Housing construction accelerates in Ukraine

Housing construction accelerates in Ukraine
Article top vertical

According to LUN, in the first half of 2025, construction began on 48,900 apartments and private houses in Ukraine, which is 35% more than last year. The most active construction is taking place in Kyiv, Lviv, and Ivano-Frankivsk regions.

Despite the increase in new projects, prices in the primary market have stabilized. In most cities, adjustments fluctuate within ±1%. The most expensive new apartments are traditionally in Lviv (₴57,900/m²), Kyiv (₴54,200/m²), and Uzhhorod (₴47,700/m²), while the cheapest are in frontline cities such as Zaporizhzhia, Sumy, and Kharkiv.

On the secondary market, a new geography of demand is forming: over six months, prices for one-bedroom apartments rose the most in Ternopil (+13%) and Odessa (+13%), while in Lviv and Uzhhorod they declined.

In Kyiv, the average price of a one-bedroom apartment is $65,000, a two-bedroom is $100,000, and a three-bedroom is $150,000.

The housing affordability index has improved: in the capital, buying an average one-bedroom now requires 7.5 annual salaries, compared to 8 six months ago.

The rental market has also stabilized, with clear seasonal trends. The largest rent increases were recorded in Odessa (+50%), Vinnytsia (+36%), and Cherkasy (+20%). In Kyiv, a one-bedroom apartment rents for an average of ₴18,000, and affordability has improved — now it accounts for 60% of the average city salary.
