Cyprus property price growth moderates as market finds equilibrium

The pace of house price increases on Cyprus has slowed, though this does not signal a market downturn.

In the first quarter of 2026, the property price index rose 3.4% year-on-year—a marked deceleration from 6% a year earlier. On a quarterly basis, however, the market showed recovery, advancing 1.6% compared with the fourth quarter of 2025.

The new-build segment is performing more robustly. Prices for new homes rose from 102.06 to 103.25 index points over the three-month period. The secondary market also gained ground, moving from 99.82 to 102.51. This suggests demand is being distributed evenly between new and existing properties.

Experts view this as a sign of stabilisation: after volatility in 2025, the market has settled into a more sustainable rhythm. For investors, this is an encouraging signal—prices are rising, but without overheating.
