On Wednesday, 21 October 2026, Central Group, Skanska Residential and Trigema presented the Prague housing-market analysis for the third quarter. The average offer price of new flats: 193,814 koruna a square metre. Up three percent on the second quarter, up 12 percent on a year. A market analysis, not a law.

The average selling price: 186,408 koruna a metre. Up two percent quarter on quarter, up ten percent year on year. Two clocks: the offer and the deal. In the second quarter the offer stood at 187,781. Another quarter, another figure.

ČTK: 1,600 new flats sold in the third quarter, down six percent on a year. In nine months: 5,350 new flats, down 11 percent. ČTK says new. Seznam also wrote “starších”. Those two wordings are not mixed here. 2025 was a record year. The developers: demand has sat above the long-run average for eleven quarters, around 1,500 units a quarter.

At the end of September, 7,200 new flats were on offer. Up 12 percent on the quarter, up 26 percent on the year. Prague’s planning institute: 10,000 a year would be needed. A target, not a 2026 fact. Seznam, citing the statisticians: from January to August, 4,848 flats in apartment buildings were permitted, up 26 percent.

Praha 5 and Praha 9: about a quarter each of nine-month sales. 2+kk: 45 percent. 1+kk: more than a quarter. The average offered unit: 11.8 million koruna. Praha 1: over 319,000 a metre. Praha 9 and 10: 170,000–175,000. Dušan Kunovský speaks of 6,700–7,000 for the whole year. An estimate, not a tally.

Banks, January–September: 301.4 billion koruna in new mortgages, 66 billion more than a year earlier. ČBA Hypomonitor: the average rate in September, 5.1 percent. That is not a cap by law. Dump Seznam. The rewrite rests on ČTK.
