Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of the real estate market in late medieval town of Chrzanów on the basis of the purchase and sale contract. A period of almost one century in the history of the city has been studied, which has allowed certain trends in real estate turnover to be observed. The analyses have included the dynamics of real estate turnover in the city, which is considered an indicator of the prosperity of a given centre. Another element examined has been the location of the properties traded, which has made it possible to show which parts of the city were of greatest interest to buyers. An analysis of the social and occupational structure of the participants in the property market has showed which groups participated to the greatest extent in the market, with sufficient capital to purchase property in the city. Some observations have also been made concerning house prices in the town.
