Kyiv – a beautiful, constantly growing city, where new residential complexes, shopping and office centers, cottage towns are built every year. Real estate in Kyiv is always in demand. Many residents of neighboring cities and towns and guests from other regions dream of settling here. The people of Kiev themselves periodically move, improving their living conditions, or vice versa, they leave for smaller housing. Demand for the purchase of inexpensive apartments, houses, cottages, plots is always very high here. Buying real estate in Kiev inexpensively is also desired by business representatives who actively acquire shops, offices, retail space, salons, cafes and other infrastructure.

Purchase and sale of real estate in Kiev on the secondary from the owner and in new buildings without many intermediaries are interested. Trends in the Kiev real estate market, the features of the districts and localities of the capital, the most popular with buyers, as well as the components that affect the cost of secondary real estate and new buildings, we will consider below.

What we buy

Kiev real estate is always in price. What factors can increase or decrease the value of real estate in the capital? Houses, apartments, rooms – their  price depends on the location of the property, the size of the area, the service life and condition of the building, the degree of infrastructure development, the prestige of the microdistrict and the district, the presence of green areas, parks, and reservoirs in the vicinity. The most affordable option is to buy a hotel in Kyiv; or a typical high-rise building. If you want to buy a private house, then the cheapest options – these are small houses on the outskirts of the city in relatively undeveloped areas.

Did you decide to buy an inexpensive plot in Kyiv or buy a cheap cottage in Kyiv? The cost of these objects is affected by the degree of remoteness from the main infrastructure facilities, the size and condition of the site, the construction area. The surrounding landscapes are also important, as well as the presence in the vicinity of metro stations, minibus or bus stops.

Commercial real estate in Kyiv is also in constant demand. When buying this type of real estate, not only the location and area of the building (or office) are important, but also the availability of parking, convenient access roads, advantageous proximity to traffic-generating shopping and office centers.

Secondary market or new buildings?

The secondary real estate market in Kiev is attractive due to prices, which are usually lower than in new buildings, as well as the fact that when buying an apartment, house or office on the secondary market, the buyer has the opportunity to immediately move into a residential area or start exploit or reconstruct non-residential property.

At the same time, new – this is a fairly homogeneous social composition of residents, a well-maintained adjacent territory plus new communications, often – own infrastructure and, as a rule, the original layout and modern design of the facade of the building. Usually, apartments in new residential buildings are more spacious, but the decrease in the purchasing power of the population has led some developers to design small-sized apartments, duplexes, townhouses and economy class blockhouses in some cases. So the choice of buyers of new buildings in Kiev is huge.

Where we buy

Obviously, the location of the building affects the cost of many types of real estate, so you need to navigate the advantages and disadvantages of city districts. Of course, in general, the right bank of the capital is considered more prestigious than the left (except, perhaps, Borshchagovka and the periphery of the Goloseevsky district). It means that buying an inexpensive apartment in Kiev is easier in the Dnieper, Darnytsky or Desnyansky districts (as well as finding an inexpensive house or cottage).

It is also no secret that it cheap to buy housing in Kiev it is easier on the outskirts of the city than in the central locations.

So, let's look at the areas of the right bank of the capital in more detail:

• Do you want to buy real estate in Kiev without intermediaries in the secondary housing Goloseevsky district? This part of the city is known for its huge park and diverse housing stock: from "Stalin" to to modern LCDs. It is worth saying that this area is developed quite unevenly: its center – these are large entertainment and shopping centers ("Ocean Plaza"), the old botanical garden and the sports complex "Olympic". VDNKh deserves special attention. At the same time, there are industrial zones on the territory of the district, as well as the residential areas of Teremki 1 and Teremki 2 and the outskirts. The main advantages of the area – an extensive park area, transport equipment, a variety of housing and commercial real estate options for purchase.
• Obolonsky district is considered one of the most prestigious and comfortable in the capital. The Obolon massif is proud of its beautiful embankment and is in high demand among buyers, and the Oasis-Obolon – a place where it is easy to buy a one-room, two-room or three-room apartment in Kyiv in an elite new building. You can buy a house in Kyiv inexpensive in the area of Pushcha-Vodytsya or not far from the Heroiv Dnipra metro station. And near Vodogon you can find a cottage or buy an inexpensive house near Kiev. In this area, sale of secondary apartments in the old houses of the Minsk or Vyshgorod massifs is also carried out, commercial real estate is often offered on Kurenevka and Petrovka.
• Are you interested in  real estate in Kiev - the secondary housing market and the primary market Pechersky district? This is an area where museums and business centers, art galleries and powerful LCDs coexist. The business, historical and cultural center of the city is prestigious, environmentally friendly and landscaped. Of course, as a rule, & nbsp; inexpensive new buildings in Kyiv are concentrated on the outskirts, which means that only elite options are waiting for you here (not counting the area closer to the Lybidska metro station). Here it is easy to buy a new building in Kyiv from a developer, and local residential complexes (Novopecherskie Lipki, Prestige Hall, etc.) – this is a residential complex of class "luxury", "business" and «comfort».
• It is easy to buy an apartment in Kiev inexpensively in the Podolsky district (the only exception will be Podil itself – the historical part, located almost in the center of the city). On the map you can see that the outskirts of this area are not equipped with metro stations and are not sufficiently landscaped in comparison with the massifs of the Shevchenkovsky or Pechersky district, that is, you can buy a 1-, 2-, 3-room apartment in Kiev on Vynohradar or on Kurenevka at a very, very favorable price. By the way, this area is being built up quite intensively, so here you can easily buy an apartment in a new building in Kiev inexpensively.
• Are you interested in sales of housing in Kiev on the secondary market Svyatoshinsky district? This area is convenient for life: transport interchanges, metro, developed infrastructure, a significant number of green areas, ponds and lakes. It is believed that there are not enough entertainment venues here, but this is not such a big drawback, because getting to cinemas, shopping malls (near the ring road), nightclubs and restaurants in neighboring areas is not difficult. Here it is easy to find a cheap apartment, a hostel, or buy a room in Kyiv inexpensively, because the local housing stock – these are more than 1000 houses, most of which were built in the 20th century. Also, in the Berkovets area, it is easy to buy an inexpensive house or cottage.
• Solomensky district is known for the railway station and Zhuliany international airport. At the same time, the area itself can be called quiet and cozy. The infrastructure is developed here, both social and entertainment (numerous shopping and entertainment centers, Protasov Yar with its ski complex, etc.). In addition, in this part of the city there are many green areas, and also – educational and scientific institutions. The main problem of the region – traffic jams.
• Heterogeneous Shevchenko district – this is a prestigious and very beautiful Old Town (Landscape Alley, BZ) and cozy Lukyanovka, Shulyavka with the Kyiv Zoo and green areas of Nyvok, inexpensive housing Syrets and Tatarka. Here, historical monuments and temples coexist with nightclubs and entertainment centers. The disadvantages of the district include very old communications and very dense buildings in some of its parts.

Now let's pay attention to the left bank:

• Darnitsa district pleases with an abundance of entertainment and mid-level retail establishments, a variety of new buildings and prospects. This area – very densely populated. In addition, it includes places that are very remote from transport lines and are not well equipped (for example, Krasny Khutor or Bortnichi).
• Desnyansky district – it is a self-sufficient array of Troyeshchyna with a large selection of affordable apartments, a cozy Lesnoy massif and remote Bykovnya. These places cannot be called the most popular among Kyivans and guests of the capital. Nevertheless, infrastructure is developed in Troyeshchyna and Lesnoy, and Bykovnya is famous for the surrounding forests. You can buy a house or a plot here in the village of Troyeshchina and on Bykovna.
• Finally, the Dniprovsky district – this is the most ecological part of the left bank. It is green and very beautiful here: Rusanivka, Hydropark, beaches on the Dnieper, etc. In terms of entertainment and social infrastructure, the area is developed heterogeneously: well-maintained Bereznyaki and Nikolskaya Slobodka or a remote array of DVRZ. By the way, real estate prices here are the lower, the farther the housing or office building is from the Dnieper and the metro.

The price of the issue

Prices for apartments in Kiev have been gradually decreasing for a long time , so that it will not be difficult for those who wish to choose inexpensive housing, focusing on available funds. Recently, the residential real estate market has been gradually recovering: there are those who want to purchase elite new buildings in Novopecherskie Lipki, Vozdvizhenka or apartments in Oasis-Obolon. At the same time, inexpensive housing and commercial real estate options are always in demand. It has also become much easier to buy an office cheaply in Kiev now - prices have fallen along with a decrease in business activity and the commissioning of large office centers.

The general trend is as follows: Buyers are trying to look for real estate without intermediaries, using ad aggregators, portals and real estate sites in Kiev. After all, one of the easiest ways to save – this is the acquisition of a house, dacha, office, apartment or plot without the help of a realtor.

Recently, real estate agencies in Kyiv have lost many buyers who have switched to developers on the primary real estate market. At the same time, developers offer capital real estate to buyers directly, through their sales departments, and therefore allow additional savings on the services of intermediaries.

Buyers increasingly prefer the primary market, realizing that the choice of real estate in a new house, residential complex or cottage the town guarantees them a more or less homogeneous composition of residents, the presence of recreation areas and parking lots in the local area. Many LCDs offer residents their own kindergartens, schools, shops, fitness centers, etc. Whereas the secondary housing and commercial real estate market often means outdated buildings and communications, underdeveloped infrastructure, lack of playgrounds and an adequate number of parking spaces.

The primary and secondary market is widely represented on the Internet, where you can buy, sell or change housing. By the way, the «classic» property exchange in Kiev is now almost not in demand, more often the exchange is carried out through the sale and purchase, and not directly between the two owners as before.

To find the ideal one for the price, location and other parameters of the option, you should pay attention to  real estate sites in Kiev, which offer many options for every taste - in the database of real estate offers of all types in the capital there are more than 40 thousand options.
