The main factors influencing pricing remain the security situation and the volume of offers on the market. It has become known what housing Ukrainians choose for renting in 2026. As reported by “Khvylya”, Delo.ua writes about this, referring to OLX.
The real estate rental market in Ukraine will undergo significant changes in 2026. Residents of large megacities are increasingly deciding to move to small towns and villages.
Experts predict that this year the key trend will be the demand for autonomous housing, which is located at a considerable distance from critical infrastructure facilities. Ukrainians are massively leaving large cities in search of security and energy independence.
The main factors influencing pricing remain the security situation and the volume of offers on the market. If the number of available options decreases, the cost of rent will inevitably go up.
“Rental rates for autonomous housing will grow especially noticeably. In particular, we are talking about apartments with autonomous heating and backup power supply,” analysts emphasize.
A boom in demand for private houses is also expected, as they allow for a higher level of autonomy than apartments in high-rise buildings. This trend is especially pronounced in Kyiv, where people are moving to the suburbs to reduce dependence on centralized communications.
