Radom property market guide: prices, rents and yields in 2026

Apartments in Radom averaged €1,724.6/m² in asking prices in Q3 2026 (CASAFARI Area Insights, indexed listings with outliers excluded), up 3.0% year on year and 7.5% since Q2 2025, after a 1.9% dip from Q2 2026. Asking rents reached €10.8/m²/month, putting the indicative gross yield on asking prices at 7.5% before costs. Sitting roughly 100 km south of Warsaw, this city of 191,819 residents (GUS, end-2025) is shrinking by 1.0% annually. Below we examine prices, yields, buyer rules and risks.

Imagine a tenant in Warsaw doing the weekend arithmetic on a two-room flat down the railway line. At Radom's Q3 2026 average asking price of €1,724.6/m², a 45 m² apartment comes to roughly €77,600—a sum that barely covers a studio deposit and fit-out in the capital. For a private landlord, an indicative gross yield of 7.5% on asking prices makes the spreadsheet look compelling at first glance.

Then comes the second half of the calculation. Radom lost more than 10,000 inhabitants between 2020 and the end of 2025, when the population stood at 191,819 according to Poland's Central Statistical Office (GUS Local Data Bank). The yield is real, and so is the demographic contraction. Deciding whether Radom works for your portfolio means weighing immediate cash flow against long-term liquidity.

How much does a flat in Radom cost in 2026?

In Q3 2026, the average asking price for an apartment in Radom stood at €1,724.6/m², according to CASAFARI Area Insights (location ID 6295137, queried 23 October 2026). This figure measures asking prices across deduplicated listings with statistical outliers removed, rather than final notarial transaction prices.

Over the six quarters of verified coverage since Q2 2025, apartment asking prices in the city have moved gradually upward before softening slightly in the latest reading:

Quarter	Average asking price (€/m²)	Average asking rent (€/m²/month)	Indicative gross yield (asking)
Q2 2025	€1,604.0	€9.8	7.3%
Q3 2025	€1,674.0	€10.3	7.4%
Q4 2025	€1,721.3	€10.5	7.3%
Q1 2026	€1,732.1	€10.6	7.3%
Q2 2026	€1,757.8	€10.6	7.2%
Q3 2026	€1,724.6	€10.8	7.5%

From €1,604/m² in Q2 2025, asking prices rose 7.5% overall to Q3 2026, and are up 3.0% compared with €1,674/m² in Q3 2025. The Q3 2026 figure represents a 1.9% pullback from the series peak of €1,757.8/m² recorded in Q2 2026.

Because these figures reflect what sellers ask on portals rather than what buyers sign for at the notary, anyone making an offer should leave room for negotiation. Before bidding on an individual unit, you can price a specific flat with Comparables and a market study to see how long competing apartments on the same street have sat on the market.

Where is Radom, and why does Warsaw matter so much?

Radom is the second-largest city in the Mazowieckie voivodeship after Warsaw. It lies about 100 km south of the capital via the dual-carriageway S7 expressway and roughly 92 km along railway line no. 8. For buyers priced out of the capital, that dual connection is the core of Radom's housing story: hybrid workers who only need to be in a Warsaw office once or twice a week trade commuting time for a much lower mortgage. You can compare the capital's current levels directly in our Warsaw property market guide.

When browsing apartment listings in Radom, international buyers will mostly encounter a handful of distinct quarters:

• Śródmieście and Miasto Kazimierzowskie: the historic centre and nineteenth-century grid, offering tenement flats (kamienice) and infill blocks close to the main railway station.
• Planty, Ustronie and Południe: large post-war housing estates with abundant 35–50 m² apartments that form the most liquid stock for both first-time buyers and landlords.
• Gołębiów, Michałów and Borki: districts mixing established blocks with newer multi-family developments, with Borki framing the city's recreational reservoir.
• Wacyn and Wośniki: quieter peripheral quarters dominated by single-family houses and building plots, which fall outside the apartment series tracked here.

Local housing and rental demand rests on working civic institutions: Uniwersytet Radomski (the University of Radom), the Mazowiecki Szpital Specjalistyczny (regional specialist hospital), public administration, and the manufacturing and logistics parks along the S7 corridor. The city also has civil aviation infrastructure at Warsaw-Radom Airport on its eastern edge.

Why are rental yields in Radom among the highest in Poland?

Average asking rents for apartments in Radom reached €10.8/m²/month in Q3 2026, up 4.9% year on year from €10.3/m² in Q3 2025 and up 10.2% from €9.8/m² in Q2 2025 (CASAFARI Area Insights, Q3 2026). Because asking rents have grown faster over the past year than asking sale prices (+4.9% versus +3.0%), the yield has edged up rather than compressed.

Dividing the annualised asking rent (12 × €10.8/m²) by the average asking purchase price (€1,724.6/m²) gives an indicative gross rental yield of 7.5% in Q3 2026. Across the six quarters from Q2 2025 to Q3 2026, that indicative gross yield on asking prices has stayed in a narrow band: 7.3%, 7.4%, 7.3%, 7.3%, 7.2% and 7.5%. Every one of these figures is gross, calculated on asking prices before administrative service charges (czynsz administracyjny), income tax, maintenance, agent fees and void periods.

To put the arithmetic in plain terms: a 45 m² flat bought at the Q3 2026 average asking price of €1,724.6/m² costs €77,607. Let at the average asking rent of €10.8/m²/month, it brings in €486 a month, or €5,832 a year before costs.

The tenant pool is almost entirely long-term: university students, medical and public-sector staff, logistics workers, and Ukrainian residents working in the local economy. Radom has no meaningful tourist short-let market. Even so, landlords should note the national regulatory backdrop: on 8 October 2026, the Polish Sejm passed an amendment to the Act on Hotel Services introducing a central register (CWTON), mandatory registration numbers in online listings, fines of up to 50,000 zł, and the option for municipalities or housing communities to restrict short-term lets from 1 January 2028, as summarised in the October 2026 legal analysis of the short-term rental Act by Dudkowiak Kopeć Putyra. As of 23 October 2026, the legislation was awaiting final parliamentary and presidential sign-off and was not yet in force.

Is Radom keeping pace with the rest of Poland?

In price growth, Radom trails the national average. According to the official transaction-based GUS house price index for Q2 2026 (published 1 October 2026), residential property prices across Poland rose 6.3% year on year and 1.5% quarter on quarter, with primary-market prices up 6.5% and secondary-market prices up 6.1% year on year. At the regional level, GUS reported that transaction prices in the Mazowieckie voivodeship rose 3.6% quarter on quarter in Q1 2026, ahead of the 2.3% national quarterly pace (GUS announcement of 2 July 2026).

Against that 6.3% national transaction growth in Q2 2026, Radom's 3.0% year-on-year increase in apartment asking prices in Q3 2026 is modest. Keep in mind that the CASAFARI series measures current asking prices while the GUS index tracks completed notarial transactions over an earlier quarter.

The slower pace in Radom reflects two local fundamentals. First, the city's population declined by 1.0% in 2025 to 191,819 residents (GUS Local Data Bank), including a natural decrease of 1,114 people (1,144 births against 2,258 deaths). Second, registered unemployment in Radom stood at 10.2% in Q4 2025, up 0.6 percentage points year on year, according to GUS figures for Radom reported by MojRadom.pl. You can compare these dynamics with other Polish cities in the Poland property market guide and our overview of Polish property market trends.

Who is buying in Radom, and what?

Demand in Radom is overwhelmingly domestic. The typical buyer is a local resident moving up the housing ladder, a young household using the statutory transfer-tax exemption to buy a first flat on the secondary market, or a family moving into the city from the surrounding county. Alongside them sits a small cohort of Warsaw-area buyers acquiring either a lower-cost main residence or a buy-to-let unit.

Private landlords almost always target compact one- and two-bedroom apartments of 35–50 m² on established estates such as Planty, Ustronie or Południe, where tenant turnover is easiest to manage. Foreign buyers without an existing tie to the city are rare, and there is no holiday-home segment.

Meanwhile, developers have been adding larger stock. According to GUS data reported by MojRadom.pl, 326 dwellings were completed in Radom in Q4 2025 alone, with an average usable floor area of 74.3 m², and total completions in 2025 exceeded those in 2024. Because new builds skew larger and carry developer pricing, investors looking for liquid rental units usually focus on the resale market, using Property Sourcing across all Polish portals to spot clean secondary-market listings without duplicate agent adverts.

What rules and taxes apply to a foreign buyer in Radom?

Poland's rules on foreign property ownership make buying a standard apartment in Radom straightforward:

• Purchase permits: Citizens of the European Economic Area (EU, Iceland, Liechtenstein, Norway) and Switzerland require no permit to buy any real estate in Poland. Under Article 8 of the Act of 24 March 1920 on the Acquisition of Real Estate by Foreigners, non-EEA nationals also need no permit to buy a self-contained residential apartment (samodzielny lokal mieszkalny) outside the statutory border zone—and Radom lies deep in central Poland. Non-EEA buyers only require a permit from the Minister of the Interior and Administration (MSWiA), subject to a 1,570 zł stamp duty, if they purchase a house with land or a building plot, as explained in the gov.pl guidance on property purchase permits for foreigners.
• Transfer tax (PCC) on resale flats: Purchases on the secondary market are subject to a 2% tax on civil law transactions (podatek od czynności cywilnoprawnych), calculated on the property's market value and collected by the notary. Since 31 August 2023, natural persons buying their very first home on the secondary market pay 0% PCC (Article 9 point 17 of the PCC Act), regardless of nationality, provided they have never held a residential property share before. Conversely, since 1 January 2024, buyers acquiring a sixth or subsequent dwelling in the same development on a single plot face a 6% PCC rate, per the PCC transfer tax rules on podatki.gov.pl.
• Primary-market VAT: New-build flats bought directly from a developer are exempt from PCC; the developer's price already includes VAT (8% for apartments up to 150 m²).
• Transaction fees: Buyers also pay the regulated notary fee (taksa notarialna), land and mortgage register (księga wieczysta) court fees, and any agreed agency commission.

What could go wrong? The risks in Radom

A 7.5% indicative gross yield on asking prices exists because investors are being compensated for clear structural headwinds:

• Demographic shrinkage: Radom's population fell from 202,259 in 2020 to 191,819 at the end of 2025 (GUS), with deaths outnumbering births by 1,114 in 2025. Long-term housing occupancy depends on attracting commuters and regional migrants rather than natural city growth.
• Labour-market ceiling: A registered unemployment rate of 10.2% in Q4 2025 (GUS) limits how fast local wages—and therefore achieved residential rents—can rise over a full economic cycle.
• Resale liquidity: Exiting an investment in a secondary city takes longer than in Warsaw or Kraków, particularly if you buy a larger new-build flat priced well above the older housing-estate stock.
• Short data history: CASAFARI's verified quarterly series for Radom spans six quarters (Q2 2025 to Q3 2026; earlier quarters in the raw feed hold static placeholder figures of €1,485.2/m² for sales and €9.3/m² for rents due to sparse coverage and are excluded from all analysis). With a modest sample size, a quarterly swing of around 2%—such as the 1.9% dip in Q3 2026—can reflect listing mix as much as a turn in the market.
