Expert opinions
We asked developers how the demand in cottage towns has changed since the outbreak of hostilities and how prices have reacted to the war.
Vladimir, project manager of Sosnovy Bor duplexes, commented on the situation on the market of cottage townships in Kyiv:
“Compared to pre-war, the demand for duplexes in our project has fallen by 100%.
Buyers are waiting for the market to crash and prices to fall in order to invest profitably.
There is a lot of pent-up demand. People call and look at real estate. Until the end of the war, they postponed the purchase, but plan to return to this issue later. People are afraid to invest in houses during the war.
Since the beginning of hostilities, building materials have risen in price, and some of them, like glass, aerated concrete, metal of some brands, are in short supply.
Builders are also in short supply. Many went to the front.
In many projects, there will be a delay in the commissioning date of 3-5 months because of this.
The cost of construction in hryvnia increased, while in dollars it remained at the same level.
The cost we have before the war and is now declared in dollars at the exchange rate. The cost in dollars decreased by 10-15%.
The representative of the developer in the Happiness CG, Timofey, said: “in our project, demand fell by 90%. There’s just a lot of pent-up demand. The prices were denominated in dollars. Prices have decreased by 5-10%, but in each case, individual conditions are discussed.”
Sales manager of Montreux Townhouses Alexander reported that “demand in the project fell by 90%. Prices have dropped by 15%.
Andrey, a representative of the builder in OldStories townhouses, said: “In our project, demand fell by 60%. The prices were denominated in dollars. Prices have not changed.
Conclusions:
Demand in cottage townships in Kyiv, according to experts, has decreased by 60-100% since the beginning of the war, but it is gradually resuming.
It was military operations in Kyiv and its environs, “arrivals” that influenced and are still affecting the drop in demand for townhouses and cottages in Kyiv.
Growth or fall in demand depends on the distance from the center, readiness, type of real estate.
