Cyprus’ property market 2025 recorded strong performance, with the total value of new residential sale contracts exceeding €2.5 billion, according to the latest Landbank Analytics report.

District trends shape the market
In Nicosia, 2,171 new residential sales were recorded, dominated by apartments with 1,836 transactions. Apartments generated €349.6 million, while houses reached €105.5 million. The district remained the most affordable, with average apartment prices around €190,000 and houses near €315,000.

Apartments averaged €194,000, while houses exceeded €513,000, reflecting strong demand for holiday and coastal properties.
Apartments remain the market’s engine
Commenting on the findings, Andreas Christophorides, chief executive of Landbank Group, said apartments clearly drive Cyprus’ residential sector, representing more than four-fifths of all transactions.
He noted that Limassol leads apartment pricing, Paphos dominates premium housing, and Nicosia remains the backbone of domestic demand due to affordability and stability. Larnaca continues strong activity with competitive prices, while Famagusta’s pattern reflects its focus on holiday residences and high-end coastal developments.
Christophorides added that Landbank Analytics closely tracks these trends to support informed and targeted investment decisions.
