The article is an attempt to show how the coronavirus pandemic has had and continues to affect the development market. As is well known, at the beginning of March 2020, Po-land recorded the first case of COVID-19 infection. From that time until July 2021, the authorities announced several economic closures – lockdowns in Poland. This mainly concerned trade and services. Initially, the situation related to COVID-19 on the housing market was also uncertain. Developers have suspended some construction works, some have not started at all. This was due to several factors, including new requirements set by banks for borrowers, uncertainty of investors – future apartment buyers, and the unstable situation of other industries. For this reason, this article analyzes the reactions of the primary market to the subsequent restrictions and the epidemic situation. The analysis of developers’ behavior, changes in the prices of building materials and changes in the prices of construction services was undertaken. The research results will be based on data from five cities in Poland.
