In 2025, the transaction prices of these new Prague flats at first sale rose by 12.4% y-o-y. Compared to the beginning of this time series of Flat Zone, i.e. compared to the first quarter of 2023, the prices of these Prague apartments in first sale in the fourth quarter of 2025 were 10.3% higher , i.e. in absolute value by approximately 16 thousand EUR.

Note

Realized prices. New apartments - these are the first sales.
In the case of Flat Zone's data, these are transaction prices for first sales of new flats in the (developer-client) relationship at the time of sale.
In the case of CSO data, it is a weighted average of partial results for Prague.
The methodology of the data is therefore different, which causes differences in the dynamics and level of the time series, especially in the short term.

Stronger household incomes outpaced house price growth for six quarters
Jaromír Šindel 31. 03. 2026

According to the CSO statistics, property prices, which include land and family houses, rose by 2% quarter-on-quarter in the final quarter of 2025. This slowed from the previous average 2.6% increase in the previous four quarters. Although the income side of demand is still lagging, real household incomes accelerated more sharply at 1.4% q-o-q (up nearly 3% in nominal terms) at the end of last year. And so did the household savings rate, which rose to 19.7%. Moreover, both figures were positively revised and there was a slight positive revision to GDP growth in the final quarter of 2025, albeit with more limited effects on the economic outlook.

Higher house prices spark richer debate over central bank macroprudential policy than first appears
15. 12. 2025

Comment by Jaromír Šindel, Chief Economist of the CBA: According to the Czech Statistical Office, realised prices of older flats in the Czech Republic rose by 3.7% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter, which exceeds income growth for the seventh quarter already and maintains the too brisk annual pace of property prices at around 16%. Higher property prices are also making their way into the CNB's macroprudential capital policy settings, with discussion over the (arguably unscary) possible introduction of a sectoral systemic buffer, as well as less intuitive discussions over the role of investment activity by non-financial corporates in setting the countercyclical capital buffer.

Slight recovery in disposable income was enough for stronger consumption and higher savings, but not for more expensive real estate
01. 10. 2025

Comment by Jaromír Šindel, Chief Economist of the CBA: The recovery in disposable income in Q2 was still dampened by fiscal policy, so it remained weaker compared to the increase in wages and property prices. Nevertheless, households managed to increase both consumption and their savings.

Realised house prices maintained a strong pace in the second quarter
14. 09. 2025

Economic commentary by Jaromír Šindel, Chief Economist of the CBA: I estimate overall growth in realised house prices of 4.2% quarter-on-quarter, which has outpaced wage growth for the sixth quarter in a row.
