Real estate experts have varied views on how significantly the new #naStart home loan government program will affect the housing market. Marek Wielgo from rynekpierwotny.pl stated that the program is unlikely to cause a double-digit increase in housing prices. According to him, the prices are likely to rise anyway, but not as a direct consequence of the government program. Michał Kubicki, an expert on the real estate committee of the National Chamber of Commerce, thinks that increased publicity about the program will continuously stimulate demand.
