Game Changer: Financing, pricing, profitability, and unpredictable interest rates. The scale of challenges and risk assessment in the real estate market. Is real estate still an attractive product for large investors? What alternatives are there?

Costs of investment execution and building materials: How do they affect the profitability of the real estate business? A game changer in the construction business: What does the construction market need today? Is there a chance that construction costs will come down? What would need to happen to make it possible?

• RES in real estate. How much does it cost and how does it translate into savings?

Revival of the real estate market. What will the incoming months bring? Clients are buying again, banks are reporting increases in applications for mortgaga - is the 2% mortgage a factor? Demand for properties exceeds supply - can the market run out of flats for sale? What about prices? How is the role of the PRS sector changing in the market for flats in Poland?
