FAKTOR Real Estate Agency in Odesa

How buying an apartment in Odesa works

First we narrow the search: district, number of rooms, budget and when you need the keys. We send only what is actually for sale, with prices per metre and completion dates, and we go to viewings with you rather than sending an address by messenger.

Once an apartment is chosen, whether there are arrests or bans, and whether the area in the documents matches the real one. For a new build we also check the construction permit and the entity the sale is registered to. The deposit is fixed by a contract stating the price, the deadline and the refund terms, then come the notary and registration of title.

After registration there is still the handover of keys, meter readings and transferring utility accounts. That is part of our work too: you get an apartment you can live in, not just paperwork.

Apartment prices by district in Odesa

A metre in the city's new builds costs 1 300 $, across apartments generally 1 227 $. The gap between districts is wider than between buildings: from 904 $ a metre in the cheapest district to 1 449 $ in the dearest.

The dearest metre is in Prymorskyi district with Arkadia, Fontan and the centre. The cheapest way into the market is in Khadzhybeiskyi and Peresypskyi districts: an apartment of the same size can cost three times less there than in Arkadia. If you have not chosen a district yet, we start with it, not with a particular building.

Odesa new builds from the developer with no commission

New buildings stand thickest in Prymorskyi district and along Fontanska Doroha, then Frantsuzkyi Boulevard and Genuezka. On Tairova and in Tairovski Sady whole blocks are built at once, and several complexes from one developer stand side by side: they compare easily because the build quality is the same.

Almost every developer offers instalments, on different terms: from a year interest free to several years with a first payment. Some complexes qualify for the eOselia programme: the rate is lower, but the requirements for the building and the borrower are stricter.

Inside one building the price varies with the floor, the view, the section and the phase. Look separately at parking and at how the building will be managed: that sets the service charge for years ahead.

Before buying, see how many apartments in the building are listed at once: when there are many, the price is easier to negotiate. And test the commute: two complexes side by side on a map can be half an hour apart at rush hour, so visit on a weekday morning, not a Sunday afternoon.

Services after the deal

After the purchase we take on valuation for the notary and the bank, legal support, rental with management, renovation, interior design, furniture and fit-out, house construction and support for buyers from abroad.

For owners: sale and valuation

We suggest a price based on similar listings nearby, not on the hoped-for figure. We prepare photos and a description, list the property on our site and portals and work with our buyer base.

We handle viewings and negotiations, put every agreement in writing and take the deal to the notary's signature and the handover of keys to the new owner.
