In 2025 the housing purchase market in Kherson region showed an increase in buyer interest despite the difficult security situation and limited supply. Over the year the number of listings for resale housing in the region decreased by 3% compared to December 2024. At the same time demand rose by 19%, which indicates continued interest in buying property even under conditions of war.
These data were published by the verified real estate marketplace DIM.RIA in its annual analytical report for 2025.
Price dynamics in the secondary market were uneven. The average cost of a one-room apartment increased by 23% and is about $17,000. Meanwhile two-room apartments became cheaper by 12% — to $21,000, and three-room apartments lost 10% in price and on average cost $29,000.
However, the real picture of housing sales in the region looks much more modest than the dry statistics. As of now only 19 active apartment sale listings were posted on DIM.RIA in Kherson — in a city that before the full-scale war had nearly 300,000 residents and where thousands of apartments were sold annually.
The oldest of these listings is dated April 2024, the newest was published on January 14. Most of the listings have been sitting on the sites for months with no movement.
The cheapest among current offers is a one-room apartment for $13,000. It is located on the fourth floor of a five-story building in the KHBK microdistrict on Illia Kulyk Street.
The highest listed price is $60,000. For this money a two-level apartment of over 90 square meters on the 9th–10th floors on Tekstylnykiv Avenue is offered, which has long been considered dangerous due to shelling and Russian drones.
In the same price segment there is another offer — a three-room apartment of 89 square meters in the Tavriyskyi district for $55,000, which is currently considered relatively safer for living.
It is the Tavriyskyi and Shumenskyi districts that remain the most represented on the market. Of the 19 listings, seven fall in the Tavriyskyi district. Here you can find two-room apartments for $16,500–$18,000, one-room apartments for $17,000–$19,000.
There are also much more expensive options: for example, a two-room apartment for almost $36,000 in a residential complex with new renovations where, as stated in the listing, people lived only two months after the house was commissioned, and all furniture and appliances remain with the buyer. Also in this district a four-room apartment is being sold for $48,000 and a three-room apartment for $30,000.
In the Shumenskyi district the selection is somewhat smaller — five offers. Here two-room apartments are sold for $21,000 and $28,000, three-room ones for $26,000 and $35,000.
At the same time offers are appearing in areas with increased security risks. In particular, the apartment on Tekstylnykiv Avenue mentioned above. In the Shumenskyi microdistrict a three-room apartment on Ivan Bohun Street is being sold for $25,500.
Recall that in the Korabel microdistrict in Kherson, despite the constant drone threat and lack of basic utilities, now live about 200 people. According to the head of the Kherson OVA Oleksandr Prokudin, evacuation from this district is ongoing, however some residents refuse to leave. No mass return of the population there has been recorded; there are no children among the residents.
Alongside specialized real estate services, housing sale offers in Kherson region are also actively posted on nationwide platforms, in particular OLX. There prices and the format of listings often differ significantly from the apartment market in multi-storey buildings.
Among the current offers is the sale of a private house with a land plot of seven sotkas in the Mlyniv area. The owner estimated the object’s value at over 2.7 million UAH, while the listing itself states that the price is negotiable.
Ads for apartments in new buildings also appear on OLX. For example, a two-room apartment of 74 square meters with autonomous heating is offered for over 1 million UAH or $38,000. The description states that there is no commission and turnkey registration is included in the price.
The sale of housing has also actively moved to social networks. Realtors promote properties through TikTok. They shoot short videos, make photo slideshows set to music with minimal descriptions. In such listings you can find one-room apartments for $11,500–$12,000 in the Shumenskyi district, housing for $18,000–$19,500 in the Tavriyskyi district, as well as three-room apartments for $30,000.
Private houses are also being sold. For example, in the Pivnichnyi district a house of 74 square meters with a plot of five sotkas is offered for $38,000 with the possibility of bargaining. Announcements about the sale of apartments in new buildings near the bus station also appear, although such offers are rare.
At the same time journalists were unable to obtain comments from realtors regarding market activity or actual deals, since specialists refuse to communicate due to the security situation.
Overall, Kherson region in 2025 entered the list of regions with the highest rates of price growth for secondary housing — plus 23% over the year.
On the primary market full-fledged analytics are practically absent. Reports note a lack of data, which is likely related to the hostilities, high risks for developers and the de facto absence of new construction. New housing in Kherson region is not being built today and is almost not sold — the market relies exclusively on secondary real estate.
