The year 2025 confirmed the continued recovery and growth of the Czech real estate market following relatively stable previous years. Positive developments were evident both in prices and demand, while the rental segment remained one of the fastest-growing sectors.

Growth in Property Prices

Prices of apartments and other residential properties rose significantly across the country. According to various market indices:

• Average property prices grew at double-digit rates – around 10% year-on-year in Q3 2025.

• Apartment prices in larger cities, including Prague, increased by more than 13% year-on-year in Q2 2025.

• Smaller regions also recorded growth, with considerable variability between individual locations.

Rental Market Remains Strong

Rents increased by approximately 12.4% between November 2024 and November 2025. Supply fell by 17%, and the average occupancy period shortened to 26 days – the fastest pace since 2018. Pressure on both supply and demand continues to intensify.

Investment Activity and Demand

Investment activity was strong again in 2025:

• Increased interest in residential projects,

• The return of investors to segments that had previously stagnated,

• Long-term, stable demand across economic cycles.
