The Ukrainian real estate market keeps surprising. Despite challenging times, demand for housing is not decreasing — on the contrary, it is rising. People strive for stability, their own space, and investments in the future.
What Changed Over the Year
In 2025, 31% of Ukrainians plan to purchase property this year — that’s 3% more than last year. The share of those who do not plan to buy has dropped to 10%. This shows that even in difficult conditions, housing remains a priority.
What Kind of Housing Do Buyers Choose
The main motives remain clear and practical:
-
improving living conditions
-
the need for their own home
-
investment in real estate — 22% gave this answer (+4% compared to last year)
75% of Ukrainians prefer apartments. Private houses remain less popular.
Who Do Buyers Trust
Choosing housing is not only about square meters, but also about trust. The developer plays a crucial role here.
“Intergal-Bud” is the leader among private developers in Ukraine:
-
21 years of experience
-
not a single unfinished project
-
innovative solutions and construction financed with own funds
How Much Are Buyers Ready to Spend
-
63% plan a budget up to $50,000
-
only 10% are ready to spend more than $100,000
This shows that most buyers are looking for affordable options, but are still willing to invest in quality.
New Builds or Secondary Market
-
57% — no preference
-
31% — only secondary housing
-
12% — only new builds
Advantages of new builds: modern architecture, infrastructure, attractive appearance Advantages of secondary housing: readiness for immediate move-in, possibility of bargaining, ability to assess condition on site
At the same time, buyers are aware of the risks of older housing stock: worn-out utilities, outdated renovations, and legal issues.
The Most Important Factor — Price
Price remains the key criterion:
-
89% of new-build buyers
-
81% of those looking for secondary housing
For most Ukrainians, cost is the decisive factor in making a purchase.
Demand for housing in Ukraine continues to grow even in times of instability. People want their own space, invest in the future, and look for developers they can trust. Price remains the main criterion, but behind it lies something greater — the desire for stability and confidence in tomorrow.
