Price Dynamics in Primary and Secondary Markets
In most regions of the country, the cost per square meter in the primary market increased moderately but steadily. The highest prices were recorded in Kyiv — $1,407 per square meter. The top five cities with the most expensive housing also included Uzhhorod ($1,141), Lviv ($1,138), Dnipro ($1,119), and Kropyvnytskyi ($1,080). Meanwhile, the lowest prices were set in Zaporizhia ($512) and Sumy ($544) regions. Poltava region stood out with the highest price growth rate for the month — +6%.
In the secondary housing market in July, prices increased almost throughout the country. The leader in growth was Chernivtsi region, where a price increase of 10% was recorded. In Kyiv, the average cost of a one-room apartment reached $94,200 (this figure only considers apartments within the city, excluding the suburbs).
Demand and Supply: Regional Characteristics
According to the results of the first half of the year, demand for primary housing in Ukraine remains 50-60% lower than supply. This gap is due to a significant increase in construction volumes — on average, 30% more than in the same period last year. At the same time, purchasing activity is restrained by uncertainty and instability related to the state of war in the country.
According to experts, the current demand for primary housing is unevenly distributed. The largest share — about 40% — is concentrated in the western regions: Lviv, Ivano-Frankivsk, Chernivtsi, and Zakarpattia. Another 25% is concentrated in Kyiv and the capital’s suburbs. Approximately 15% of buyers choose Odesa and its surroundings. The remaining regions account for only about 20% of demand. At the same time, a clear dependency can be observed: the further from the front line, the greater the demand for new constructions.
Thus, the residential real estate market in Ukraine demonstrates regional characteristics both in price dynamics and in the distribution of demand, which largely depends on the security situation and distance from the combat zone.
