Source: REGA Real Estate Indicators platform (Ministry of Justice and Real Estate Registry data), last 12 months (Q3 2025 – Q2 2026). Price per m² is based on the deed area; the average is weighted by deals in quarters where the platform publishes a price (it withholds it when deals are few). A type is shown with at least 20 priced deals; change is versus the previous 12 months under the same rule. (*) Quarterly averages vary widely for this type (the highest quarter is over 40% above the lowest), so the figure is less stable and often reflects the mix of units sold.
