Residential Property Price Index

Registered contracts of sale
Contracts deposited with the Department of Lands and Surveys in each calendar year.
A contract is counted when deposited. This measures demand activity, not completed transfers of legal title.
Index change by district

Analysis
What has changed since 2020
- 1Deposited sale contracts rose from 7,968 in 2020 to 18,114 in 2025. The pandemic year created a low base, but activity continued to a new high after the recovery.
- 2The CBC overall index rose 39.5%. Flats outpaced houses: +56.9% versus +26.7% between 2020 Q1 and 2026 Q2.
- 3The overall index rose most in Paphos and Limassol, by roughly 53% and 52%. An index shows price direction; it is not the average price of a particular property.
- 4CYSTAT records a sharp rise in planned dwelling units in 2025. An administrative break in 2024 means the whole jump should not be read as pure construction growth.
