Poland’s residential developers are entering the final quarter of 2026 with stronger sales momentum, as improving buyer activity feeds through to the primary housing market. Preliminary Otodom estimates indicate that around 13,000 new homes were sold across the country’s seven largest metropolitan markets in Q3, taking nine-month transactions to roughly 37,000, around 48% more than a year earlier.
ATAL provides one of the clearest examples of acceleration. The developer contracted 644 homes in Q1 and reported 908 in Q2 before reaching 996 in Q3. September alone produced a company record of 431 agreements. Across the first nine months, contracting reached 2,563 units, with another 358 active reservations recorded at the end of September.
Marvipol Development operates at a smaller scale but also improved during the third quarter. It sold 162 residential and commercial units worth PLN 139 million, compared with 273 units during the first half. Nine-month sales consequently reached 435 units with a combined value of PLN 364.1 million. The company also handed over 81 units during Q3.
Other large developers entered the second half from relatively strong positions. ROBYG contracted around 1,280 units during H1, 25% more than a year earlier, including approximately 660 in Q2. Develia sold 860 homes in Q1 and 892 in Q2, taking its first-half total to 1,752, while sales had increased to 2,306 units by the end of August.
Murapol’s performance was more mixed. The group recorded 1,330 development and preliminary agreements during the first six months, while its broader retail-sales measure reached 1,569 units after including paid reservations. Demand remained concentrated towards more affordable housing, with 76% of its first-half sales involving properties priced below PLN 600,000. Lokum, although operating at a much smaller scale, signed 101 agreements during H1, 55% more than a year earlier.
The company results coincide with improving market-wide transaction activity after developers entered 2026 with substantial unsold inventory. Around 37,000 homes were sold across the seven largest metropolitan markets during the first nine months, according to preliminary Otodom estimates. Individual company comparisons nevertheless require caution because developers use different definitions for contracted sales, reservations and completed transactions.
The emerging picture is therefore one of a Polish primary housing market gaining momentum rather than a uniform recovery across every developer and city. Stronger contracting at several major groups and higher market-wide transactions suggest that demand has moved materially above 2025 levels, while affordability, product mix and location continue to determine where buyers are most active. Further Q3 disclosures from the listed developers will show whether the stronger summer sales continued across the wider sector as it entered the final months of 2026.
