When looking through adverts for flats for sale or to rent, you will come across some from the primary property market and some from the secondary market. What is the primary market and is it developing in our country? Find the answer to these and other questions.
What is the primary market?
The primary property market covers transactions involving premises, flats and houses bought directly from developers. This means that they have not previously been used by anyone. A unit in developer's standard (stan deweloperski) is simply an unfinished property. All finishing work on the building, and partly on the interiors, has been completed. The floors, walls and facade are prepared for occupancy. Flats in developer's standard also have ventilation, plumbing and drainage, heating and wiring in place, as well as windows and window sills. Additional renovation work has often been carried out. Properties in developer's standard are often chosen by Poles, among other things because of their price. An additional advantage is the security of the transaction.
Are Poles interested in units in developer's standard?
Many Poles decide to buy a property from the primary market. This solution allows the interior to be finished to one's own taste. In addition, we have a guarantee that the property is in good condition. With this type of transaction we can negotiate the price of the flat, which often brings very good results.
Are new homes being built in Silesia?
Demand for new flats and houses in Silesia continues to grow. That is why new estates of unfinished properties are being built here. These are often very high-standard units – apartments. Developers provide additional amenities such as a balcony, a garage and underground car parks, which make the buildings more attractive.
Types of homes in developer's standard
New buildings often contain flats of various sizes. You can choose between small properties, e.g. studio flats in Katowice, and multi-room flats. Estates of single-family houses are also springing up rapidly. These are mainly two-storey buildings. New estates are often guarded or gated.
New properties are being built in Silesian cities, e.g. in Katowice, Zabrze and Chorzów. Browse the REMAX Gold listings and discover new properties.
