Dim.ria, a real estate marketplace, and robota.ua, a job search platform, have presented an analytical study that shows how long and in what areas you need to work to buy a home in Ukraine.

As part of the analysis, we found out the cost of real estate in regional centers and in the country's regions, taking into account all available offers from users and builders.

The experts considered the average salary of the five most popular professions and the highest income professions in the three largest cities of Ukraine as of January 2024. 

They also analyzed the ratio of salaries to housing costs in terms of full monthly salary without deductions. It is important to note that all estimates do not take into account possible changes in real estate values due to economic factors over the years.

Here's a look at the cost of real estate in Ukraine and what professions you should choose to buy an apartment as soon as possible.

How many years you need to work to buy your own home: research by region

In the primary real estate market in regional centers, as of January 2024, the highest average salary was recorded in Kyiv - UAH 23,600. Accordingly, the average cost of a one-bedroom apartment is UAH 3,299,336. This means that to buy such a home, you need to work 140 months at this salary, which is equivalent to 12 years. In Lviv, this period is 11 years, and in Dnipro, 10 years.

In the regions that are not regional centers, a study of the ratio of average income to housing costs showed that the highest real estate prices are observed in Ivano-Frankivsk, Zakarpattia, and Cherkasy regions. In Ivano-Frankivsk region, the average price of a one-room apartment is UAH 1,839,190, and the average salary is UAH 17,848. That is, to buy a home, you need to work 103 months at this salary, which is 9 years. In Zakarpattia and Cherkasy regions, this period is 8 years. The shortest period for buying was recorded in Chernihiv region - 5 years.

In the capital, to buy an apartment for UAH 3,070,637, you need to save up the average monthly salary for 11 years. In Lviv, this period is 10 years, in Vinnytsia and Uzhhorod - 9 years.
