construction of new golf courses, luxury marina developments and the upgrading of<br />

APPEALING REAL ESTATE<br />

The <strong>Cyprus</strong> real estate sector was showing strong market performance straight<br />

through to 2019, but 2020 marked a turning point as the pandemic hit worldwide.<br />

However, 2022 and <strong>2023</strong> have showed dynamic momentum in sales, underlining the<br />

strong confidence of both local and foreign buyers in the market. <strong>Cyprus</strong>’ appeal has<br />

remained strong amongst international investors, expats and retirees thanks to its<br />

Mediterranean climate, high quality of life and safety, as well as its status as an EU<br />

member state conveniently located between three continents. <strong>Cyprus</strong> has one of the<br />

highest home ownership rates in Europe and also has a longstanding market for<br />

second homes and holiday villas, making the economy heavily reliant on the sector.<br />

With new up-market developments, increased foreign investment in top hotels and<br />

major infrastructure projects springing up, <strong>Cyprus</strong>’ attractiveness as a property<br />

investment location is set to grow in the coming years.<br />
