Decreased demand for Real Estate in Cyprus among Europeans

  • The real estate market in Cyprus is active, and the prices of seaside properties continue to rise. There has been a shift in demand for houses and apartments, with investors from non-EU countries becoming the main buyers. According to statistics, property prices increased by 5.9% in the first quarter of 2023, and the price index rose by 2% since the end of 2022. In April 2023, over 530 building permits were issued, with a total value of 265.3 million euros and a total area of 149.1 thousand square meters.
  • During the first four months of 2023, 2,351 building permits were issued, which is 6.4% less than the previous year. The total value of the permitted projects increased by 21.6%, and the total area increased by 8.6%.
  • Property sales in June 2023 increased by 19% compared to the previous year. In that month, 1,397 sales contracts were concluded, with Limassol leading in the number of sales (444), followed by Paphos (316), Nicosia (312), Larnaca (258), and Famagusta (67).
