Cyprus continues to confidently maintain its leading position in the global real estate sector, offering investors a unique combination of stable growth, high profitability, and exceptional quality of life.
According to market experts, 2025 will be a pivotal year for the property market, especially for two key regions — Paphos and Limassol, which are shaping the island’s new investment map.
In the first half of the year, data confirms a trend of steady growth: property sales have increased compared to last year, and foreign buyer interest from Europe, the Middle East, and Asia remains high.
The main driver of this growth is the premium property segment, focused on lifestyle and comfort.
Paphos: The New Star on the Investment Map
Paphos is rapidly transforming from a “quiet haven” into a major hotspot for investors.
According to market data, in the first half of 2025, real estate transactions in Paphos reached €485 million, a 20% increase compared to the same period in 2024.
A total of 1,653 transactions were registered, with over half of all residential sales above €500,000 occurring in this region.
The main advantages of Paphos are its high return potential, lower entry threshold compared to Limassol, and its unique coastal lifestyle, which is particularly attractive to international buyers.
Demand in the luxury villas and high-end apartments segment continues to rise, while supply remains limited, pushing prices upward and making the city a promising destination for long-term investment.
Limassol: Stability, Prestige, and High Liquidity
Limassol remains the flagship of the Cypriot property market and the most recognized destination among foreign buyers.
In the first half of 2025, the total value of transactions reached around €800 million, accounting for one-third of all real estate deals on the island.
The average housing price in the city increased to €3,200 per m², while premium seafront properties now average €8,000 per m².
Experts note that Limassol retains its reputation as a reliable market with high liquidity and consistent returns.
It is home to Cyprus’s finest investment properties — from apartments with panoramic sea views to luxurious beachfront villas.
For investors focused on long-term stability and capital preservation, Limassol remains an ideal choice.
Forecast for 2025–2026
Experts predict that in the coming years, Paphos will continue to show asset appreciation, while Limassol will maintain steady rental yields and high standards of prestige housing.
Buyers are becoming increasingly selective, focusing on energy efficiency, modern technologies, infrastructure access, and location — proximity to yacht marinas, golf courses, leisure zones, and wellness centers.
The ideal investment strategy, according to analysts, is to diversify one’s portfolio between the two cities, combining Paphos’s growth potential with Limassol’s stability.
This approach allows investors to balance risks and maximize returns.
