020 average of 164.85 and ahead of Germany (153.7) and Austria (169.34). Among the six markets in this comparison, Poland ranks 3rd, behind Hungary (390.47) and Czechia (254.1).

For Gdańsk, the point is not that the city is being measured directly in this index. It is that local transaction pricing is moving inside a country that already sits in the upper tier of European house-price growth. The city’s secondary-market numbers belong to the same national market backdrop that produced Poland’s 220.82 reading.

Poland vs Europe

The comparison table: Poland is not the outlier, but it is clearly above the pack

Poland’s position is straightforward: the index is elevated, but not the highest in the group. The gap to Czechia is sizable, and Hungary is far above everyone else in this table. Even so, Poland remains materially above the EU27 benchmark, which tells you the country’s house-price growth has been stronger than the bloc average over the same base period.

What this means for Gdańsk’s transaction-price backdrop

When readers look at Gdańsk, they are usually trying to understand how local pricing fits into a larger pattern. The answer from this dataset is that Gdańsk is part of a market where national house prices have already climbed to 220.82 on the Eurostat index scale. That matters because city-level transaction prices do not exist in isolation: they sit inside a Polish market that is outpacing the EU average.

The clean takeaway is this:

• Poland’s market level is above the EU27 average.
• Gdańsk’s local transaction prices are part of that higher national setting.
• Poland is not leading this comparison, but it is firmly in the upper half of the group.

If you want to inspect local property-price context around a specific street or district in Gdańsk, use the live price explorer here: /transaction-prices?city=gdańsk. That tool is for street-level or neighbourhood-level transaction-price context, while the Eurostat index here is a national comparison.

Why the ranking matters more than the headline number

A house price index is most useful when you place it beside peer countries. On that measure, Poland’s 220.82 is not a marginal move above the EU average. It is a clear step above it. The spread versus Germany and Austria is also obvious, which helps explain why Poland is read as a stronger growth market than some western peers in this comparison.

At the same time, the table shows Poland is still below Czechia and far below Hungary. So the story is not “Poland is at the top of Europe.” It is more precise than that: Poland is in the higher-growth group, but not the most extreme case.

For Gdańsk, that puts local market chatter into context. A city with active transaction pricing in a country at 220.82 on the index is operating in a market that has already moved well beyond the EU average base line.

Practical takeaway for readers

If you are tracking Gdańsk, use the national index as the frame and the local transaction-price explorer as the microscope. The national data says Poland is ahead of the EU average and several major peers. The city-level data then shows how that broad pressure appears on the ground.

For this period, the main facts are simple: Poland = 220.82, EU27_2020 = 164.85, Germany = 153.7, Austria = 169.34. In European terms, that keeps Poland firmly above the middle of the pack.
