20 cities selected for financial and business significance, geographic coverage and Warsaw relevance. This is not a formal ranking of city importance.
Values are the report’s 2026 column, published on 13 July. Exact observation dates for individual city figures are not supplied. Checking sources in October does not make them October prices.
City-centre boundaries, apartment types and samples can vary. The source relies on contributed data and may contain outliers; use broad comparisons. USD values are copied from the report, so exchange rates also affect comparisons.
Price per m² for a city-centre apartment, as reported in the 2026 edition.
Purchase budget = published price/m² × chosen m². Rent/salary = monthly rent ÷ monthly net salary × 100. No new currency conversion is applied.
The rental and purchase samples do not have matched floor areas. We therefore do not derive a rental yield.
Seoul: deposits and alternative lease structures can materially affect the full cost; the monthly rent benchmark does not reconstruct them.
