As of October 2026, the secondary real estate market in Kyiv shows noticeable price changes and mixed trends. Over the past year, the average cost of one-room apartments in the capital showed a symbolic increase of 1%, while the segments of two- and three-room properties experienced price declines. The market continues to adapt to current economic and infrastructural challenges, directly affecting purchasing power.
Price Differentiation Across Capital Districts
The largest price gap between capital districts is traditionally observed in the one-room apartment segment. The highest median price is recorded in the prestigious Pechersk district, reaching 148 thousand dollars. At the opposite end of the price spectrum is the Desnianskyi district, where similar housing can be purchased for an average of 43 thousand dollars.
Impact of Housing Condition on Value
The final price of square meters largely depends on the presence of renovation and the general condition of the property. For example, in the Pechersk district, a renovated one-room apartment costs an average of 165 thousand dollars, while an unrenovated option is estimated at 130 thousand dollars. Meanwhile, in the Desnianskyi district, these figures are 46 thousand and 36 thousand dollars, respectively. For three-room apartments in Pechersk, the difference is even more tangible: 350 thousand dollars renovated versus 257 thousand unrenovated, whereas in Desnianskyi district a renovated three-room apartment costs about 77 thousand dollars.
Infrastructural Risks and Market Trends
An additional factor affecting the real estate market remains potential risks of disruptions in energy, heat, and water supply ahead of the heating season. According to research by specialized platforms, these challenges force many Ukrainians to reconsider their living conditions. Concurrently, a surge in activity is observed in the rental market: over the past two months, the number of long-term rental offers in Kyiv has increased by 66%, while in the western regions of the country, the volume of available housing has noticeably decreased.
