Cyprus Property Market 2025: Balanced Prices and Robust Investor Interest

As we move deeper into 2025, the Cyprus real estate market demonstrates a remarkable blend of stability and strong buyer demand. According to insights from Marinos Kineyirou, President of the Cyprus Real Estate Agents Registration Council, this momentum follows a resilient performance throughout the previous year, driven by sustained interest from both local buyers and international investors.

Steady Demand from Diverse Buyers

Demand continues to hold firm, especially among purchasers from non-EU countries like Israel and Lebanon, who remain undeterred by geopolitical tensions. These buyers are frequently committing significant capital, underscoring Cyprus’s attractiveness as an investment destination.

Robust Supply Supports Market Stability

A fundamental pillar supporting this steady market is the availability of a healthy and varied property supply. From affordable houses and villas to more premium properties, the market caters to diverse preferences and budgets. If global conditions remain stable, forecasts point to continued market activity throughout 2025 with prices maintaining current levels.

Price Trends in Context: Cyprus vs Europe

Eurostat data reveals that while many European countries are experiencing rapid housing inflation averaging 5.7% year-on-year, Cyprus records a more tempered increase of just 2% in Q1 2025. This moderate rise positions Cyprus as an attractive and less volatile market within the Eurozone.

What’s Fueling Buyer Decisions?

Despite relatively high property prices posing hurdles for some local buyers amid ongoing cost-of-living challenges, mortgage rates have eased gradually, providing some relief. Meanwhile, the subdued returns on traditional bank deposits are prompting domestic and foreign investors to turn toward real estate as a more reliable wealth preservation and growth strategy.

Clarifying the Role of Licensed Estate Agents

Contrary to some perceptions, licensed agents do not inflate prices artificially; their mandate is to negotiate optimal deals for clients while enabling transparent transactions. Property pricing remains primarily influenced by owner expectations and the natural interplay of supply and demand.

Regional Market Highlights

  • Limassol remains the hotspot for luxury and high-end properties.
  • Paphos has witnessed significant upticks in buyer interest domestically and internationally over the last two years.
  • Larnaca is gaining traction for smaller units, particularly one- and two-bedroom apartments in suburban locales. Although prices have risen here, they present more affordable options compared to cities like Nicosia and Limassol, appealing to value-conscious buyers.

Looking Forward

The Cypriot property market is showing a healthy balance of vibrancy and stability in 2025, making it an enticing arena for investors while acknowledging ongoing affordability challenges for residents. Continued close monitoring and adaptive strategies will be vital to maintaining this positive trajectory.
