According to the National Bank, the largest number of housing purchase and sale agreements on the secondary market for 10 months of last year was concluded in the Dnipropetrovsk region – 12% of the total volume, and Kyiv is in second place with 10% of transactions. The list continues with 9% each in the Odesa and Kyiv regions, 8% in the Lviv region, and 5% in the Poltava and Cherkasy regions.
The transaction shares concluded in the other areas range from 1% to 4%. One such area, the Transcarpathian region, has tripled the pace of construction during the war years but accounts for only 2% of total real estate transaction agreements. The same is true for the front-line Kharkiv or Sumy regions. The situation is slightly better in the Ivano-Frankivsk region, with 4% of all housing transactions.
Analysts note that last year there was a certain revival in the housing market compared to the two previous years of war. In 11 months, notaries certified 14% more transactions than in the same period in 2023. Purchase and sale agreements reached 187,200 (70% of the same period in 2021).
