The demand for housing in Kyiv is gradually stabilizing, but most buyers focus on budget options. The main interest is focused on apartments worth up to $50 thousand, mainly in remote areas of the city or suburbs.
As of November 2024, prices remain stable, although demand is still low. On average, one-room apartments fell in price from $65,000 to $60,000. According to Oksana Kovtun, head of the Kyiv division of the Association of Real Estate Specialists of Ukraine (AFNU), in the November-December period, buyers can get a significant discount if the object is not popular.
Where is the most expensive and the cheapest?
The most expensive apartments are traditionally located in the central areas of the capital:
- Pechersky district: one-room apartments cost $130,000 on average, two-room apartments - $185,000.
- Shevchenkivskyi district: prices for one-room apartments start at $80,000, and two-room apartments reach $125,000.
For those looking for cheaper housing:
- In the Desnyan district, prices start at $39.5 thousand,
- In Dniprovsky - from $55,000.
There are even more affordable options in the suburbs of Kyiv:
- Gostomel: from $26,000.
- Irpin: $35.7 thousand.
- Bucha: $34.5 thousand.
- Vyshneve, Brovary, Vyshhorod: about $43,000.
In the secondary market, there is a special demand for:
- Khrushchevki : due to low demand, prices for such apartments fell below the market average.
- New buildings : despite the higher cost, remain popular due to modern conditions.
- "Tsarski buildings" : this is the most premium real estate, especially in the central areas. For example, a two-room apartment in such a building costs about $157,000.
The demand for affordable housing is actively supported by government initiatives:
- eOselya : preferential lending.
- isRehabilitation : assistance to veterans of the ATO/OOS.
- Resolutions of the Cabinet of Ministers No. 280 and No. 119 aimed at providing housing for privileged categories of citizens.
Despite the low demand, Kyiv's real estate market shows stability. Suburbs and budget apartments continue to dominate the structure of requests, and buyers actively use the opportunity to bargain for discounts.
