How to effectively monitor real estate listings in Poland?

Apartment hunting in Poland — why timing matters

Anyone who has searched for an apartment or house in Poland knows how exhausting the process can be. You browse dozens of listings on OLX.pl and Otodom.pl, refresh the pages several times a day, and yet the best offers disappear before you can even call. This is not a coincidence — attractive properties at good prices find a buyer or tenant within just a few hours of being published.

The problem is that manually monitoring listing portals is inefficient. You have work, responsibilities — you can't sit at your computer all day. Meanwhile, new listings appear at any time — morning, noon, evening, and even at night.

Two main platforms — OLX and Otodom

In Poland, the real estate listing market is concentrated primarily on two platforms: OLX.pl and Otodom.pl. OLX is a general classifieds website where you can find everything from apartments to garages. Otodom specializes exclusively in real estate and offers more detailed search filters.

Many sellers publish listings on both platforms simultaneously, but not all of them. That's why effective searching requires monitoring both services at once — which doubles the time needed for manual browsing.

The solution: automated listing monitoring

Instead of manually checking the portals, you can use automated monitoring. Tools like Monitor Ofert allow you to set your search criteria once — and then receive notifications every time a new listing matching your requirements appears.

How does it work?

1. You set your filters on OLX or Otodom (city, price, square footage, number of rooms).
2. You copy the link to your search.
3. You paste it into the Monitor Ofert bot on Telegram.
4. The bot checks for new listings every few minutes and sends you a notification when something appears.

Why Telegram?

Telegram is a free messenger that works on phones and computers. Notifications arrive instantly — with a photo, price, location, and a direct link to the listing. You don't need to install any additional app or sign up for another service. Just open the message and click.

Moreover, Monitor Ofert monitors OLX and Otodom simultaneously with a single search. One setup — two platforms. No need to configure anything twice.

Who is this for?

• People looking for an apartment to rent — especially in large cities where competition is fierce.
• Property buyers — be the first to react to listings at good prices.
• Investors — monitor the market without constantly browsing portals.
• Foreigners in Poland — the bot supports English, making property search accessible regardless of your language.
