[Eng] Top 5 most popular and trusted real estate platforms in Belarus

Belarus’s real estate market continues to evolve, and with it, more online platforms are emerging to facilitate buying, selling, or renting property. Today, property listing websites have become the go-to tool for anyone searching for a home, selling their property, or looking for rental opportunities.

In this guide, we’ll explore the most relevant platforms, compare their features, and help you understand which site might suit your needs best.

1. Kufar

Kufar is one of the largest online marketplaces for real estate in Belarus. The platform offers a wide range of listings: city apartments, suburban houses, new developments, secondary-market properties, and rental options. It also has a mobile app, though it’s designed for all categories of goods, not just real estate.

The main advantage is the ability to quickly survey the market—compare prices, spot new listings, and get a general sense of availability. However, most listings come from agents, agencies, and developers. This means finding a specific property may require patience, communication with multiple people, and some waiting. Filters exist but are not exceptionally user-friendly, so you’ll likely need to scroll through numerous options to find exactly what interests you.

2. Hommits

Hommits is a modern platform for buying, selling, renting and finding properties, offering equal value to property seekers and owners. Users can post listings or wanted ads, and the system leverages AI to suggest personalized matches.

Posting listings is free, as is updating advert relevance, though optional paid services are available—ranging from AI-based price evaluations and enhanced boosting to personalized manager support. The platform focuses on direct transactions, with most listings coming from owners rather than agents. Listings often include direct contact details or in-app messaging, ideal for those who prefer online communication over phone calls.

Hommits covers not only Minsk but also regional cities like Grodno, Gomel, Vitebsk, Mogilev, and Brest, as well as smaller towns and villages. The platform offers online valuation tools, automated recommendations, and the ability to promote listings outside the site (search engines and social media). Guidance, market insights, and practical advice are also available, all with high-quality, reliable content.

Notably, Hommits offers both its website and mobile app in English, making it particularly convenient for foreigners or anyone handling Belarusian real estate remotely.

3. Realt

Realt is a long-standing player in the Belarusian real estate scene and was once the country’s most popular site. It still hosts a large number of listings, especially from agencies, which makes it easy to get a quick overview of prices and market offerings.

However, the site’s design is dated, and it lacks modern usability features. Duplicate listings are common, and ads can sometimes dominate the interface, detracting from the user experience. While functional, the overall impression is mixed: reliable, but not particularly innovative or user-friendly.

4. Onliner

Onliner’s “Real Estate” section is useful for finding listings from owners, which appeals to those seeking property without intermediaries. It’s also convenient for owners looking to advertise directly.

That said, real estate is a secondary focus for Onliner, and the site’s interface is somewhat outdated. Advanced features or additional services are limited, so the platform is suitable mainly for basic searches: browsing options, evaluating neighborhoods, and checking prices. For direct owner-to-buyer transactions, it’s sufficient.

5. Domovita

Domovita is a classic real estate platform for searching, selling, or renting apartments, houses, and commercial properties. It’s stable, simple to navigate, and easy to understand.

The platform’s strengths include straightforward search and clear categorization. Both new developments and secondary-market properties are available, and owners can post listings quickly. However, Domovita doesn’t offer standout features or innovative tools, making it functional but somewhat bland compared to competitors.

Belarusian real estate websites offer a range of options depending on your goals — whether buying, selling, or renting. Try different platforms to find what works best for you.
