OLX Group has launched Otodim, a dedicated real estate platform for Ukraine, as the company reports that user engagement across its Ukrainian platforms has rebounded to roughly 92% of 2021 levels. The platform, now in beta, is designed to help buyers, renters, and real estate professionals search for property in a market where online classifieds have become the leading channel for housing searches.

OLX Group announced the launch through official company channels and described it as part of a long-term strategy to expand its real estate services in Ukraine despite the economic disruptions caused by the ongoing war.

A Dedicated Platform Built for Ukraine’s Property Market

Otodim is focused entirely on property listings, separating real estate from OLX Group’s broader classifieds business in Ukraine. The platform includes mobile-first search tools, AI-driven recommendations, and filters specific to local conditions, including whether a listing has access to a shelter or a power backup system.

According to OLX Group, online classifieds now serve as the primary property search channel for 76% of buyers and 82% of renters in Ukraine. The company said demand for digital housing services has grown as people continue to relocate within the country and turn to online tools for more reliable property information.

OLX Group CEO Christian Gisy said Ukraine remains an important market for the company and described the Otodim launch as a natural extension of its local real estate operations.

Engagement Metrics Near Pre-War Benchmarks

OLX Group reported that the number of active listers in its Ukrainian real estate category has recovered to 99% of pre-war figures, while total advertisements have reached 93% of previous levels. Overall user engagement across the company’s Ukrainian platforms now stands at approximately 92% of 2021 activity.

According to the company, buyer engagement for apartment listings increased by more than 12% year-over-year as of March 2026. Median asking rental prices also rose by roughly 17% over the same period, reflecting tightening conditions in urban housing markets.

Revenue and Market Growth

OLX Group said revenue from its Ukrainian real estate segment increased 26% during the first half of fiscal year 2026, making it one of the fastest-growing parts of the company’s regional portfolio. The company did not disclose total revenue figures for the category.

Future updates to the Otodim platform are expected to include independent listing options and in-platform messaging tools aimed at improving communication between buyers, renters, and agents.

Investment and Workforce Presence

Since 2022, OLX Group says it has committed more than $10 million to humanitarian support, infrastructure assistance, and rebuilding efforts in Ukraine, covering medical supplies, logistics operations, and reconstruction projects.

The company currently employs more than 150 people in Ukraine and ranks among the country’s top 100 taxpayers. OLX Group said its continued operations and financial commitments reflect its intention to support Ukraine’s digital and economic recovery over the long term.

The Otodim launch positions OLX Group to capture a larger share of Ukraine’s growing online property market at a time when housing demand is rising, highlighting the growing role of digital platforms in connecting buyers, renters, and sellers.
