Pavlos Loizu , CEO of Ask Wire , commented: “The upward trend in property values and rental rates from the second quarter of 2022 is not slowing down, especially due to the increase in prices for apartments and houses in Limassol , Paphos and Larnaca . However, the combination of higher interest rates and high prices/rents has set a stable, albeit high, market cap. We expect commercial real estate prices to feel increased pressure as alternative investments offer attractive risk-adjusted returns.
Looking forward to the third quarter of 2023, we forecast that residential property prices will remain fairly stable despite potentially lower demand and reduced transaction volume. Investor demand for commercial real estate may remain somewhat limited.”
