At the beginning of 2026, the Kyiv real estate market shows a moderate decline in both rental and property sale segments. The overall trend indicates relative stability with a slight correction after previous periods of activity.
Apartment Rentals: Down 6%
The average rental price in Kyiv is currently 20,728 UAH per month, which is 6% lower than before. This may be due to seasonal factors as well as decreased purchasing power.
The gap between districts remains significant:
-
Pecherskyi district traditionally remains the most expensive, with average rent reaching 43,000 UAH per month
-
Desnianskyi district is the most affordable, at around 15,000 UAH per month
This difference is explained by both the prestige of the location and the quality of housing and infrastructure.
Apartment Sales: Down 4.7% per Square Meter
The sales segment has also recorded a decline. The average price per square meter in Kyiv is 66,000 UAH, which is 4.7% lower than in the previous period.
The price leaders remain unchanged:
-
Pecherskyi district — the most expensive, with an average of 102,000 UAH per m²
-
Desnianskyi district — the most affordable, approximately 46,000 UAH per m²
This confirms a stable trend: central and prestigious districts maintain high prices even during overall market declines.
