This paper investigates residential mobility in Poland. The main focus is placed on determining the level of housing mobility in Poland, as well as finding statistically significant differences between various socio-economic groups. The research was based on microdata from the 2017 wave of the Household Finance and Consumption Survey (HFCS). The findings indicate that residential mobility in Poland was relatively low in comparison to other European Union member states, and there were statistically significant differences in housing mobility based on age, tenure status, income, wealth, level of education and the household’s composition. The study concludes that improving housing affordability is crucial for enhancing housing mobility in Poland.

The article contains an overview of the housing situation in Poland in three dimensions: the availability of housing, the capacity to buy or rent a dwelling and the quality of housing standards in the context of the national and local housing policies. It begins with an assessment of the scale and dynamics of residential investment in Poland over the last 30 years. In the next part, the author estimates the economic return on housing investments, stressing that expectations as to the growth of housing prices in Poland are the key determinant of investment decisions. As the analysis shows, the promotion of housing ownership has had negative social effects and, with temporarily cheap and available money, has fuelled the growth of housing prices.

In this article the authors analyse the rise of house flipping in Poland in recent years. Firstly, drawing on the findings from desk research and qualitative inquiries, they describe how state-of-the-art flipping transactions are performed and financed. Secondly, with the use of a large microdata panel of housing transactions from eight major cities over the 2006–2020 period, the size and the main characteristics of house flipping in Poland are analysed. According to the findings, the share of flips in housing transactions gradually increased between 2016 and 2020, reaching on average 5.9% and – in some smaller cities with a shallow primary market – even double-digit shares. This is an alarming result, as such high flippers’ activity characteries periods of housing booms and may signal an overvaluation of prices.

The article provides an overview of the housing policy in Poznań. It begins with a discussion of the importance of dwellings in contemporary society. The second section focuses on the main assumptions of the housing policy in Poland and the tools that can be used on the level of local government units. Next, the authors present the current state of the housing market in Poznań. In order to provide deeper insight, the analysis is based on data spanning over a 6-year period using both quantitative and qualitative methods. In the final two sections, the implementation of the city’s housing policy is discussed. The authors argue that the overall effects of Poznań’s housing policy are positive, but serious challenges lie ahead.

The article examines the effect of government mandated minimum apartment size in Poland, based upon insights from survey questionnaire responses. In 2017, the Minister of Infrastructure and Construction passed a legal requirement for a minimum usable floor area of 25 square metres for new apartments, to take effect at the beginning of 2018. The paper begins with an overview of comparable regulations in selected EU countries. Next, relevant statistical data are examined to assess how this new size requirement, dubbed “lex 25 m2”, has thus far influenced the Polish housing market. The authors then report upon results of a survey conducted between April and June 2023 among 722 students of the SGH Warsaw School of Economics regarding their opinion on this new regulation. Four hypotheses are formulated as to the factors affecting respondents’ views toward “lex 25 m2” requirements for new apartments. The hypotheses are then tested using binary logistic regression. A negative effect of the 2017 regulation was identified on apartment purchases for one’s own purposes, plans to rent an apartment smaller than 25 square metres within the next 12 months, and apartment ownership. The association between the purchase of an apartment smaller than 25 square metres within the next 12 months and the attitude towards “lex 25 m2” was not statistically significant. The last section concludes with policy recommendation that apartments smaller than 25 square metres should be allowed to be built in Poland with the requirement of minimum usable area for new apartments reduced to 19–20 square metres.
