Autumn has always been the peak season in the rental market. Late August, September, and October are the months when demand surges — and prices follow.
Market Trends
According to OLX Real Estate analytics, rental prices in 2025 have already increased by 8%. But this is only the beginning: experts predict an additional 10–20% rise this fall in safer regions.
The sharpest increase is expected in the segment of one-bedroom apartments. This type of housing remains the most popular among students, young professionals, and families looking for temporary accommodation.
Where is Demand the Highest?
The hottest rental markets are concentrated in major cities and regional centers. The leaders include:
-
Kyiv
-
Lviv
-
Odesa
-
Uzhhorod
-
Ivano-Frankivsk
Why Are Prices Growing?
The explanation is simple: demand exceeds supply. More people are looking to rent, while the number of available listings is shrinking. This competition among tenants inevitably drives prices up.
Fall 2025 will be a challenging season for renters. If you’re planning to move, it’s wise to start searching early and secure your apartment before prices climb even higher.
