The data for April 2025 shows notable growth in both activity and cost, confirming the market's resilience—even in areas once deemed risky.
Secondary Market Activity and Regional Trends
In April, Ukraine's secondary housing market experienced a noticeable uptick in activity. Both sellers and buyers have become more engaged, driven by improving economic stability and regional demand.
-
Kherson Region recorded the sharpest increase in prices—+12% in one month, reflecting renewed confidence even in frontline-adjacent areas.
-
Kyiv remains the most expensive city for one-bedroom apartments, with the average price at $91,500.
-
In Pechersk, the price exceeds $132,000.
-
In Desnyanskyi—Kyiv's most affordable district—apartments cost around $45,000.
-
Areas with Most Listings and Buyer Interest
According to April data, the highest number of listings for 1-room secondary housing appeared in:
-
Kirovohrad
-
Cherkasy
-
Ternopil
This may reflect both seller motivation in low-investment regions and growing local demand to upgrade living conditions.
On the demand side:
-
Vinnytsia: 1 listing per 18 views
-
Ternopil: 1 listing per 15 views
-
Mykolaiv: 1 listing per 13 views
These numbers indicate significant buyer interest, especially outside major urban centers.
In contrast, Kyiv had just 3 responses per ad, suggesting:
-
Market saturation;
-
Cautious buyers deterred by high costs;
-
Shifting demand toward more affordable or stable regions.
Market Preferences and Forecasts
Experts note that buyers increasingly prefer “ready” housing over new construction due to uncertain commissioning timelines for new developments.
“The secondary housing market is expected to strengthen further, especially in regions with a stable security situation and revived local economies.”
In short, investing in Ukrainian real estate remains a viable opportunity—especially in regional centers where demand is rising, prices are still accessible, and security conditions have improved.
