Cyprus property sales surge 15% in April despite regional uncertainty

According to the Department of Lands and Cadastre, 1,611 transactions were completed in April, compared with 1,404 a year earlier. The upward trajectory continues: March saw an even stronger 18% increase. Cyprus is maintaining momentum despite Middle East volatility.

Foreign buyers are particularly active. In April, they concluded 649 transactions (40.3% of all sales), up from 552 a year ago. This demonstrates that investor interest in Cypriot property from the EU and beyond remains robust.

Regional performance is mixed. Paphos leads with 41% growth, recovering from a 4% decline in March. Larnaca added 21%. Nicosia showed modest gains of 2% following a 30% jump in March. Famagusta remained flat.

Over the first four months of 2026, sales rose 14% to 6,320 transactions. Foreign buyers completed 2,693 purchases against 2,223 in the same period last year. Famagusta delivered the strongest four-month result with 25% growth.

In summary: the market is expanding, foreign buyers remain key players, though momentum has moderated slightly from March's peak.
