There is still a low vacancy rate in Prague and its surroundings and the supply is unable to satisfy demand. Developers are focusing their activities, in particular, in the Moravian-Silesian Region, in general on the borders with Germany – in Karlovy Vary region, in Usti region and Pilsen region.
Because of the security measures in regards to COVID-19, many companies resorted to layoffs which means that unemployment in these regions is on a rise. This surge of potential new employees can help stimulate the market.
