Comparison of demand and supply

In August 2025, the number of apartments available for rent in the largest cities of Ukraine decreased by 8%. The largest reduction in supply was recorded in Kharkiv – almost twice compared to last year. Meanwhile, the rental market in Poland showed a slight increase in supply – by 1.5%. Regarding demand, it decreased in both countries: in Ukraine, the number of inquiries dropped by 11%, and in Poland – by 15%.

Among inquiries in Ukraine, 59% concern one-bedroom apartments, while in Poland two-bedroom apartments are more popular (50% of demand).

Currently, the most significant increase in supply in the primary market is observed in the Transcarpathian and Cherkasy regions, while a significant reduction in listings has been noted in Volyn and Kyiv.

It is also worth noting that the sale of real estate is an important legal process that requires serious preparation. For a successful transaction, the seller must gather the entire necessary package of documents.

Thus, the rental market in Ukraine offers significant benefits for tenants compared to Poland, with a noticeable decrease in supply. These factors may influence further changes in the real estate market of both countries, which, in turn, highlights the importance of monitoring these trends for potential tenants and investors.
