In the first half of 2026, Cyprus recorded 10,007 real estate sale contracts — 15% more than in the same period a year earlier. Growth was recorded across all key districts, with Paphos and Limassol showing the strongest performance.

International demand also continued to expand: activity among EU buyers grew faster than the non-EU segment, while apartments remain the most balanced property category in terms of liquidity, price momentum and rental potential.

In the new report, we look beyond transaction volumes. The analysis covers changes to the 2026 tax environment, infrastructure projects, the impact of regional risks, international buyer activity, the factors driving HNWI interest in Cyprus, and the outlook for PRS projects (professionally managed rental housing).

The key takeaway from H1 2026 is that the Cyprus real estate market continues to grow, but is becoming increasingly selective. For investors, it is no longer simply about choosing a city — the specific asset, micro-location, ownership structure and future operating model are becoming increasingly important.
