Ukraine's real estate market in June: rental demand rises, interest in new builds declines
In June, Ukraine's real estate market continued to demonstrate shifts in consumer preferences: rental housing became more in demand, while interest in purchasing apartments in new developments declined. In some regions, the drop in demand for new housing was particularly noticeable.
Demand for new constructions: decline across most of the country
According to analysts, in June Ukrainians showed less interest in buying apartments in new buildings. The most significant demand drop was recorded in Chernihiv, Zhytomyr, and Volyn regions - where it fell by almost one third. Zakarpattia became the only region where interest in the primary market increased.
Prices for new constructions remained stable, changing within a few percentage points. The highest prices are traditionally in Kyiv - $1,407 per sq.m., while the most affordable are in frontline regions such as Zaporizhzhia and Sumy.
Secondary market: growth in supply and prices
Against the backdrop of declining interest in new constructions, the secondary market, on the contrary, became more active. In Sumy, Chernihiv regions and Kyiv, the number of listings for sale increased significantly. However, in western regions, the supply decreased instead.
Meanwhile, prices for resale properties continue to rise across Ukraine. The biggest jump was recorded in Kherson region - +8% per month. In Kyiv, the average price of a one-room apartment is now about $93,300. Increased demand for secondary housing was also noted in Ternopil, Sumy and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.
Rental market: activity amid declining supply in the capital
Demand for rental housing increased in June, most noticeably in Sumy (+79% new listings) and Chernihiv (+60%) regions. However, in absolute numbers these regions still lag behind in terms of supply volume. In Kyiv, on the contrary, the number of rental options slightly decreased (-3%).
Average rental prices across the country changed insignificantly. The most expensive rentals remain in the capital - 18.4 thousand UAH per month. Rents rose above average in Poltava, Zaporizhzhia and Mykolaiv regions, while in Kirovohrad and Zakarpattia they even decreased slightly.
Rentals take priority: Ukrainians are more actively seeking rental housing, especially in war-affected regions.
Demand for new constructions is falling, with the exception of Zakarpattia.
The secondary market is growing in both price and supply, but unevenly across regions.
Kyiv remains the most expensive both for purchases and rentals.
June trends confirm that economic instability and the consequences of war continue to influence buyer and renter preferences, shifting focus toward more flexible and affordable housing options.
