As of October 2026, Kyiv is experiencing a significant increase in the number of rental apartments available. According to analysts, the rental housing supply in the capital has increased by 66%. Meanwhile, in the western regions of Ukraine, there is a contrasting trend, with a sharp decline in available apartments.
Reasons for the Increase in Kyiv
The increase in rental apartments in Kyiv may be attributed to several factors:
- Growth in the number of new buildings and the renovation of old properties.
- Changes in migration patterns, with Ukrainians moving from western regions to the capital.
- Decreased demand for rentals due to economic factors.
Situation in Western Ukraine
In western Ukraine, on the other hand, there is a notable decline in the availability of rental housing. This could be due to:
- Economic difficulties leading to a reduction in the number of landlords.
- A decrease in the number of new apartments being built in the region.
- Outmigration of the population to other areas, particularly to Kyiv.
Increase in Availability in Odesa
Over the past two months, there has also been an increase in the number of rental apartments in Odesa. This indicates a general trend of rising rental housing supply in some major cities of Ukraine, while other regions are facing challenges.
