Czechs shift focus to higher-end cottages in prime locations

Czechs showed greater interest last year in better-equipped, more expensive holiday cottages in attractive regions, rather than snapping up any property available as they did during the pandemic. According to an analysis by Reas.cz, buyers increasingly focused on year-round usability, accessibility and higher standards. A total of 2,600 recreational properties were sold in 2025, down two percent year-on-year, while the average price rose slightly to CZK 2.9 million. The cheapest sale was a small garden cabin in Vysočina for CZK 120,000. The most expensive was a newly built mountain chalet with wellness facilities in the Krkonoše, sold for CZK 32 million.
