Second place went to Lviv, where for a one-bedroom apartment, on median basis, they ask 77,2 thousand dollars. Over a year housing in the city rose by 19%.

Kyiv was only in third place. In the capital, the median price of a one-bedroom apartment is 75 thousand dollars. Over the past year it rose by 4%, i.e., significantly slower than in the two most expensive Western Ukrainian cities.

The largest increase was recorded in Khmelnytskyi. Over the year the median price of one-bedroom housing here rose by 20% to 44,7 thousand dollars.

Prices also rose noticeably in the central part of the country. In Kropyvnytskyi, one-bedroom apartments rose by 17%, to 31,8 thousand dollars, and in Vinnytsia, for a similar rise, the median price reached 59,2 thousand dollars.

In Odesa and Ivano-Frankivsk apartments added 16% in a year. At the same time, prices in these cities differ: in Odesa, the median price for a one-bedroom apartment is 51,9 thousand dollars, while in Ivano-Frankivsk it is 50,2 thousand dollars.

In Dnipro and Chernihiv, as in Kyiv, one-bedroom apartments rose by 4% over the year. In Dnipro, median price reached 31,6 thousand dollars, and in Chernihiv — 34,2 thousand dollars.

One of the cheapest regional centers for acquiring housing remains Zaporizhzhia. Here the median price of a one-bedroom apartment is 16 thousand dollars. Compared with August last year, prices rose by only 2%.

Conversely, in Rivne and Kherson apartments did not rise, but became cheaper. In Rivne, the median price fell by 5%, to 55,5 thousand dollars.

The biggest decline in housing value was recorded in Kherson. Over the year, one-bedroom apartments here fell by 14%, and the median price is only 12 thousand dollars. This is the lowest figure among Ukrainian regional centers.

OLX Real Estate analysts link the considerable price differences between regions not only to supply-demand balance but also to the security situation. In front-line cities, apartments remain significantly cheaper than in the west and in central parts of the country.

At the same time, the DIM.RIA study showed that in August the largest increase in apartment prices was recorded in Cherkasy, Chernivtsi and Zakarpattia regions.

According to OLX Real Estate, in June the median value of apartments in Ukraine exceeded 61 thousand dollars. In dollar terms, housing prices rose by 3%.
