Renting Houses in Ukraine Increased by 3.7 Times: Where Prices Rose the Most After 2022

After the onset of the full-scale war, the market for renting private houses in Ukraine has changed significantly. The highest price increase was observed in the Kyiv region, where the median rental price rose from 30,000 UAH to 111,000 UAH. At the same time, the price increase did not always indicate a rise in demand: in some regions, the number of reviews from tenants decreased.

This information is reported by Delo.ua, citing OLX Real Estate.

From June 2022 to the present, the highest price dynamics were recorded in the Kyiv region. The median rental price for houses in this region increased by 3.7 times: it was previously 30,000 UAH and is now 111,000 UAH.

A significant increase of 3.4 times also occurred in the Kharkiv region. If in June 2022 the rental price for a house was 5,800 UAH, it has now risen to 20,000 UAH. In the Zaporizhzhia region, prices have tripled over four years, from 5,000 UAH to 15,000 UAH.

The rental prices have more than doubled in the following regions:

• Dnipropetrovsk region - 2.5 times, from 12,000 UAH in June 2022 to 30,000 UAH in June 2026;
• Sumy region - 2.5 times, from 4,000 UAH to 10,000 UAH;
• Mykolaiv region - 2.4 times, from 4,000 UAH to 9,500 UAH;
• Zhytomyr region - more than 2 times, from 5,200 UAH to 11,000 UAH.

The price increase does not mean that demand in the market is high. In the Kyiv region, where a record price dynamics was recorded, the number of reviews decreased by 31%.

A similar situation was observed in Dnipropetrovsk (-52%) and Zaporizhzhia (-11%) regions. At the same time, there are regions where demand grew in sync with prices: Sumy (+89%), Mykolaiv (+71%), and Kharkiv (+22%).

In the Zhytomyr region, experts noted stability in demand, which increased by only 5% over four years.

In some regions, the price increase was somewhat more restrained but still noticeable. Among the leaders is the Odesa region, where rental prices increased by 89% - from 23,400 UAH in June 2022 to 44,200 UAH in June 2026.

In the Kherson region, prices rose by 83%, in Zakarpattia - 78%, and in Ternopil - 74%. In the Lviv region, the rental price for houses increased by 53%, in Volyn - by 63%, and in Cherkasy region - by 43%.

Significant growth also occurred in Chernihiv (+38%), Vinnytsia and Poltava (+33%), as well as in Khmelnytskyi (+23%) regions.

However, demand from tenants in most of these regions decreased from -18% to -60%. The only exceptions are Volyn, where the number of reviews increased by 36%, and Chernihiv - +17%.

There are also regions where the average rental price has hardly changed. For example, in the Chernivtsi region, the price increased by 8% - from 20,500 UAH in 2022 to 22,200 UAH in 2026. In the Rivne region, the figure rose from 12,500 UAH to 13,500 UAH, also by 8%.

In the Ivano-Frankivsk region, the indicators remained approximately at the same level: the median rental price for private houses increased by only 2% - from 17,000 UAH to 17,300 UAH.

Among all the regions studied, the only area where a decrease in rental prices was recorded was Kirovohrad. If in June 2022 the median price was 8,800 UAH, then in June 2026 it decreased to 8,000 UAH, a drop of 9%.

At the same time, in these regions, a decline in user activity was observed: the number of reviews on listings decreased by 32-66%.

Changes also affected the structure of the rental market. In most regions, the number of active listings decreased - from 15% to 82%. The only exception was the Mykolaiv region, where the supply, on the contrary, increased by 28%.

Changes in the market for renting private houses reflect deeper processes that have occurred in Ukraine since 2022: population displacement, changes in housing demand, and a reduction in available supply. Price analysis allows us to understand how the war has affected different regions and what factors are currently shaping rental costs.

It is worth noting that in Ukraine, there has been a rapid increase in interest from buyers in suburban real estate in 2026. The demand for purchasing private houses in some regions has risen to 67% compared to the beginning of the year.
