Introduction: Local governments should see striving for a sustainable development of their towns, cities, municipalities and communes as a key policy objective. Achieving that objective requires that the needs and preferences of local communities are properly identified and recognised in various areas, including the housing market – a specific segment of the real estate market that is characterised by its locality and uniqueness, and which serves to accommodate the needs of households, both the basic ones (such as physiological needs, security or belonging) and those higher up the hierarchy (such as esteem or self-actualisation). Aim of the paper: This paper presents data on dwelling size preferences in the local housing market in Poznań, showing that such preferences remained unchanged over 2010-2021. The paper identifies housing affordability as a potential limiting influence on such changes and a factor that may negatively affect the sustainable development of both the city and its population. Materials and methods: The paper uses relevant aggregate data on the real estate market, including those found in publications from Statistics Poland (GUS) and the National Bank of Poland (NBP), and the results of research conducted by the Poznań University of Economics and Business, Department of Investment and Real Estate. Results and conclusions: The results show that the local housing market saw no changes in dwelling size preferences over 2010-2021.On average, dwelling units bought are not big – they have two or three rooms and an area of around 50 sqm. This is caused by relatively low housing affordability in Poznań (too low incomes in relation to dwelling prices), giving rise to concerns regarding proper and sustainable development of local communities going forward.

Introduction/background: Pursuing sustainable urban and community development should be a key objective for local governments. The needs of the current generation should be accommodated in a way that respects the environment and accounts for the needs of the generations yet to come. It also calls for the need to plan for and maintain a sustainable market for residential properties - a specific real estate market segment that is characterised by its localness and uniqueness and which serves to accommodate the needs of households, both the fundamental ones (those relating to physiology, safety and belonging) and those at a higher level (such as recognition and self-fulfilment). Aim of the paper: This study is meant as a contribution to further research and its purpose is to present certain developments in the local primary housing market over 2016-2020 and identify potential problems that could have an adverse impact on a sustainable development of both the city concerned and its population. Materials and methods: Our discussion here is based on real estate market data, including those found in publications from Statistics Poland (GUS) and the National Bank of Poland (NBP), and on research conducted by the Poznań University of Economics and Business, Department of Investment and Real Estate. Results and conclusions: Our research shows that the local primary market for residential real estate in Poznań is on a dynamic growth path, driving up supply, demand and, consequently, prices. While this is welcome news for many market stakeholders, it also gives rise to legitimate concern about the proper and sustainable development of local communities going forward.

Introduction/background: The implementation of modern technologies in the real estate market is a phenomenon that has been observed for several years in global markets. The emergence of solutions favouring the digitalisation of the relatively change-resistant real estate sector is a response to the changing needs and preferences of customers in this market. Taking up the topic within the framework of PropTech in the local real estate market aims to contribute to the discussion in this area and to identify opportunities for the uptake of new technologies in Polish conditions. The area of real estate development activity in the residential market with regard to the use of modern technologies in the business was selected for analysis. Aim of the paper: The main aim of the paper is to analyse to what extent developers are aware of and interested in modern technologies. The 3 following goals were adopted: G1: assessment of the developers' state of knowledge in the field of modern technologies (PropTech); G2: identifying areas that, in the opinion of developers, have the greatest potential for implementing modern technologies; G3: perspectives for the use of modern technologies in the studied areas. Materials and methods: In order to achieve the intended goals, a survey questionnaire was carried out among developers on the real estate market in Poznań. Results and conclusions: As the survey shows, the development of Proptech for developers is still at a rather early stage. Despite the fact that, in their opinion, customers already have expectations in terms of modern technologies and pay attention to environmentally friendly solutions, they use the available solutions only to a small extent, as if forgetting (or not knowing) that the possibilities for implementing modern technologies are much greater and cover many more areas.

Introduction/background: The residential property market is in a state of constant flux, largely a consequence of the intensive development and increasing availability of modern technologies termed PropTech. Relatively resistant to change, the real estate sector is undoubtedly undergoing a technological revolution. PropTech affects the activities of entities that create both supply and services on the real estate market. In addition, it also affects the customer. Aim of the paper: The aim of the paper is to identify the attitudes and preferences of primary apartments buyers regarding the use of modern technology (PropTech) by developers in the local residential property market. Materials and methods: The tool was Internet survey questionnaire. Originally, a face-to-face study was planned, but due to the constraints of the pandemic, it was not possible to reach respondents directly. In some cases, the “snowball” method was also used to increase the sample size. Results and conclusions: The preference surveys that have been conducted and presented are a contribution to further research work in this area. The results obtained show that the most popular solutions are those that are relatively easy to achieve and do not pose a great challenge to developers, for example. In contrast, those related to digital tools came in last place. Further questions also arise. To what extent, in a situation of relatively expensive housing, are buyers willing to pay for modern solutions. Environmental awareness, such as the use of solar energy or rainwater harvesting, may be at odds with the purchasing capacity of households. To what extent can buyers trust modern technologies without worrying about, for example, lack of energy to use appliances. These and probably other questions require further research in this area.
