Is it better to buy or rent in Prague in 2025?

Buying is increasingly attractive due to the abolished 4% property transfer tax and stabilizing interest rates (~4.7%). Rents are rising rapidly (+17% YoY), making long-term ownership (5+ years) financially superior.

What are the closing costs in Prague?

Closing costs are remarkably low, often under 1% of the property price, because the 4% Real Estate Acquisition Tax was abolished in 2020. You mainly pay for legal and notary fees.

Are property prices in Prague falling?

Prices dipped in 2023/2024 but are now rebounding due to a severe supply shortage (lowest building permits in 26 years) and falling mortgage rates.
