The cost of real estate in Ukraine may increase significantly after the end of the war, especially if the European integration scenario is launched. This forecast was voiced by Denys Shulga, co-founder of the Encyclopedia of New Buildings project.
According to him, the biggest jump is expected in the western regions of the country, where people and businesses are actively moving.
"An apartment that costs $100,000 today can easily rise in price to $150,000-$170,000. It's difficult to predict this accurately now, but it's quite possible," the expert explained.
Housing prices are also expected to rise in Kyiv. Before the start of the full-scale war, real estate in the capital was already more expensive than in some European capitals. After the market crash, prices began to gradually recover, and, as Shulga notes, they will grow even faster after the war ends.
"There is currently pent-up demand in Kyiv: people are not buying housing because of a lack of money, but because of expectations of stability. When the situation stabilizes, demand will immediately be reflected in prices," he added.
If the country follows the path of European integration, real estate prices in many regions of Ukraine will "catch up" to the capital's and even European indicators.
