Village House Tour / Buying a House in a Ukrainian Remote Village During the War 2023

[@chris_bayern]

When my parents grew up in my village 50 years ago some houses looked similar like this (in Bavaria/Germany). But now it has developed very much and there are no houses without water anymore. Most houses, streets etc are new and comfortable. Now a house costs 800.000 Euro, because its in the Munich area. If you invest now in the Kyiv region, in 10 years it will be worth much more.

[@ThinkUkraine]

I was in Bavaria last year. It looked amazing 😍 You are right with investment ideas but to invest money firstly you need to save money) And it’s not easy when you are a Woman😇😎

[@butchshadwell3613]

In the US we often offer less than what the owner is asking. They settle for a little less. Can you imagine getting water from the well and using the toilet in winter? In addition to the purchase price, you will have many repair expenses too.

[@ThinkUkraine]

I know, but the usual online advertisement price for such houses is 5-8.000 USD. I am looking for a house for my budget

[@trevmacc]

Hi Vita,some big houses but a lot of work needs doing on some,i bet the furniture ,paintings and other stuff would be worth a lot to someone abroad and probably you could make your money back selling the stuff ,there would be plenty of buyers i bet for old soviet stuff ,good luck with house hunting ,i am surprised you want to move to the country side,love to you all,take care

Hello Brian! The prices here are unreasonable as well, especially now when so many buildings were destroyed by ruzzians. The only way out is to drive to remote villages and to ask locals to help. Because at online sites the prices are crazy 🙈

[@stevetheangle]

i had been looking for land in Cherkasy area for 2 years before the war began, i saw some remote land that were delightful & by the river, or on some of its tributaries. i've been here as a volunteer sonce the war began and i wonder whether i should start looking again. i spent my retirement savings over the past 2 years so i no longer have cash in the bank. however i have pensions income each month. so i might start looking again. my original plan was to build an off grid house by the river as a home from home (England), now i wonder if i should buy a small house on a plot of land and fix it up! Cherkasy is not so far from Kyiv or Boryspil, so i may go up to Cherkasy and start looking again )

[@ThinkUkraine]

You should keep in mind that the prices have gone up significantly. Because internally displaced people bought all real estate in the countryside.

Hello Phil! Foreigners can buy property but they are not allowed to buy land. With such village houses I don’t know how to solve this issue because each house has a huge piece of land. And I think land costs more than these old houses 🙂

I live on a small farm out West in the USA. It's beautiful. But I would love to buy cheap property in Ukraine, because it's like Old Europe. My great grandparents all on my mom's side are from Sweden. My great grandparents on my fathers side are from Wales, and the rest were Mormon pioneers. I like Old Europe though, and Western Europe is too modern for me. I really like the Carpathian Mountains of Ukraine. I wish, I knew your address so I could write you.

Yeah it´s the business baby😁The free market rules. Depending on where in Cherkasy its an acceptable distance from Kiew for a datscha. You´re not really considering to buy that dilapidated shed, are you? It`d cost you a fortune to make it habitable

Vita.....ZDRASTE or hello😄😃....The prices are not expensive and they are suitable....even that $700 house has a reasonable price....even if it doesn't have any facilities.....that $2000 house at the end of the video is suitable for you...only As long as you don't have a neighbor who is a fan of Lenin and the Soviet Union... Of course, a good neighbor is important and you must have electricity.... These houses are suitable for the summer season and in the winter it is unbearable for the new generation. ...but still, in my opinion, the prices are not expensive at all....

[@johndewey6358]

If the well water and piping that do not freeze you can install an electric water pump at the well to pump the water to your pipes. I would look for a home with a good roof and no sign of leaks in the ceiling and walls. Also no cracked walls. Different heat sources (Gas +Wood burning stove+Electricity) + good neighbours. In my past experiences with wars it is not unusal to see the prices and rents going up multiple times in the countryside. Although Putin has been bombing the Ukrainian cities and power infrastructure, because of good Ukrainian air defences he has not been able to send his airplanes to do more damage than his missiles can do. Missiles are typically used as psychological weapons and for "Point destruction" as opposed to leveling multiple blocks of cities that airplanes can do. If the air war gets more serious you will see the price of these country homes going even higher. I am sorry you and the rest Ukrainians are experiencing these things. Slava Ukraini

[@GridDownSurvival]

@@ThinkUkraine that's what I mean by economics of scale..

[@GridDownSurvival]

@ThinkUkraine I also think that's why supporting Ukraine is such a bargain for the west.. Ukraine for any flaws it has. A good country with good democracy aspirations.. much like the USA when fighting for independence.. at the same time Catherine the not so great was trying to erase any trace of Ukrainian history.. I actually am angry at the US congress for the games they are playing.. if French support for the American revolution was a partisan topic like support for Ukraine is now.. the USA would have lost at Yorktown and lost the war of independence

Hey, Vita and family! To me, these houses are charming with plenty of potential. It would be nice if someone could create a nonprofit organization (tax deductible official charity group) to rehabilitate these old houses with no water or indoor toilet and ancient plumbing and no internet or cell phone service, add off-grid features like solar panels, small wind turbines, rain gutters & barrels, hiring Ukrainians to do the work, then offering to Ukrainians as affordable homes, along the lines of Habitat for Humanity and Homes for Heroes (disabled military veterans) in the US, but without the burden of a mortgage that those programs include. Instead just have the new owners take on the utilities or if successfully off-grid, just to pay property taxes and volunteer regularly in the local community somehow. So the people and animals of Ukraine can have safe places to live and be comfortable, and the locals can have good neighbors. I don't know how it would all work, but it's pieces of an idea that came to me. Bright blessings and Slav Ukraine! 💖

[@ThinkUkraine]

Hey, Belinda♥️ It’s a great idea! Honestly once I thought about a possibility of buying neighboring houses, repairing them and making rehabilitation area for military veterans there. But it needs investments. Maybe in future videos I will suggest this idea to our friends abroad. Thank you!♥️♥️♥️
