🇵🇱 Big mortgage shift in Poland — a short brief for Expats. Finally some good news for borrowers! 📉✨
🏡 If you’re paying or planning a mortgage here, this one’s worth reading. 🙌
📊 Many of you have been waiting since 2022 for a moment like this — and it finally looks like it’s here.
As always, you can count on me if you have questions — happy to share insights or explain how these trends may affect your situation. 💬🤝
After months of high costs, things are finally moving the right way. 📉
Following the latest decision by the Polish Monetary Policy Council (RPP), we can clearly see WIBOR rates trending down:
• 1M ➜ 4.72%
• 3M ➜ 4.53%
• 6M ➜ 4.46%
This is a natural market reaction to lower interest rates — and a strong signal that banks may soon update their fixed-rate offers.
If the trend holds, by the end of October 2025 we could finally see 5,X% “a five in front” on fixed-rate mortgages — the first time since 2022! 🙌
💬 Global context:
Meanwhile, the world economy looks tense — 💵 the dollar to PLN seems strengthening, 🪙 gold just broke $4,000/oz, and rising commodity prices could keep inflationary pressure alive.
According to classical models (Mundell–Fleming, Balassa–Samuelson), that mix often pushes import prices higher, and let’s not forget about expensive energy costs — a reminder that this calm might not last forever. ⏳
🧮🔥 You also with many requests motivated me to create especially for Expats (all in English) own custom calculator from scratch, showing refinancing and calculations in a super simple way:
• how much you save monthly,
• after how many weeks a refinance pays off in your particular case,
• and what’s effectively the difference looks like for your loan amount.

⚖️ You have the right to a lower rate When the market offers a better rate, you can take advantage of it — and right now, that’s the case.
