Apartment as a safety cushion: a new trend in the real estate market has emerged in Ukraine.
Ukrainians have actively begun to purchase real estate as a protection for their families, even if it does not imply relocation. The President of the Association of Real Estate Specialists of Ukraine, Olena Haidamaka, noted that buyers are choosing safe regions of the country for investments.
'For some time, we have observed the emergence of a new buyer portrait: people from Dnipro are buying in Ivano-Frankivsk, locking apartments, and returning back to Dnipro.'
According to Haidamaka, the conflict in the eastern part of the country has forced Ukrainians to rethink their views on real estate purchases. Now housing is seen as a kind of insurance for the family in case of danger in their region, which may reflect on housing market prices.
Ukrainians are ready to spend money on real estate in safe areas
Ukrainians are willing to spend significant sums of money on real estate in safe areas, even if this property remains vacant for a long time, just to have a ready shelter for their loved ones in case of danger.
The demand for housing in safe areas is significantly increasing as Ukrainians invest in apartments as a means of protection for their families, even if it means that the property will remain empty for an extended period.
Purchasing real estate as a means of securing safety for the family is becoming increasingly popular among Ukrainians. Conflict situations in certain regions of the country are prompting people to rethink their priorities and view housing not just as an investment, but also as a means of protection in case of danger. This trend may impact the real estate market, increasing demand for housing in safe regions of the country.Read also
