The war has radically changed the Ukrainian real estate market, creating a sharp contrast between regions. While housing prices are steadily rising in some cities, in others, even recently promising properties have significantly lost their value. These differences clearly demonstrate how the security situation, population migration, and limited supply are affecting the market. In addition, as reported by Finance.ua, prices for one-bedroom apartments in the primary and secondary markets vary significantly depending on the region.

How much does a one-room apartment cost in Kyiv?

The capital's market remains traditionally the most expensive in Ukraine. The cost of housing is influenced by the area, class of construction, area, floor, and stage of completion of the building.

Back in January last year, a one-room apartment on the primary market in Kyiv could be purchased for between $30,000 and $85,000. Prices rose in the first quarter of 2025, ranging from $35,000/40,000 to $70,000/90,000 in March.

In June, the market did not bring any significant surprises, but later, against the backdrop of stable demand and limited supply, prices continued to rise. In September, the cost of one-room apartments in the capital was $45,000–65,000, and more affordable options were becoming increasingly rare.

One-bedroom apartments in Donetsk Oblast: lowest prices

In the areas of Donetsk Oblast controlled by Ukraine, there is virtually no primary market—no new buildings are being constructed. Buyers are choosing exclusively secondary housing.

In Sloviansk and Kramatorsk, a one-bedroom apartment can be purchased for $3,000–12,000. In 2025, prices were approximately 15–20% higher, but they continue to decline due to the evacuation of the population and the sale of housing on terms that are unfavorable to owners. If the security situation improves, the cost of real estate in the region may increase.

The situation on the market for one-room apartments in Dnipro

A year ago, one-room apartments in new buildings in Dnipro cost $25,000–35,000. Prices rose slightly closer to the summer, after which they remained stable for several months.

By January 2026, a 10–13% increase was recorded. Demand remains stable, and as of summer 2026, prices in the primary market are not expected to exceed $30–45 thousand.

At the same time, developers often offer discounts in the early stages of construction, but such deals are associated with risks and uncertain deadlines for commissioning the building.

Odessa: stable growth in housing prices

In Odessa and the surrounding region, prices for one-bedroom apartments in new buildings remained moderately high in January 2025. According to LUN analysts, housing prices rose by approximately 14% in the first quarter of 2025.

At that time, a 30–40 m² apartment could be purchased for $32–42 thousand. Prices rose gradually, without sharp jumps, including in areas near the sea.

As of January 2026, according to DIM.RIA, one-bedroom apartments in Odesa are already being offered for $55,000–65,000, although cheaper options are available if you're willing to settle for a smaller space or an apartment that's still under construction.

Kharkiv: one of the most affordable markets

Kharkiv is consistently among the cheapest regional markets. While one-bedroom apartments used to cost $22,000–24,000, prices now start at $14,000–18,000.

The main reason is its proximity to the combat zone. Despite the risks, the market continues to function, and demand for affordable new buildings remains relatively stable.

Western regions: limited supply and high demand

In the western regions, particularly in Lviv and Ivano-Frankivsk, there is consistently high demand with a limited number of new buildings.

A year ago, one-bedroom apartments in Lviv cost $35,000–60,000, and by the end of the year, prices had risen by another 8–12%. In Ivano-Frankivsk, the range was $28,000–45,000, and now it has also increased.

In Vinnytsia, apartments with an area of 25–35 m² were offered on the primary market for $50–65 thousand, and in Lutsk for $45–60 thousand. Active construction supports market stability.

Secondary market: where the most affordable housing is

Prices also vary significantly in the secondary market. In Kyiv, the cost of one-room apartments rose from $45,000–100,000 to $50,000–110,000 at the beginning of 2026.

In Dnipro, prices range from $20,000 to $40,000, with an annual increase of 10–15%. In Odesa, secondary housing has risen in price from $30,000–50,000 to $35,000–55,000. Slovyansk and Kramatorsk remain the cheapest, at $3,000–12,000.
