Apartment price history: how not to overpay when renting in Poland

Apartment price history: how not to overpay when renting in Poland

Author: Homerenty

The landlord listed the apartment at 2,800 PLN. Is it worth your attention? It depends on what the price was a month ago. If it was 3,200 PLN — negotiation is appropriate, the owner is willing to meet. If it was 2,500 PLN — the price is rising and you shouldn't wait.

Homerenty shows the price change history directly on the apartment card.

How to read the price history

On the card you see the current price and a change indicator:

  • ↑ increased — the price went up since publication. The listing may have been updated.
  • ↓ decreased — the price dropped. The owner is ready to negotiate.
  • No change — the price has been stable since the listing was posted.

Why to check this before calling

If the price has dropped — the apartment has been listed for several weeks and the owner isn't getting enough responses. This is your leverage: try to negotiate an additional discount or better terms.

If the price went up — either the apartment is in demand and the landlord senses the market, or something was added to the listing (renovation, furniture). It's worth asking what changed.

Tip: in the apartment list, sort by date descending — and look at fresh listings first. Apartments with a reduced price have often been in the database for a while, which also signals the owner is open to discussion.
