Demand for apartments has fallen in the Odesa region

In the Odesa region, the number of listings for apartments for sale on the secondary market is 1.7 times higher than demand. Based on this indicator, the region ranks among the top four regions with the greatest imbalance between supply and buyer interest. Overall, in October 2026, demand for existing homes continued to decline in most regions of Ukraine.

This is evidenced by the October analysis from the DIM.RIA real estate marketplace.

According to the study, a larger gap between the number of listings and demand was recorded only in the Kyiv region, where there are 2.3 times more listings than interested buyers, and in Kyiv—2.2 times more. In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, this ratio stands at 1.1.

At the same time, demand for existing homes in October grew in only two regions: Dnipropetrovsk Oblast—by 10%—and Zakarpattia Oblast—by 4%. The sharpest declines were recorded in the Ternopil region (-25%), the Vinnytsia region (-22%), and the Khmelnytskyi and Kirovohrad regions (both -20%).

The situation in the new-construction market is also mixed. In October, demand for new housing fell the most in Kyiv—by 33%. In contrast, it rose in Zakarpattia Oblast—by 15%, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast—by 12%, and Mykolaiv Oblast—by 9%.

The rental market has also changed. In Zakarpattia, the median monthly rent for a one-bedroom apartment rose by 17% to 34,000 hryvnias. In Kyiv, on the other hand, the price fell by 21%—to 26,000 hryvnias per month.

At the same time, demand for rental housing fell in all regions of Ukraine in October. The largest declines were in Kherson Oblast (-28%), Volyn Oblast, and Mykolaiv Oblast (both -27%).
