In April, 40% of real estate transactions in Cyprus were made by foreign buyers

The Department of Land Resources and Research has published the latest data on home sales in Cyprus to local and foreign buyers for April 2025.

The latest official stats show that the Cyprus real estate sector is doing really well. In April 2025, 1,404 homes were sold in the island nation. Of these, 60% were local buyers and 40% were foreign investors.

Sales of property in the local market.

The number of property transactions in the local market in April 2025 was pretty much the same as in April 2024: 852 compared to 855. If we look at Cyprus by city, we can see that the figure fell by 17% to 268 units in Limassol and by 13% to 145 units in Larnaca. In Nicosia, there was a 16% increase in transactions to 303 units, in the free areas of Famagusta there was a 33% increase to 40 units, and in Paphos there was a 32% increase to 96 units.

From January to April 2025, real estate sales to Cypriots went up by 11%. At the same time, the number of transactions during the period under review grew in almost all cities of Cyprus, except for Paphos, where the indicators remained stable — only 360 purchase and sale agreements were concluded. In Limassol, 1,091 properties were sold in the first four months (+6%), in Nicosia – 1,091 properties (+17%), in Larnaca – 654 properties (+17%), and in the free areas of Famagusta – 122 properties (+9%).

It's worth pointing out that the sales figures in this category include a bunch of 'unsaleable' deals, like loan restructuring, debt repayment and debt-for-asset swaps, which are agreed between banks and borrowers who've defaulted on their obligations. This is all part of the banks' efforts to reduce their portfolios of non-performing loans. Unfortunately, the Department of Lands and Surveys doesn't publish these figures separately.
