How the years are worked out
A flat’s asking price divided by a year of rent: the price-to-rent ratio. The fewer the years, the sooner buying beats renting.
- With the rent blank, each district’s figure is its median asking price per m² over a year of its median asking rent per m², before charges. The flat’s size cancels out.
- With your rent, every district uses it: the asking price of a flat your size, less your savings, over a year of your rent.
- Savings come off the price first. Where they cover it, the district says so.
- The colours split the ranked districts into thirds: good value, average and pricey.
- The figures are the medians of the flats for sale and to rent on Bytky in November 2026, district by district. They are asking prices, not sale prices, and rents exclude charges.
- Left out: a mortgage’s interest, the costs of buying, repairs and the months a flat stands empty. Rent or buy and the mortgage calculator weigh them.
