Social networks are spreading information that residents of Odesa are allegedly selling their apartments almost free of charge and leaving the city en masse.

“Residents of the city, apparently, anticipate the approach of the Russian armed forces and subsequent battles for the city, so they decide to get rid of their apartments”, they comment on the so-called news on the network.

StopFake analysts examined the case and determined that the information about selling real estate “at a low price” was untrue. As analysts explained, local realtors note that some city residents are indeed ready to sell their property cheaper, but this phenomenon is temporary.

In general, real estate experts also explain that today real estate prices in Odesa have practically leveled off with pre-war indicators, and the cost of secondary housing has increased by several percent.
