Spain and Bulgaria have become a priority: after the drone attack, Poles are massively looking for housing abroad

After the massive attack by Russian drones on September 10, which for the first time purposefully flew into Polish territory, the country’s citizens began to look for housing abroad en masse. Poles are showing the greatest interest in Spain and Bulgaria, where, according to realtors, the number of applications has increased several times.

This is reported by Gazeta Wyborcza.

According to journalists, after the nightly drone attack, Poles became noticeably more active in their search for alternative housing outside the country. Real estate agent Slawomir Stawarczyk, who specializes in the Spanish market, said that the number of clients has tripled since September 10. According to him, many have been thinking about buying a home in Spain for years, but it was the attack that became the impetus for making decisions.

“I’m getting three times as many people calling me: friends, their friends, new clients. They’re saying, ‘I’ve been thinking about buying something in Spain for two years, but it seems like now is the time to make a decision.’ People are moving from dreams to action,” the realtor noted.

He added that the security factor became a key argument: Poland is located on NATO’s eastern border, while Spain looks much more secure.

In addition, housing prices in some Polish cities have caught up with European ones: a studio apartment in Krakow can cost about a million zlotys, while for similar money — approximately 230 thousand euros — you can buy housing in Spain.

Real estate agent Michal Spodimek, who works on the Bulgarian market, confirmed the trend. He said that already on the afternoon of September 10, the phones started to explode with calls from Rzeszów, Lublin, and Warsaw. People were directly clarifying what housing options were available for their budget and were eager to arrange a viewing of the properties as soon as possible.

The expert also emphasized that many Poles are thinking not only about security, but also about possible restrictions in the event of war. “Men assume that Poland may impose a travel ban on them, as Ukraine did. Therefore, some want to have a second home abroad in order to have time to leave before the borders are closed,” Spodymek explained.

As is known, on the night of September 9-10, Russia carried out a massive attack on Ukraine, during which some of the drones violated Polish airspace . This forced Warsaw to raise its aviation and activate its air defense forces. In total, 19 drones crossed the Polish border, of which only four were shot down.

Later, Poland found out the reason for the destruction of a private house in the Lublin Voivodeship . It turned out that the house in Wyryki was hit by a missile fired by a Polish F-16 fighter jet. The plane was trying to shoot down a Russian drone during a night attack.

Against the backdrop of these events, NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte announced the launch of Operation Eastern Sentinel , and the very next day Poland announced its own military operation.
