This represents a 12% increase compared to 2023, but is still 28% lower than before the full-scale invasion, according to Opendatabot.

Changes in the Real Estate Market in Ukraine for 2024
Meanwhile, Ukrainians are hesitant to invest in housing: the number of such agreements increased by only 3% over the year, and this figure remains 1.8 times lower than before the large-scale invasion.
However, more Ukrainians are taking out mortgages – the number of such agreements increased by 14% over the year, totaling nearly 13,000 properties. The recovery in demand for apartments for mortgage payment primarily occurred due to the state program eOselya: 70% or 8,500 mortgages for housing were issued through it last year.
