Stabilization and high supply — what do the latest transactions say?

• Q3 2025 brought a year-over-year increase in available rental listings (+6%), which translated into heightened competition among landlords and more stable rent levels.
• The median rental rent held at around PLN 2,600, with studio apartments averaging roughly PLN 2,000, one-bedroom units (two rooms) PLN 2,555–2,800, and two-bedroom units (three rooms) about PLN 3,600.

• In new central developments, rents can reach as high as PLN 3,800.
• Compared with Q3 2024, when prices rose 3% year over year, the current rent levels indicate stabilization — there were no typical September increases linked to students returning, and more favorable offers appeared for tenants.
• In Q2 2025, average rates were similar to current levels; the transition between quarters did not bring a seasonal “peak,” which is confirmed by transactional data and industry portal analyses.

Demographic changes and the number of transactions

• The share of foreign students in Poznań’s rental market is declining — due to visa restrictions and concerns related to international instability — which partly limits the number of new lease agreements.
• More young people are opting to share apartments to reduce costs, resulting in fewer individual transactions despite more tenants per unit.
• Negative natural population growth, the migration of educated people to larger metropolitan areas, and a lower inflow of new residents have a long-term effect of curbing the growth rate of demand and the number of finalized leases.
• In Q3 2025, despite a record number of available rental apartments, the number of signed contracts was as much as 10% lower than a year earlier.

Segmentation and local trends

• The highest rents persist in the very center (Stare Miasto, Śródka), mid-range in semi-central districts (Jeżyce, Grunwald, Wilda), and the cheapest offers appear on the outskirts, where the number of new developer projects is growing, particularly attractive for families.
• Despite the slowdown in rent growth dynamics, rental investment yields remain attractive (approx. 4.8–6%) thanks to competitive rent levels and relatively high demand among professionals and people relocating to Poznań.

Conclusions — what’s next for Poznań’s rental market?

• 2025 brings price stabilization, greater predictability, and increased tenant activity — landlords are negotiating more often and upgrading the standard of their units.
• In the longer term, adapting to demographic changes will be key, as their effects will shape demand for units of different sizes and standards.
• For investors, Poznań remains a promising market, and the stabilization of rates along with the professionalization of rental services supports safe capital allocation into real estate.
