Press Release – Nicosia, 26 September 2025
IMR/University of Nicosia, with extensive expertise in research development in the Real Estate sector, has conducted a new comparative analysis highlighting the role and importance of online property listing platforms in Cyprus.
The study focused exclusively on active listings for sale, comparing data from three major platforms – BuySell, Bazaraki and Facebook Marketplace – covering all five districts of Cyprus as well as four key property categories: Apartments, Houses, Land/Plots, and Commercial Properties.
Data collection was carried out on a daily basis during the period 15–19 September, with the five-day average used for the final comparisons, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the findings.
By measuring both the absolute number of listings and the relative market shares, IMR/University of Nicosia’s analysis provides the clearest picture to date of the structure of the online property sales market.
