In 2024, prices for apartments in Kyiv increased significantly, both in new buildings and on the secondary market. If you are planning to buy an apartment in the capital in the near future, it will not hurt to navigate the prices in advance and find out in which area of the city the purchase will be the most profitable. We share the latest information on how much real estate in Kyiv costs now.
How much does an average apartment in Kyiv cost
The primary real estate market in Kyiv, as well as in other cities of Ukraine, is going through hard times. The situation on construction sites is deteriorating due to a shortage of staff caused by mobilization. The challenging economic environment has already resulted in a 30-40% drop in the number of new projects. At the same time, the cost of construction is rising significantly due to a significant rise in the price of building materials.
All these factors have had a negative impact on the prices of new real estate. Compared to the beginning of 2024, the cost per square meter in Kyiv increased by 6-10% by the end of last year. As of March 2025, the average cost of 1 m² of a business class apartment is UAH 72,700, while the average cost of an economy apartment is UAH 42,000. In some elite residential complexes, real estate is offered at prices up to UAH 270,000/m².
Primary real estate has also affected the secondary market. Over the past year, prices for apartments on the secondary market in the capital grew by 5-8%. On the contrary, buyers were expecting prices to fall. The reduced demand also affected the average period of real estate sales: a one-bedroom apartment is sold on average for 2-4 months, while a three-bedroom apartment takes up to 6 months. Illiquid properties can wait for a buyer for up to a year or more.
If we talk about the average cost of housing in the secondary market, it is $62,500 for one-bedroom apartments, $97,000 for 2-room apartments, and $141,000 for 3-room apartments. Experts also note that the dynamics of price growth primarily relates to the price tags in the ads. In reality, many sellers are ready to meet the needs of buyers and provide discounts for those who are really interested.

A two-bedroom apartment in the historic part of the city will cost $189,000, and a three-bedroom apartment will cost $309,000.

What factors affect the cost of an apartment in Kyiv
The cost of a square meter in the real estate market is formed taking into account many factors. It is influenced by the political and economic situation in the country, on which the demand for apartments depends. The latter is also a factor in price formation. If everything is stable in the country, the demand for housing is growing, and prices are growing after it, although in fact the area, repairs and other features of the apartment have not changed. If the situation leaves much to be desired, the demand falls, and after it gradually decreases and real estate prices. When demand is low, sellers are more willing to bargain.
The cost of an apartment in Kyiv is significantly influenced by its location. As you can see from the data in the previous section, the closer to the center of the capital, the more expensive is a square meter of residential real estate. Although it is also possible to find a relatively inexpensive apartment in the central part of the capital, most likely, its condition will be far from ideal.
Additional factors that determine the cost of an apartment in Kyiv:
Transport accessibility. The proximity of the metro, public transport stops, and main highways play an important role. Most residents of the capital need to get to work or school, go to shops or medical institutions, take children to school or kindergarten, etc. The closer the metro or stop, the more it affects the cost of the apartment.
Infrastructure. If the house is located in a developed area with shops, shopping and entertainment centers, kindergartens, schools, clinics, and hospitals, the seller can raise the cost of the apartment. At the same time, the lack of normal infrastructure reduces the cost of housing.
Type of house and its age. The older the house, the cheaper the real estate in it. Accordingly, in inhabited new buildings on the secondary market, housing prices are higher. As for the types of houses, the cheapest options are offered in panel buildings. Monolithic-frame and brick houses are more reliable and warm, so housing in them is more expensive.
Number of floors. Until recently, apartments on high floors with a panoramic view of the city were in great demand. Now they are not very popular. During wartime, buyers tend to choose safer lower floors. In addition, if there is no electricity, you will not have to suffer because of a broken elevator. In this regard, apartments on the lower and middle floors are more expensive.
Area and number of rooms. This factor is simple - the larger the apartment, the more expensive it is. One-room apartments are in the greatest demand, then three-room and two-room apartments.
Condition of the apartment. You can buy a living space without renovation for about 20% cheaper than a similar apartment, but with renovation already completed. But here everything is individual, since one seller can simply re-glue the wallpaper and install new cheap plumbing, while another will change the wiring, windows and doors, replace the flooring, level the walls and ceiling, buy high-quality furniture, etc.
The cost of an apartment in the capital can be affected by such factors as problematic documents, registered minors, debts for utilities, etc. The more difficulties there are with registering the apartment to the new owner, the more the buyer can expect a price reduction. But at the same time, it is important to understand that the low cost of such housing also implies higher risks for the new owner.
