The real estate market of the Republic of Cyprus remains highly sought-after and stable. We review its performance for the full year 2025 and present current residential property prices according to REALTING data.

Number of purchase and sale transactions

The Cyprus real estate market continues to demonstrate high activity. Since 2013, the number of real estate purchase and sale transactions has grown annually. The only exception was 2020, when a decline was recorded compared to 2019.

Data from the Department of Lands and Surveys of the Republic of Cyprus indicate that 19,304 purchase and sale transactions were recorded nationwide in 2025. This represents a 0.8% increase compared to 2024. Notably, 2025 marked the highest-performing year for Cyprus's real estate market since 2007.

Seasonal patterns are characteristic of the Cyprus real estate sector. Activity peaks in the fourth quarter of each year, which consistently sees the highest number of purchase and sale transactions compared to the preceding quarters.

In January-February 2026, 2851 real estate purchase and sale transactions were registered, which is comparable to the figure for the same period in 2024.

Nicosia and Limassol lead among Cyprus districts in the number of real estate transactions. In 2025, these districts recorded 5917 and 4940 transactions, respectively. In January–February 2026, Nicosia saw 863 transactions, while Limassol recorded 832.
