The top manager of developer Intergal-Bud, Anna Laevska, noted that currently in Ukraine, prices for premium-class apartments are on the same level as prices for economy-class housing in Hungary or Germany.
“As soon as the active hostilities end, significant investment will come to our country. We already feel a huge pent-up demand. Our country will continue to adapt to European legislation; this will attract investors, and house prices will approach European ones”.
Laevska clarified that high-quality housing costs €6,000-7,000 per square meter in European countries. Therefore, analysts predict that after the end of the war, housing prices will double.
In Ukraine, the yield on housing purchased for rent is at least 6%, and in the business class segment, it is 8-9% per annum in foreign currency. In the EU, a 3-4% yield can be expected, and it will take the investment 20-25 years to return. In Western European countries, such as France and Germany, the profitability is even lower and amounts to 2−3%.
