According to DIM.RIA analysts, June 2025 confirmed a key trend in the Ukrainian housing market: interest in purchasing apartments in new buildings continues to decline, while the rental segment demonstrates record activity.

🔹 Primary market

Demand for new buildings has decreased in almost all regions. The biggest drop is in Chernihiv (-29%), Zhytomyr (-27%), and Volyn (-25%) regions. At the same time, prices remain relatively stable: in Kyiv, the price per m² still costs $1,407.

🔹 Secondary market

Unlike new buildings, the demand for secondary housing is increasing. In Ternopil region +35%, Sumy +28%, Ivano-Frankivsk +13%. The most offers have increased in Sumy and Chernihiv regions and Kyiv. Prices have also gone up — particularly, in Kherson region by 8%. In the capital, the average price of a 1-bedroom apartment reached $93,300.

🔹 Rent: the main player in the market

The rental segment remains the most dynamic. In June, the demand for rented housing increased in all regions of the country. In Kyiv, there are 7 responses per advertisement. In Cherkasy region — as many as 52! Kyiv maintains its position as the most expensive city with an average rental price of 18.4 thousand UAH. The most expensive district in the capital has become Shevchenkivskyi — 23.3 thousand UAH for a 1-bedroom apartment.
