🏠 Prices for new builds in Ukraine in 2026 are rising not only due to the cost of the "shell" but also due to the increase in renovation costs. 📉 Experts warn: the price per square meter is just the beginning. 💰 Basic renovation now costs 9–14 thousand UAH/m², while complex renovation can reach 30 thousand UAH/m². 🔍 For a 50 m² apartment, the renovation budget can equal the price of the property. ✅ Housing with ready-made finishing is becoming more profitable, but requires careful inspection of the package. #realestate #renovation #newbuilds #economy #2026

🏠 In 2026, when choosing a new building, the price per square meter is no longer the main thing. Experts advise evaluating the full living model: autonomy, generation, and heating. This determines liquidity and safety in the cold season. #realestate #newbuildings #autonomy #RBCUkraine
