Mikołów, a town in the southern part of the Upper Silesian Industrial Region, is another place worth considering when it comes to investing in property. Mikołów borders larger towns, Katowice and Tychy, and has plenty of forested land, as well as industrial, educational and cultural centres. All of this adds up to a high level of attractiveness for the place.
Besides Mikołów, the property market analysis will also cover the towns of Mikołów County, namely the following urban municipalities: Łaziska Górne and Orzesze, and the rural municipalities of Ornontowice and Wyry.
In which districts of Mikołów is it worth buying a house?
I will begin my analysis with a general description of the property market in Mikołów. The current average property price in the town is PLN 2,962/m2, having generally followed a downward trend in recent months. For example, in July this year (2015), the average price of a property was almost PLN 200 higher.
It should also be noted that the average price per square metre in Mikołów is not uniform, as it ranges from PLN 2,393/m2 to PLN 3,568/m2, depending on the size of the property and the district in which we plan to buy a house. The average price of a house, meanwhile, stands at PLN 487,344. Most of the houses on offer in Mikołów have an area of more than 180 m2. So what is the situation in the individual districts of Mikołów?
The town centre and the area around the market square are always places where many people would like to live. Most buyers value a good location, easy access to shopping centres and proximity to public transport. Not everyone, however, enjoys the hustle and bustle of the city, or reacts enthusiastically to the larger events regularly organised by the town authorities. The Centre has its own particular charm, but what is the property market like in this area?
The average price of a house in the Centre is about PLN 544,500, for a house with an area of about 200 m2. It is harder to pin down an average price per square metre in the Centre, as prices are quite varied, but they generally start at PLN 2650. It is therefore nothing out of the ordinary that the cost of a property in the Centre district differs from the town's average price. Unfortunately, you have to pay more for the prestige of the place.
Compared with house prices in the Centre, however, property costs in the Kamionka district are considerably higher. It is worth noting, though, that Kamionka is a place very much appreciated by the residents of Mikołów. The area usually comes near the top of rankings of the best districts.
The average price per square metre in Kamionka is as much as PLN 3,918/m2, while the average cost of a house is PLN 623,775. The average area of the houses on offer in Kamionka is about 159 m2.
We will pay much less for a house in the Ręgielowiec district, where the average cost per square metre is PLN 2140. Most of the listings in this area are for large buildings, with an area of 301 m2, which cost PLN 645,467 on average. Ręgielowiec is regarded as a quiet and peaceful district, from which it is easy to reach both the Centre and larger cities of Upper Silesia, such as Katowice, Tychy, Rybnik or Gliwice.

Where in Mikołów County is it worth buying a house?
Besides Mikołów, Mikołów County also includes the towns of Łaziska Górne and Orzesze, and the villages of Ornontowice and Wyry. Is it worth investing in a house in these areas?
Two localities right next to Mikołów are Łaziska Górne and Orzesze. The average property price in Łaziska is PLN 2,675/m2, and the average cost of a house is PLN 370,272. The average area of a house sold in Łaziska Górne is 138 m2. Most of the listings are for houses with four to six rooms.
The situation in Orzesze is different: the houses on offer are cheaper and larger, as the average area of a house sold there is 198 m2. The average property price per square metre is PLN 2,021, and the average cost of a house is PLN 400,333. What is the situation in the rural municipalities?
In Ornontowice the average price per square metre is PLN 3,176, the total cost of a property is PLN 443,233 on average, and the area is 139 m2.

As we can see, prices in Mikołów County vary greatly. If we want a property with a larger area, it is worth browsing house listings in Orzesze or Wyry. If, on the other hand, we prefer smaller but somewhat cheaper buildings, we will find our dream house much more quickly in Łaziska Górne or Ornontowice.

In which districts of Mikołów is it worth buying a plot of land?
Before going into detail on the districts in which buying a plot pays off, I will start with a general analysis of average plot prices in Mikołów. The average price of a plot per square metre is PLN 158, and the area sold is 1,702 m2 on average. The average cost of a plot is PLN 269,080.
The cheapest plots can be found in the Goj district. The average price per square metre is PLN 113, and the area sold is 1100 m2 on average. The Goj district is regarded by many residents as calm and quiet. Another advantage of living there is the good transport connection with Katowice, Tychy, Gliwice, Zabrze and Ruda Śląska.
We will pay the most in the Kałuże district, as much as PLN 186 per square metre. Why such a price? Kałuże is located very close to the Centre, which is undoubtedly an advantage for many people. If, on the other hand, we want to buy the largest possible plot, it is worth looking at listings in Kamionka, as the average area of a building plot sold in this area is 2,500 m2.
