Krakow's purchasing power of the average salary is decreasing - at least when it comes to the real estate market. In 2021, you could buy 0.43 sq m for the average net salary, and two years later - only 0.38 sq m. In Warsaw and Gdańsk, you can buy slightly more real estate than two years ago (2 and 1 cm², respectively). However, the average salary still does not allow you to buy even half a meter of living space. In this respect, Łódź is the best place, where you can buy a square meter for 0.71 of your salary.
