Text from 2015. Laws, rates and prices may have changed since then. Ask an agent
Another town worth considering when analysing the Silesian property market is Będzin. The town lies in the centre of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, one of the most important cultural, scientific and economic centres in Poland. Thanks to the many attractions for residents and its proximity to Katowice, Będzin is counted among the places worth living in.
The town is administratively divided into eight districts: Grodziec, Gzichów, Ksawer, Łagisza, Małobądz, Śródmieście and Warpie. The average price of a house in Będzin in 2014 was about PLN 455,859, but as we will see later in this article, in 2015 the average house price is already at a higher level. The average price per square metre in Będzin, meanwhile, is about PLN 2,994.
However, the town alone is not everything. When analysing the property market in Będzin, I will also take into account the areas that belong to Będzin County. So besides Będzin, I will also consider where it is worth buying a house or plot in the following urban municipalities: Czeladź, Sławków, Wojkowice and Siewierz, and the rural municipalities of Bobrowniki, Mierzęcice and Psary.
In which districts of Będzin is it worth buying a house?
It is best to start looking at listings in Małobądz, where the largest and most populous residential estate in Będzin is located – Syberka. Małobądz is regarded as one of the better residential districts in Będzin, mainly thanks to its excellently developed infrastructure. As for prices, in Małobądz they are fairly high. The cheapest houses in the district can be bought for about PLN 300 thousand, while more expensive but relatively recently built ones cost over PLN 500 thousand.
We will pay considerably less for a house in the Grodziec district. The area, which incidentally is very rich in tourist attractions, has a large number of house listings on both the primary and secondary market. House prices there start from as little as PLN 100 thousand.
An alternative to Grodziec is Gzichów, where we will find not only blocks of flats (four-storey buildings) but also single-family houses. The largest residential estate in Gzichów is Osiedle Zamkowe. Compared with Grodziec, house prices in Gzichów are much higher, but there are quite a few listings for larger buildings. The lowest price for a house in Gzichów is about PLN 185 thousand.
Another district in which we will also find houses for sale is Łagisza, an area counted among the most industrialised in Będzin. The price of a house per square metre varies quite widely, from PLN 2,500 to PLN 5000. It should be noted that in Łagisza house prices are much higher than in the previous two districts.
The last district in Będzin where you might consider buying a house is Warpie. The area, which borders Sosnowiec and Dąbrowa Górnicza, is for the most part characterised by old buildings. It should be noted, however, that since 2008 a modern estate, the so-called Nowe Warpie, has been under construction in the district, with a large number of single-family houses. What are prices like in the Warpie district? Large houses with an area of 180 m2 can be bought for as little as about PLN 150 thousand. The price per square metre in Warpie is very low, and can start from as little as about PLN 800/m2.
How have average asking prices of houses on the secondary market, with an area of 100 to 160 m2, developed in recent years in Będzin and other cities of the Silesian agglomeration? (PLN/m2)

Where in Będzin County is it worth buying a house?
As I mentioned earlier, the analysis will also cover places belonging to Będzin County. So where will we find plenty of houses for sale? First of all in Czeladź, which borders not only Będzin but also Katowice, Sosnowiec and Siemianowice Śląskie. The town stands out for its good location and its many historic monuments and cultural and sports centres. The average price per square metre is PLN 2485, and for a house PLN 150 thousand. Of course, the price will depend most on the total area of the house, which the table below illustrates well.

| Number of rooms | Average price |
| 1 | 90 thousand PLN |
| 2 | 120 thousand PLN |
| 3 | 170 thousand PLN |
| 4 | 215 thousand PLN |
| 5 | 490 thousand PLN |

If we do not find anything of interest in Czeladź, it is worth looking at listings in Wojkowice. The average property price is PLN 2,297/m2, while the average price of a house stands at PLN 281 thousand. Although statistically Wojkowice may seem a more expensive town, this is not the case at all. It should be noted that in Wojkowice buying a property with a larger area proves more cost-effective than a smaller one, as the table below shows.
Average property price in Wojkowice depending on the number of rooms in 2015
| Number of rooms | Average price |
| 2 | 125 thousand PLN |
| 3 | 160 thousand PLN |
| 4 | 359 thousand PLN |
| 5 | 315 thousand PLN |

And what about the rural municipalities? Is it worth considering buying a property in those places? Bobrowniki should certainly be taken into account. A section of the A1 motorway runs through this village in Będzin County, and the whole municipality has a well-developed transport network. The average price of a house per square metre in Bobrowniki is about PLN 2,100, and the total cost of a house is about PLN 310 thousand. Most of the listings here are for large properties.
The situation is similar in Mierzęcice. As in Bobrowniki, most of the listings here are for larger houses. The average property price is about PLN 295 thousand.
The most expensive properties are sold in Psary, as the average price per square metre is about PLN 3,400, and the total price about PLN 475 thousand. The listings are not very varied; most of them are for large houses, hence the higher averages.
| Name | Average price (PLN/m2) | Average house price (PLN) |
| Bobrowniki | 2,100 | 310,000 |
| Mierzęcice | 2,300 | 295,000 |

Another town, very attractive to live in, is Sławków. The area is very wooded, as forests make up as much as 35% of the town. Incidentally, this figure is 6% higher than the national average. Many tourist trails run through Sławków, and the town has good transport links both within the town and with other places. The average price of plots in Sławków is PLN 65/m2.

We will pay the most for a plot in the rural municipality of Bobrowniki, at PLN 86/m2.
