Rental prices in the Czech Republic continue to rise – and noticeably so. The trend is particularly evident in Brno, where prices in the third quarter of 2025 increased more sharply than in the capital.
Rents in the Czech Republic also continued to rise in the third quarter of 2025. According to the latest Deloitte Rent Index data, the national average price per square metre increased by 3.1 per cent to 336 crowns. The sharpest growth was recorded in the country’s two largest cities – with Brno showing a considerably stronger rise than Prague.
“We are observing a further increase in rents in the third quarter – and that almost nationwide,” explains Petr Hána, Head of Real Estate and Construction at Deloitte. “While price increases in most regional cities amount to only a few crowns, tenants in Brno are experiencing much larger jumps – they paid on average around 20 crowns more per square metre than in the previous quarter.”
Brno recorded the highest quarter-on-quarter increase: the average rent there rose by 7.8 per cent to 399 crowns per square metre. Prague came second with an increase of 3.6 per cent (456 crowns), followed by Jihlava with a growth of 3.5 per cent to 263 crowns. Only three regional cities reported slight declines – Zlín (−0.7% to 292 crowns), České Budějovice (−0.4% to 272 crowns) and Hradec Králové (−0.3% to 308 crowns).
By property type, rents in brick buildings rose the most – by 3.4 per cent to an average of 336 crowns per square metre. However, new developments continue to record the highest prices: here, the price per square metre increased by 3 per cent to 407 crowns.
Prague remains the most expensive city – Praha 6 leads the way
After only a slight rise in the second quarter (+0.5%), the Prague rental market recorded a much stronger increase this time. The average price rose by 3.6 per cent to 456 crowns per square metre. Prices climbed particularly steeply in Prague 6 (+7.7% to 449 crowns), followed by Prague 4 (+6.2% to 446 crowns) and Prague 9 (+4.6% to 456 crowns). Only two districts saw decreases – Prague 1 (−0.6%, 484 crowns) and Prague 3 (−0.4%, 461 crowns).
“Districts such as Dejvice or Vokovice in Prague 6 have long been among the most desirable areas – thanks to good transport connections, high-quality infrastructure, proximity to nature and a wide range of shops and services,” says Hána. “At the same time, our data show that outlying areas are increasingly becoming popular. These locations offer a quieter environment and lower prices, which in turn leads owners and agents to adjust their rental prices.”
The most expensive areas remain the inner-city districts of Prague 1, 2 and 7. By property type, new developments continue to lead – the average price rose by 2.6 per cent to 482 crowns per square metre. Brick and panel buildings each recorded increases of around 4 per cent.
