House for sale in Prague: prices, areas and advice on buying

A house in Prague costs an average of 118,510 koruna per square metre according to the Bezrealitky platform, in the second quarter of 2026, or about €4,850 at the Czech National Bank rate of 5 October 2026 (24.46 koruna to the euro). Sales recorded in the land registry give the same order of magnitude: 119,239 koruna per square metre on average for houses sold in Prague in 2025, according to the Czech Statistical Office (ČSÚ).

Counter-intuitively, a house costs less per square metre than an apartment in the capital: the ČSÚ recorded 131,520 koruna for apartments sold in 2025, and Bezrealitky 160,300 koruna for existing apartments in the second quarter of 2026. But a house is bigger, and the total budget reflects that: for 150 m² of living space, expect about 17.8 million koruna, or nearly €727,000.

Many buyers therefore look beyond the city limits, in Central Bohemia, where prices per square metre are considerably lower. Here are the prices, the criteria that determine a house's value and the points to check before buying.

Prague or its surrounding belt: comparing prices

The Central Bohemian Region (Středočeský kraj) completely surrounds Prague. Houses there cost about a third less per square metre:

• In Prague: 118,510 koruna per square metre in the second quarter of 2026 according to Bezrealitky, down 5% over three months but up 7% over one year.
• In Central Bohemia: 80,791 koruna per square metre, or about €3,300, down 3% over three months and up 7% over one year.
• Across the country: 68,322 koruna per square metre, up 9% over one year.

For a 150 m² house, the gap between Prague and its region therefore comes to about 5.7 million koruna, more than €230,000. The price also depends a lot on the size of the municipality. In Central Bohemia, the ČSÚ recorded for 2025 an average price of 66,039 koruna per square metre in municipalities of fewer than 2,000 inhabitants, compared with 85,552 koruna in those of 2,000 to 9,999 inhabitants, often better equipped and better connected to Prague.

What determines a house's value in 2026

The house market has changed pace. According to the ČSOB bank's index, house prices rose 8.6% over one year in the second quarter of 2026, the smallest increase in the Czech residential market, and 1.9% over three months. Supply grew 8% in one quarter, to nearly 20,000 houses, and nearly 8,000 were sold over the period.

Buyers have become selective. According to Bezrealitky, a quality house in a good location waits an average of 4.3 weeks for a buyer, but a house that needs renovating or is badly located stays on the market for 2.3 months. Properties that hold their value combine:

• a good commute time to Prague or another big city;
• a larger plot and greenery;
• a quiet village with a school and a nursery or kindergarten;
• good energy performance, which buyers now weigh alongside price and location, according to ČSOB.

Conversely, interest is falling for older houses in poor technical condition and in less sought-after areas. That is where the room for negotiation is greatest: Bezrealitky observes that after three weeks online, a property commonly sells 7 to 12% below its asking price, and 10 to 15% after two months.

Within Prague, which areas?

For a more residential life without leaving the city, Dejvice and Bubeneč (Prague 6) are quiet, green neighbourhoods, popular with families and close to the universities and embassies. Prague 9 and Prague 10 are more accessible and well connected to the centre by metro and tram.
