Good to know:

More apartments are available now than in previous years, giving you significantly more choice across all city zones.

Prices are lower and more negotiable, so you can often secure a better-quality apartment for the same budget.

Modern buildings and central locations are now more affordable compared to 2022–2023 peak prices.

Competition among landlords works in your favor — many are willing to adjust the price or include additional amenities (parking, etc).

You can take more time to choose, because apartments no longer disappear from the market within a day or two.

Long-term contracts are easier to arrange, as landlords now prefer stable, reliable tenants.
