In the second quarter of 2024, residential property prices in Cyprus continued to rise, albeit at a slower pace. According to the latest Residential Property Price Index (RPPI) published by the Central Bank of Cyprus, apartments and houses showed a significant increase in value, but the dynamics varied by area.
The real estate market is showing signs of slowing down due to a number of factors:
- A decrease in the number of concluded purchase and sale agreements, especially in terms of the volume and value of transactions.
- Increasing the supply of residential properties available for rent and sale.
- High mortgage rates and a slight decline in prices for building materials.
Real estate market trends vary by area:
- Limassol and Nicosia : supply is increasing to meet existing demand.
- Larnaca and Paphos : demand continues to grow while supply remains moderate.
- Famagusta : supply is limited and prices are on the rise, due, among other things, to new residential properties entering the market.
