Buyers of real estate during the war changed priorities. Focus explored what parameters of new housing are interested in Ukrainians and what is no longer as important as before the war. In Ukraine, demand for apartments in new buildings is gradually increasing, but demand has not yet reached the pre -war level. The focus tells about it in the new article "Sorry, sold. What apartments are bought in new buildings and whether to expect for a price explosion".

"From the end of winter to this day, the average monthly number of transactions has increased 2. 5-3 times," said Irina Mikhalev, CMO Alliance Novobud. -In June there was a small squeezing, I think, because of the massive shelling of Kiev and undermining the Kakhovka hydroelectric power station. In July. The situation has stabilized somewhat and now we have a confident increase in sales.

" Experts surveyed by focus also reported that since the beginning of the summer in Ukraine has increased investors who buy new apartments for rent for a long time or intention to sell an apartment after a while.
