Demand for rental housing in the capital is rising, and so are the prices. This indicates a decline in trust toward investing in property purchases.
This was stated in an interview with HMH.news by Larysa Stavynoha, President of the Union of Real Estate Professionals of Ukraine.
“Yes, the rental market is very active. Prices have increased significantly. A one-room Khrushchev-era apartment now costs 13,000 UAH, and a new building — up to 20,000. And that’s quite a worrying signal: people are not ready to invest in buying property because they’re uncertain about stability. They choose mobility — they rent so they can quickly relocate in case of danger,” the expert noted.
According to her, this trend reflects overall instability in the market: Ukrainians are hesitant to invest in their own housing and instead opt for temporary solutions that allow them to adapt quickly to changes.
