The Cyprus Real Estate Market in 2026: A Data-Driven Overview

18 July 2026

2025 was a record year for Cyprus real estate — but the headline number only tells part of the story.

€7.9 billion. That's the total value of property transactions in 2025, a 15.4% jump on the previous year and a new all-time high, beating the previous record set in 2023. But is the market still climbing, or is it closer to the top of the cycle than most people think?

Here are five numbers worth knowing before you buy, sell, or value anything in Cyprus right now:

  • 29,845 — the number of property sales recorded in 2025.
  • 23% — the year-on-year rise in new mortgage lending, showing banks are financing this growth, not just cash buyers.
  • 3.50% — the yield on Cyprus 10-year government bonds in Q1 2026, up from 3.04% just one quarter earlier. This benchmark feeds directly into the discount rates used in every serious property valuation — when it rises, required returns rise with it.
  • 12–15 years — the typical length of a full Cyprus property cycle, peak to peak. The data suggests we're now in the mature stage of the current upswing.
  • -5.7% — the drop in foreign buyer property transfers in 2025, even as foreign sales contracts rose by 12%. That gap tells its own story about where foreign demand is really going.

Every one of these numbers connects to a bigger picture — district-by-district pricing, rental yields, construction trends, and where the cycle goes from here.

We've put the full picture together in one place: AXIA Market Intelligence — 25 data-driven sections covering prices, transactions, rents, and forecasts across every Cyprus district, sourced from CYSTAT, the Central Bank of Cyprus, the Department of Lands and Surveys, and RICS.

If you're making a property decision in 2026, that's where to start.
