How to read transaction prices for flats in Tricity
A city-wide price is only a starting point — in Tricity the real level depends on the district, the street and the standard of the specific building.
When comparing, it is worth looking at specific areas, including Gdańsk Śródmieście, Główne Miasto, Młode Miasto, Wrzeszcz, Oliwa, Przymorze, Zaspa, Żabianka, Jasień and Morena. The city name alone is not enough, because the gaps between addresses can be wider than between districts.
A transaction price is a reference point
A transaction price shows what similar flats actually changed hands for. You still have to check whether you are comparing a similar standard, floor area, building and location.
When assessing an offer, check:
- the link to the SKM, the PKM, the trams or the last leg from the station
- seasonality and short-term rentals by the sea and in the city centres
- the gap between Gdańsk, Sopot, Gdynia and the axis extending through Rumia, Reda and Wejherowo
- noise near the railway, the main roads and the airport
- parking, paid zones and the commute between the cities
