Market and price of real estate in Belarus

According to experts, the real estate market in Belarus has been put on pause. The supply is increasing, prices are falling even in the capital - Minsk. The political and economic crisis, Western sanctions, mass migration of IT employees and other specialists affected this tendency. Potential buyers are not willing to buy real estate immediately, but to save money in the face of uncertainty.

The sale of real estate in Belarus is also significantly hampered due to instability in the foreign exchange market (it is exacerbated by the impact of sanctions), as sellers hardly agree to reduce the cost in dollars (here they prefer to peg the price to the dollar). Demand for real estate is deferred in the medium term, until the situation changes dramatically.

Thus, real estate in Belarus is attractive for domestic buyers, it is not interesting for foreign investors in order to avoid political risks and difficulties in the economy. The exception is foreign investors from the countries of the post-Soviet space, Belarusians who have gone abroad, changed their citizenship, who want to make an acquisition in their homeland in order to profit from renting the property out or leasing it to the relatives.
