Dynamics of Apartment Purchase Prices
In the capital, real estate is traditionally the most expensive: the average price of a one-bedroom apartment in Kyiv reached $92,400. Among the city’s districts, Pechersk remains the leader in price — nearly $132,000, while the most affordable is the Desnyansky district with an average price of $45,000. Active demand for secondary housing in May was recorded in the Khmelnytskyi, Odesa, and Volyn regions.
Regarding the ratio of apartment purchase listings to user responses, in Kyiv this figure is 1:3, while in the Odesa region it is 1:2. A significantly higher level of interest is observed in the Vinnytsia region (1:18), Ternopil (1:16), and Mykolaiv (1:15).
Rental Market Situation
The rental housing market in May remained unstable. The largest increase in new listings was noted in the Chernivtsi (+35%) and Zakarpattia (+29%) regions. At the same time, the number of offers in the Kirovohrad region decreased by 40%, and in Kyiv — by 22% compared to the previous month.
The capital retains its status as the most expensive city for rent: the average rental price for an apartment in May was 18,200 hryvnias (an increase of 4% compared to April). In the Pechersk district, rent averages 26,300 hryvnias, while in the Desnyansky district it is 10,900 hryvnias. In most regions, price changes were within a few percentage points, with exceptions being the Zakarpattia and Ternopil regions (11% increase), as well as Cherkasy (-11%) and Chernihiv (-15%).
“In May, users actively searched for rental housing: according to data from the analytical center DIM.RIA, interest was observed in almost all regions of Ukraine.”
The ratio of rental listings to responses in Kyiv is 1:6, while in most other regions, these figures differ by several times, indicating uneven demand and supply in the rental market across different regions of the country.
