Every city needs its own reading: price, commute, the nearest street, services, greenery and the zoning plan should be assessed together.
How mScanner helps compare apartment prices
mScanner combines the price map, saved flats, the area report and your criteria. That lets you check whether an offer looks sensible relative to the location, not just relative to the city average.
In practice the specific address matters most: the nearest street, transport access, the services around it and any planning constraints.
Asking prices vs transaction prices
Transaction prices help you understand the levels at which sales actually happened. They do not replace a valuation, but they are an important reference point in a conversation about price.
The price per square metre alone will not show whether an offer makes sense. The street, the surroundings, the commute, the building condition and how it compares with other flats you are considering all count.
Why the price per m² alone is not enough
Two offers at a similar price can look completely different once you check the commute, noise, greenery, the zoning plan, services and the nearest street.
That is why comparing several addresses should also cover the route to work, school, services and the places that matter to the household.
What else is worth checking before buying a flat
Before deciding, it is worth checking the address report, the city heatmap, prices nearby, the zoning plan, noise, greenery and basic services. mScanner brings these together in one analysis process.
- whether the location fits your daily routes
- whether the price makes sense relative to the area and standard
- whether there are services, greenery and transport nearby
- whether the surroundings carry risks that are easy to miss during a viewing
How to read a price sensibly
A price is best read together with the address, the standard of the flat, the commute and the immediate area. A single city-wide average can be misleading, which is why in mScanner you start from the place you are actually considering.
Frequently asked questions
Does mScanner show transaction prices for flats in Poland?
In mScanner you can check the price map for a chosen location. The most practical analysis starts from a specific address, not from a single city-wide average.
Where should I start when checking the price of a flat?
First compare the price with similar flats and the location, then check the commute, surroundings, noise, greenery and the zoning plan. Only that picture says more than the price per m² alone.
Is the price per m² alone enough to choose a flat?
No. The price should be set against the commute, surroundings, noise, greenery, services, the zoning plan and how well the location fits your criteria.
How much does a square metre of a flat cost?
It depends on the city, district and market — the median primary-market asking price per m² differs between cities by several to a dozen-plus thousand PLN/m². Above you will find a comparison of median PLN/m² for cities with data; pick a city to see the current price per square metre.
