Property sales in Cyprus reached 1.3 billion euros in the first quarter of 2022, according to a land registry report released on Tuesday. At the same time, the data show a significantly increased demand for apartments, which was also observed last year. However, Paphos is an exception here, as sales of apartments exceed sales of houses in all other areas.
Agricultural fields were of particular interest: during this time, 162 fields were sold.
“This data once again proves the resilience of the market, as well as the confidence in this sector on the part of both Cypriot and foreign property buyers,” said Council President Marinos Kineiro.
