PRIVATE HOUSES IN SUBURBS OF KYIV, KHARKIV, ODESA, DNIPRO AND LVIV FROM JULY TO SEPT INCREASE IN PRICE

Private houses in the suburbs of Kyiv, Kharkiv, Odesa, Dnipro and Lviv from July to September 2021 have risen in price by an average of 3-5%, President of the Association of Real Estate Specialists (Realtors) of Ukraine Yuriy Pita has told Interfax-Ukraine. “Over the past three months, a slowdown in the growth rate of their cost has been observed in the market for private estates. At the moment, the demand for private houses has been met by almost 90%,” Pita said. According to him, houses with an area of up to 150 square meters, located in the near suburbs (up to 20 km) of million-plus cities, were actively getting more expensive. The cost of other properties in the third quarter increased insignificantly, within 2.5-3%.
According to the association, a gradual decrease in the demand has been observed since the second half of this year: from July to September, the number of potential buyers decreased by 10%.
“Gradually, the supply begins to prevail over the existing demand, this is a significant factor for pricing in the segment of private houses,” the specialist said.
According to him, by the end of the year the price situation in the segment of private estates will remain stable with insignificant price fluctuations within 1.5% for small houses.
“According to the forecasts of the association, the cost of private houses is the ceiling for the existing demand. And further price increases will not be economically justified. Price stability may last until April 2022,” he said.
According to Pita, prices of land plots for private development in the third quarter increased by an average of 5%. At the same time, more than 60% of the demand is concentrated on plots with an area of 8-15 acres with supplied communications in picturesque locations at a distance of up to 20 km from the city limits. The demand for plots for construction of cottage townships remains stable, but here the choice of options is not very large, the expert notes.
He believes that price stability in the segment of land plots can hold out at least until April 2022, the start of a new active season.

OVER 1,200 PATIENTS WITH CORONAVIRUS NOW IN KYIV HOSPITALS

More than 1,200 patients with coronavirus are being treated in the capital’s medical institutions, the vast majority of them are in serious condition, Kyiv Mayor Vitali Klitschko said.
“Today in the city’s hospitals there are more than 1,200 patients with coronavirus. These people are in serious condition. The vast majority of them need oxygen support. Almost 100% of those hospitalized are unvaccinated. And this is one of the main arguments why you need to be vaccinated. Therefore, if you do not care about your health, think about your parents, relatives, friends. Their safety is your responsibility too. I really do not want to go back to the period when more than 50 people died from the virus in a day. And now the virus is more aggressive. The disease is more difficult and causes complications,” the mayor said on the air of the Freedom of Speech (Svoboda Slova) program on Ukraina TV Channel.
According to Klitschko, more than 1.7 million vaccinations were made in Kyiv today, more than 880,000 vaccinations with the first dose and more than 890,000 – with two doses. In particular, almost 90% of teachers are vaccinated. Nevertheless, the percentage of people vaccinated remains high.
“We cannot make vaccination compulsory. But if strict restrictions are imposed, if, for example, you want to go to a catering establishment or to some public events, you will not do this without vaccination. Sorry, but this is a concern, first of all, about the most valuable thing – people’s health and lives,” Klitschko said.
