I lived in Ukraine from 1994 - 2022 I've seen thousands of guys come "might do some business" I have seen 70% lose everything. I can count the people that made money (including myself) on my fingers.
Yes, can be, becasue doing business is a talent.. it require so much skills, process understanding and so on... Not everyone can be a businessman and this is everywhere, not just in Ukraine.
I had this crazy idea to buy a blown up house and rebuild it into one of those "invisibility" shelters. I see those struggling babushkas and they remind me of my own mother. Its probably totally impractical but if I could figure out how to make it happen I would.
Very interesting report! I think the price difference between Donezk and Kramatorsk reflects also expectations on who will win the war. People may repeat propaganda slogans when asked, but they will not invest or move to a place where they expect a regime change. It would be interesting to look at similar price changes in the Crimea since 2014. First there was a price increase until 2021, and now people sell fast and cheap because they want to leave.
If you can buy a 2 bedroom apartment , why don't NGOs just buy them for displaced people from the east? Gotta to be cheaper than finding/paying for their housing longer term
Thanks for making good efforts. I congratulate you. Please try to make detailed video of real property. And Please also make a real video of village houses
People are listing housing because they want to sell in the reality of the market, feeling bad for them and not buying is counterproductive. The only time it is immoral to "take advanted" of a situation is if you created the fire-sale to take advantage of it.
Sale of agricultural land is only for citizens. Apartments are not agricultural land... in case of apartment you own some sqm in the building... there are no land in ownership. And real estate operations were suspended in first 3 months of war... after it all works fine again.
@@QuizmasterLaw you can buy houses, becasue houses are not located in agricultural land. Agricultural land is a fields and it is not allowed to build anything on them.
Imagine someone trying to visit and purchase an apartment in Bakhmut while the bombs are actively falling. It's like ''if you manage to arrive alive i will make you a good price'' Many people i know from Ukraine had to escape to other countries and they don't even know what's going to happen to their houses apartment etc. For sure prices are down and it must be hard to even do transactions atm.
Olga Russia should repair all damages to infrastructure. They destroyed the shopping mall in Kherson they should repair Mariopol, Mykolaiv, and many cities
@@kennethroth6757 I don't think USA will pay to rebuild anything (based on what they need to pay for it???)... some places could be funded by international organisations (like hospitals, schools), but the rest will be funded by Ukraine and it's own citizens, I am sure.
@@Olga_Reznikova As an American, I truly hope we do contribute in a big way. We have a lot of wealth here, and even a small amount of it could enable Ukraine to transform itself into something much better.
Go tell putin, he started it. If he withdrew his forces to 1991 borders, returned all hostages and started paying reparations, the war would be over in a week
If you are foreiger - for sure. But if you are local who all his life lived on that city - it is different thing... Don't forget it is a city of 1 million people.
If I buy an apartment, and it’s destroyed by orcs, what happens to my investment? Who is responsible for rebuilding the building itself? I’m curious because I’ve always lived in a separate house and buying an apartment is an alien concept
Unfortunately most homeowners insurance policies exclude damage from war or insurrection, so it is a high risk but also probably opportunity for big return if you can stand that.
Government will rebuild the buildings, but mostly people don't want to wait and rebuilding by themselves with helps of local councils. Many buildings in Kyiv are already rebuilt in much better way they used to be.
I think to most Americans these prices are mind boggling. I’m curious what the average California home owner could get in Ukraine or if homes in the 500,000 to a million dollar range even exist in Ukraine.
"if homes in the 500,000 to a million dollar range even exist in Ukraine" - for sure they exist hehe! Just look at real estate around Kyiv and 500 000 usd is very very normal amount for the house if just one bedroom apartment cost is about 100 000 usd. But you never need to compare house cost of one country to another without considering salary. Average salary in USA is about 10 times higher than in Ukraine. So you should multiply cost which you see at least 10 times to get to the idea how much it could cost in the same condition in USA.
@@Olga_Reznikova I’m reaching an age where I’m not really thinking in terms of how much I would earn, but rather how to best enjoy retirement. I know that sounds like kind of an odd thing to say given the things that are happening in Ukraine right now. I really miss the days when I first started watching your channel when you used to show apartments and other homes in your videos. Hopefully someday you will be able to make videos like those again. I really enjoyed them. The funny thing is that I found your channel because I was looking for homes in Germany. The internet is strange sometimes
First of all, I would advise that Ukrainian people in the surrounding areas come back next spring. They can provide hand and sapan services. Only mothers with small children under 14 should stay, but so much logistics and support for the war machine is needed that every pair of hands has to be filled by Ukrainians themselves in the first instance. All people who want to fight for Ukraine should also do so and get to know the winters so that you can enjoy extremely long hot weather. All these houses are needed for them and not for wartime entrepreneurs. I think it's a war crime. We have a red flag for Ukraine.
Hi good evineng ma'am I'm happy to see you good health and safe thanks for sharing this video GodBless yuo allways I'm forgot please regards me to My sweet heart Taya Bernabe asid çañeta subic calapacuan zambales Philippines mabuhay, Slava Ukraine
Probably the rents are holding up is because displaced people who are not looking or able to buy have relocated to Kramatorsk, which is a nice city. Slaviansk is less on a street grid and more spread out. I expect these places will be destroyed as they become the next line of defense.
I can imagine owning a Summer home in Odessa. Or somewhere close to the sea. I really wanted to visit Mariupul this year, but now this dream is ruined for now. 🇺🇸 🇺🇦
Such as idea to itergrate a few development companies say Aldi's a European equipment Russian metals and ural truck center Chinese bridge road developer start with utilities food highways etc itergrate investors from different countries to establish peace Dubai
This is a great time to buy land and prime real estate especially in Kiev and other major cities in Ukraine. When the war ends, hopefully soon, you will laugh all the way to the bank!
The prices also droped in the US in 2008/2009 S/P bank failures and many people loosing their jobs, which is why so many houses ended up in bank "short sales." Now, today, S/P inflation, almost all home prices have almost doubled in value. However, the problem is that rental prices have also gone up. So, holding onto a home and prior mortgage, is now cheaper than renting. As for Russia's WAR against Ukraine, it is a shame that people have to give up their prior "good life" and take such economic, personal, and social losses, just because of the desires of one man to become another "Peter the Great." SLAVA UKRAINI!!!
GOD bless you, your family and all Ukrainian people. I hope the war ends today so people can be safe and enjoy life. Keep your faith and stay strong. 🙏 😎✌️
I guess chances to be destroyed is much higher than it will be part of anything. Mariupol now is under Russian occupation or let's say in Russian eyes it is their territory.. And what? The whole city is destroyed, there are almost no houses survived...
Sprinting sports event called " isnt Russky Mir great!" that goes like this: sprint like hell towards enemy positions and if you dont die then you get to do again until you do. And if you turn around without reaching the goal then you are shot by other Russians watching the event. Event planned by Putin while hes in bed in luxurious palace with his 30 year younger girlfriend. Russky Mir dystopian world reality for Russians. I wonder why they just dont turn the guns around and march on Moscow. Enough insanity already!
Don't you get a nagging feeling about it . Maybe the Ukraine government should step in to place conditions upon foreigners wishing to exploit distressed Ukrainian home owners. Something like an obligation to resell to distressed vendor for next 6 years if vendor desires . At original sale price plus interest and costs but not necessarily at new market value for a possible restored economy. I've looked at prices in a certain place too and it's awkward.
@@philip5940 you are saying it in the way like there is a queue of foreigners fighting to buy ukrainains apartments)) If you will notice, many people was hoping that for 10 000 usd they can get apartment in Kyiv downtown and when they realize that it is still about 100 000 usd and more, their desires doesn't seems to be so much bright))
Thanks Olga for this video. It seems how long this war last also depends on what China will do. If China really will play a constructive role in bringing about peace on Ukrainian terms. To me there are two ways to shorten the way, one is send more weapons to Ukraine. The other way is China form a NATO like alliance with Russia on the condition that Russians leave Ukraine with a lease on Crimea. If China takes the stupid route and determined to contribute to Russia's prolonging its war on Ukraine, then the war will be long. If China does nothing to help bring peace, Putin will drag this war pass this year. So, watch what China does in the next few weeks. I feel it is in China's interest to have peace in Ukraine. Its economy is going through what is call in Japan lost decade. Massive changes in China is happening and getting involve in a war in Europe don't seems to make sense. China needs stability more so now than 6 or 10 years ago. It is a little strange to talk about real estate price, but price has not drop dramatically in Kyiv because 1/3 of Ukraine need to be evacuated and people finds Kyiv a good option. Also, Ukrainians are confident with their ability to succeed. So, there are few milestones I would look at, one is China's decision about the war, two is what will happen to Crimea, three is rather Ukraine will achieve durable peace with Russia.
Yes, and actually nobody knows how long any war can take. You can notice historically everybody was hoping for the short war and getting engaged for years... So there are so many factors but we will hope that the war still will not last for a long time.
@3:00 Olga, you say Bakmut isn't strategic, yet in the US and from Kiev all we hear is how if Russia wins in Bakmut it's a straight path to Europe. Obviously Bahmut was important or Zelenski wouldn't have sent the reserves despite his generals telling him to keep them just in case. NATO instructors and planners are calculating 4 hours in Bahkmut for a UAF soldier. Which is it? Insignificant or Super Important?
Actually no, UAF command have unanimously decided to keep defending Bakhmut in spite of the US saying they should let it go (it's been literally all over the news recently) - yet another clear indicator that Ukrainians are not directed by "the West" and act as they see fit. They see value in Bakhmust and will not give it up. You are a typical troll, spreading misinformation and unbiased claims of conflict within Ukrainian leadership. Besides, the average 4-hour survival rate for UAF soldiers in Bakhumt is something I have literally only heard from you and your troll colleagues
The idea that Bakhmut doesn't have strategic meaning is not mine - everyone say it in Ukraine and in Western news. It has political meaning, as I said.... A month ago they were fighting for Soledar, which had 10 000 population before war and Russia lost 15 000 soldiers to take it. Which meaning it has?? Nothing. All those cities are small and build around salt mines. the only strategic and important cities are Sloviansk and Kramatorsk due to some industry at least.
To be honest if I bought a property out there, with my luck, I might as well paint a bulls eye on the side of it ! Its what we in the UK call a bullet magnet. So I will not be buying; I think Ukraine suffered more than enough. But the Russikies seem to be running out of cannon fodder so prices will eventually pick up dramatically, especially when the Ukrainians start going back home after hostilities end.
It's better if children aren't exposed to the horrors. Anyway there are many Ukraine women in Ukraine armed forces . Zelensky doesn't want mothers to fight in war .
@Philip No true. At the border nobody asks if you have children and all women can pass. I saw the photos of fallen soldiers on the wall in Kyiv. Everyone was a man
Shout out to putin's trolls, who will type unbelievably vile, stupid, unbiased things in comment sections and then go about their day as if they were actual human beings
I misread the title. I thought it said property in Warsaw 😂$5000 for luxury apartment in Warsaw. Sure. I’ll take it. Time to put glasses on 😂 I think rent is down quite a bit. A lot of people who left the country are trying to rent to make some money and so there is a lot for rent but no so many people. I think rent is very negotiable. But selling prices seem pretty stable.
Not sure I understand how a horrific war is going on and vacation properties are still being sold. US politicians feel safe enough to come and go. Hmm.
@@Mountainrock70 There is TOO MUCH INSTABILITY there in Ukraine due to the Special Military Operation. You don't know what government you will be living under the next day due to the advancing Russian troopers.
@@Olga_Reznikova There is TOO MUCH INSTABILITY there in Ukraine, Olga, due to the advancing Russian troopers. You don't know what government you will be living under the next day.
Need to know the legal terms before I want buy property. After Some of those properties may become Russian.. Probably will. Since Hungary , Romania, Poland and Russia want to divide the country up to claim as their own.
