📈 In the fall of 2025, Ukrainians will face another increase in housing rent. According to forecasts by the head of the real estate sales development sector, Oksana Ostapchuk, apartment prices are expected to rise by an average of 10–20%, with the most impact felt by those seeking one-room housing in safe regions of the country.

The reasons for the price increase are evident. Firstly, there is the traditional seasonal surge in demand: before the start of the academic year, thousands of students and young professionals are actively looking for apartments. Secondly, there is a reduction in supply: after the summer period, some owners focus on short-term rentals, leaving fewer available options in the fall.

According to expert Oksana Ostapchuk, the rental market has always been sensitive to seasonal factors. Only in the first half of 2025, prices have already increased by 8%, and this trend will not stop. The most noticeable rise will be in one-room apartments, which traditionally have the highest demand among students and young workers.

📍The most significant growth is expected in the western regions and large cities. The leaders in demand remain: Kyiv, Lviv, Odesa, Uzhhorod, Ivano-Frankivsk.

Especially dynamically, the market "revived" in July: in Ivano-Frankivsk, demand increased by 45%, in Dnipro – by 39%, in Uzhhorod – by 31%, in Lviv – by 28%, and even in Kharkiv – by 18%.

Analysts also draw attention to the financial side of the issue: in many cities, rent "eats up" a significant portion of the salary. For example, a one-room apartment in Uzhhorod costs 76% of the average income, in Lviv – 65%, and in Kyiv – 61%. For two-room apartments, the situation is even more complex: in the capital, rent reaches almost 93% of the average salary.
