Krakow Property Prices, Rents & Rental Yields

About Krakow

Kraków, the historic heart of Małopolskie voivodeship, combines a large academic base, a strong cultural identity, and a compact urban core shaped by heritage and steady regeneration. Its apartment market sits at the intersection of long-standing city appeal and evolving investment pricing.

July 2026 brings the clearest signal: prices are still edging higher, but rental growth is doing most of the work in supporting returns. The average apartment sale price reached 806,790 zł, while the average price per square metre stood at 15,840 zł, both posting modest month-on-month increases of 0.1% and 0.2%. That points to a market moving forward, but only gradually.

The tension for investors is that rents are rising faster than sale values in the short term, yet they remain lower than a year ago. The average rent price increased to 2,950 zł in July, up 1.7% from the previous month, but still down 1.7% year on year. As a result, the yield sits at 5.03%, which suggests Kraków is still delivering a workable income profile even as acquisition costs continue to firm. Over the past 12 months, the average sale price rose 0.5% and the average m2 price increased 2.3%, reinforcing the view of a market with restrained capital appreciation and a careful balance between pricing and income.
