Czech Real Estate Market
The Czech Republic's housing market is expected to remain tight in the coming years. House prices are projected to continue rising strongly, as demand continues to outstrip supply. The average price of apartments in the Czech Republic surged by 8.75% (6.21% inflation-adjusted) during the year to Q3 2018, after y-o-y rises of 8.06% in Q2 2018, 7.57% in Q1 2018, 8.42% in Q4 2017 and 12.53% in Q3 2017, according to the European Central Bank (ECB).
Demand has been driven mainly by migration within the country and strong demand for prime properties by foreigners; demand for investment properties is also believed to play a significant role," according to a 2018 report released by the International Monetary Fund (IMF).
Residential construction activity is increasing rapidly, but is still below peak levels.
