Cyprus real estate market shows growth in first ten months of 2026

The Cyprus property market recorded a 13% increase in sales documents during the first ten months of 2026, totaling 16,741 transactions. While Limassol and Larnaca remain the most prominent areas for real estate activity, data indicates a slight slowdown in market momentum during October.

According to the Council for Registration of Real Estate Agents, while buyers from third countries continue to lead in total numbers, European Union citizens represent the highest percentage growth in acquisitions. For the first nine months of 2026, transfers to EU buyers rose by 42.7%, involving 1,607 properties and 2,004 buyers. In comparison, acquisitions by non-EU citizens increased by 16.2%, with 1,826 properties transferred to 2,501 buyers. Marinos Kynaigeirou, president of the council, noted that this diversification of the buyer base serves as a pillar of stability for the Cypriot economy.

The sector expects continued investment inflow as authorities work to maintain a regulated and professional environment for international investors.
