CEE's real estate market enters the second quarter of 2026 in a mood of measured confidence. According to Property Forum's survey of nearly 200 real estate professionals from across the region, the majority expect either stable but selective deal flow or a moderate recovery in transaction activity over the next 12 months. Regional CEE investors are seen as the primary engine of dealmaking, while foreign capital is expected to return only selectively. Residential and logistics assets lead on risk-adjusted appeal, and Poland remains the undisputed long-term growth leader. Yet beneath the cautious optimism, one concern towers above all others: geopolitical tensions, cited by nearly two-thirds of respondents as the greatest threat to the market.

The golden rule of real estate – “location, location, location” – now tells only part of the investment story. Real estate is no longer a system that can be explained solely through the cost of capital and the balance between supply and demand. A new set of higher-order forces has entered the equation with full force: global geopolitics, cybersecurity, the energy transition, technological development, and the impact of nature on the long-term value of assets. These are precisely the themes around which the ULI Poland 2026 conference, “MATRIX OF REAL ESTATE,” has been built. The event will take place on 15–16 April at Fabryka Norblina in Warsaw. Property Forum is supporting the event as Media Partner.
