It's time. Why you can buy an apartment in Kiev during the war
However, the buyer is not enough for everyone, and the activity that was before the war does not have to dream. The trend of restoring demand, which began with the opening of the Register of Real Estate Rights in May, is still stored. Solven demand is mostly formed by people who are considering a purchase for life, but are not ready to buy here and immediately. Buyers are up -to -date, they go to views, but are in no hurry to go to the deal quickly for several reasons.
First, they hope to get a profitable discount because of the situation in the market and in the country, in particular, and secondly, because of uncertainty about tomorrow.
Many are interested in apartments, but they are in no hurry to buy, in particular because of misunderstanding, which will be tomorrow, however, even an increase in the exposure of apartments (the period for which the lot is looking for its buyer) for at least 2-4 weeks, did not stop the gradual ascending dynamics of demand restoration. Now we can talk about the increase in the interest of buyers within 35% of the pre -war level.
The shopping enthusiasm is also warmed by inflation and course rally. Since the beginning of the war, the dollar increased from UAH 29. 25 to UAH 36. 59 - by 25%, but, according to economists, this is far from the limit. Therefore, someone is in favor of buying an apartment without waiting for the fall, hoping to save money from depreciation. After all, the secondary market is an opportunity to get ready -made housing here and immediately without waiting for the completion of construction.
However, the quality and format of housing in Ukrainians in recent years has increased significantly: buyers are not just interested in square meters, but a multifunctional space for living with a variety of infrastructure, recreational potential, convenient transportation.
Therefore, a considerable percentage of solvent demand is concentrated in residential complexes that have been completed and commissioned recently, where there is its own infrastructure, a territory for walking and activity, a safe space for raising children. Typically, these are homes after 2017 and younger ones, built by new standards.
Another significant advantage of yesterday's primary is the highest threshold of energy efficiency, which in the face of increasing the cost of energy prices is a significant advantage. Ukrainians are not ready to pay for the air, because the expected amounts of payments for communal are not the last in the list of buyer issues today.
It is worth noting that the average price of apartments in the secondary market since the beginning of the year, despite the difficult situation, has increased, which is due, first of all, to inflation. The growth was from 8 to 12% depending on the format of housing and location. The most increased in the price of the apartment from 50 to 75 square meters.
m in the central and central areas, the lower percentage of price increases by the old housing stock-80-90s and earlier, as well as large apartments. In the latter, by the way, the owners are ready to offer the largest discount, which reaches a largely 12-15% of the pre-war price.
In the process of choosing an apartment, many are interested in the price of utilities-to pay for the air Ukrainians no longer want a one-bedroom apartment in Kiev can buy in the range of $ 45-60 thousand, two-room-in the range of $ 70-90 thousand, and a multi-room costs from $ 85 thousand. Further price dynamics depends directly on the level of real solvent demand.
And there is a high likelihood that with further restoration of developers' activity, the primary market will distract a significant percentage of buyers, ready to wait for commissioning, but to become the owner of a conceptually a new environment for life, which takes into account both the ergonomics of space and the requirements for energy efficiency expectation. In order not to lose the buyer, the owners of the apartments will have to continue the discount policy.
