Czech Residential Property Prices Set New Records in Q3 2026

Buying a home in Czechia became more expensive in the third quarter of 2026. Prices reached new highs across apartments, detached houses and building plots. The rise was not equally strong across all three segments, though. Building plots recorded the biggest annual increase, while apartment prices grew at a slower quarterly pace.

Apartment prices were 9.3% higher than a year earlier. Detached houses recorded an increase of 8.4%. For residential plots, the annual rise reached 10.5%.

There was a noticeable change in apartment price growth. Prices increased by 1.3% between July and September. The previous quarter had recorded a rise of 2.4%. It was the slowest quarterly increase in more than two years.

The apartment price index reached 275.7 points. Its base value is 100, set in the first quarter of 2010.

The picture also varied from one region to another. Zlín recorded the biggest quarterly increase in apartment prices, at 5.6%. Pardubice followed with a 3.6% rise. In Prague, prices increased by just 0.7%. Central Bohemia and the Liberec Region saw almost no change.

Smaller Apartments Remain in Demand

Smaller apartments continued to attract buyers, particularly in larger cities. One-room and compact units were among the preferred options. Two-room apartments also remained popular with investors.

The detached house market showed little sign of slowing. Prices increased by 2% during the quarter, compared with 1.9% in the previous three months. On an annual basis, the increase stood at 8.4%. The house price index reached 256.7 points.

Residential land was another strong performer. Plot prices rose by 2.6% quarter-on-quarter, up from 2.3% in the second quarter. The index reached 362.2 points.

There were fewer plots available during the period. Supply fell by around 5% compared with the previous quarter. Buyers showed interest in smaller plots of up to 650 square metres, particularly those close to larger cities and with established transport links.

The latest figures show that the Czech housing market is still seeing price increases across its main residential segments. Apartment growth has eased, but that has not translated into falling prices. Houses and building plots have also continued to become more expensive.
