Cyprus real estate closed 2025 at €4.7 billion, up 15% year-on-year. Velment breaks down what's fueling the growth — from tax reform to the island's increasingly distinct regional sub-markets.
Cyprus is entering a new phase of real estate growth driven by fresh tax reforms, increased demand and greater market diversity. With stable price increases and high interest from international buyers, the island continues to establish itself as one of Europe’s most reliable property investment destinations.
On 1 January 2026, Cyprus introduced major tax updates designed to encourage property ownership and long-term investment. The most notable changes include the removal of stamp duty on new contracts and a significant expansion of capital gains tax exemptions.
These reforms reduce upfront costs for buyers and improve long-term returns for investors, making it easier to enter the market and more profitable to hold real estate over time.
Despite global economic headwinds, Cyprus showed strong property sector performance in 2025:
This sustained growth highlights a market grounded in investor confidence, resilience and consistent performance.
Cyprus is no longer viewed as a single real estate market, but a collection of thriving sub-markets. Limassol continues to lead in high-value sales and strong rental yields. Larnaca is gaining momentum thanks to infrastructure improvements. Nicosia offers stability and appeal for professionals and families, while Paphos attracts lifestyle buyers seeking coastal living. Famagusta is emerging as a high-potential district, ideal for long-term investment and permanent living.
As Yiannos Trisokkas, CEO of Velment and migration expert, explains, Cyprus appeals to a broad range of buyers, from investors and digital nomads to HNWIs, thanks to its high quality of life, year-round sunshine, safe communities, international education options, favourable tax environment, expanding job market and lower cost of living compared to many EU countries.. It’s a destination where property investment supports a long-term life strategy.
This 2-bedroom detached home offers a private garden, open-plan layout and a peaceful suburban setting close to the city. Located near the marina, highway and City of Dreams Mediterranean, it combines convenience, comfort and long-term value, ideal for families or investors.
A modern off-plan development offering 1–3-bedroom apartments with large balconies and a rooftop communal pool. Centrally located and energy-efficient, Aster Residences is perfectly suited for relocation or property investment in one of Cyprus’ most in-demand areas.
