Residents of Ukraine’s capital purchased 11,484 thousand new passenger cars from January through June of this year, and this regional market for new passenger cars remains by far the largest, according to a report by “Ukravtoprom” on its Telegram channel.
As previously reported, according to the association’s data, nearly 33,000 passenger cars were sold in Ukraine during the first half of the year, meaning Kyiv’s share accounts for 35% of total sales.
The Kyiv region ranked second in sales volume with 3,276 units, followed by the Dnipropetrovsk region with 2,273 units, the Kharkiv region with 1,852 units, and the Lviv region with 1,810 units.
In total, these regional markets accounted for 63% of new passenger car sales in Ukraine.
The best-selling model in these markets during the first half of the year was the Renault Duster compact crossover.
As reported, according to data from “Ukravtoprom,” sales of new passenger cars in January–June of this year rose by 0.5% compared to the same period in 2025, with vehicles equipped with traditional engines (gasoline and diesel) accounting for nearly 62% compared to 56.5% last year, while the share of electric vehicles fell to 8.3% from 18.9%.
According to the results for 2025, the top five regions by sales were Kyiv, Kyiv Oblast, Dnipropetrovsk Oblast, Odesa Oblast, and Lviv Oblast, followed by Kharkiv Oblast.
At the same time, Lviv Oblast recorded the highest number of registrations of used passenger cars imported from abroad last year.
Over the most recent available period—from October 2025 to March 2026—approximately 15,800 housing purchase and sale agreements were concluded in Kyiv, according to data from the National Bank of Ukraine, citing the National Information Systems. This is the highest figure among the country’s regions.
By comparison, approximately 19,100 transactions were registered in the capital from January through September 2025. In the Kyiv region, 17,000 contracts were signed during this period; in the Dnipropetrovsk region, 16,800; and in the Kharkiv region, 14,000.
The NBU notes that in the fourth quarter of 2025, overall activity in Ukraine’s housing market was the highest since 2022; however, in the first quarter of 2026, the number of transactions declined significantly. Cumulatively over the last four quarters, housing sales increased by 11% year-over-year.
The NBU’s figures cover housing purchase and sale agreements in both the primary and secondary markets; therefore, they should not be equated solely with sales of apartments in new construction projects.
Pechersk remains the most expensive district in the capital, where the average listed price of housing is about $2,600 per square meter. However, the main sales launches are concentrated in districts with more affordable housing. This is according to a study published by Intergal-Bud.
In the Holosiivskyi district, the average price is estimated at approximately $1,300 per square meter; in the Obolonskyi district, $1,200; and in the Darnytskyi district, about $1,000.
Thus, the average price per square meter in Pechersk is nearly 2.5 times higher than in the Darnytskyi district; however, Darnytsia accounts for the largest share of new housing supply.
“Kyiv’s most expensive district is no longer the center of new construction. The most active markets are in the mid-price segment, where buyers find a balance between cost, transportation accessibility, and infrastructure,” noted Dmytro Izmaylov, head of the analytics department at “Intergal-Bud.”
According to the company’s assessment, Kyiv’s housing market is becoming increasingly “neighborhood-oriented.” Buyers are no longer simply choosing an administrative district or the Dnipro riverfront, but rather a specific location with access to the metro, civil defense shelters, autonomous systems, and existing infrastructure.
If this trend continues, areas with new housing stock, well-developed public transportation, green spaces, and opportunities for further comprehensive development will have the greatest potential for value growth once military risks subside.

In the first half of 2026, 259,853 thousand deaths were recorded in Ukraine, which is 4% more than during the same period last year.
This is the first officially recorded increase in the number of deaths in the last five years, OpenDataBot reported on July 22, citing information from the Ministry of Justice.
As is traditional, the highest number of deaths was recorded in the Dnipropetrovsk region—28,386 thousand cases. This region accounted for nearly one in nine deaths in Ukraine.
In Kyiv, 20,121 thousand deaths were recorded over the six-month period. Compared to the first half of 2025, the figure in the capital increased by 11%—the largest increase among all regions.
For comparison, 249,002 thousand deaths were recorded in Ukraine during the first half of 2025, and 250,972 thousand in 2024.

According to estimates by “Intergal-Bud,” the Darnytskyi district has both the highest level of development activity and the highest concentration of housing near metro stations. This is stated in a study published by “Intergal-Bud.”
Approximately 70,000–74,000 apartments are located within a 15-minute commute of metro stations in the district. In the Holosiivskyi district, this figure is estimated at 53,000–57,000; in the Shevchenkivskyi district, 45,000–48,000; in the Obolonskyi district, 40,000–42,000; and in the Sviatoshynskyi district, 33,000–35,000 apartments.
The Darnytskyi and Dniprovskyi districts together form the largest cluster of modern residential development on the Left Bank. Analysts cite its advantages as a significant volume of new supply, lower apartment prices compared to central districts, proximity to the metro, and well-established commercial and social infrastructure.
An additional factor is the wider selection of properties available for purchase through government mortgage programs.

The Darnytskyi District led Kyiv in the number of sales launches for new residential complexes and new phases of existing projects in 2025—accounting for 27% of all such launches in the capital.
This is according to a study published by Intergal-Bud, whose analysts examined the geography of new construction, the transportation accessibility of districts, and changes in the structure of demand in Kyiv’s primary housing market.
The Holosiivskyi District ranked second in terms of development activity, with a 19% share. The Obolon district accounted for 13% of sales launches, the Shevchenkivskyi district for 11%, and the Sviatoshynskyi district for 9%. Another 20% or so was distributed among the capital’s other districts.
According to the company’s assessment, the full-scale war has altered the geography of Kyiv’s primary market. Development activity is gradually shifting from central districts to areas where comprehensive development projects can be implemented and mid-range housing can be offered.
Until 2022, buyers tended to compare the right and left banks, the prestige of the district, and the distance to the city center. Now, the main criteria are the price of the apartment, access to the metro, shelters, the building’s autonomous power supply, and the ability to use public transportation during air raid alerts.
Existing social infrastructure—such as schools, kindergartens, medical facilities, supermarkets, and other amenities necessary for daily life—is also of great importance.
