CEO of Ask WiRE Pavlos Loizou said that “the influx in population due to in-migration throughout 2022 and pend-up demand over the past couple of years continues to drive the residential market.

“With inflation eroding disposable incomes and interest rates rising, we have seen a slowing down of demand in the second half of the year and prices stabilizing in Nicosia and Limassol.

“We expect pricing of commercial properties to come under pressure, as alternative investment classes offer appealing returns on a risk adjusted basis.

“Looking ahead to 2023, we expect residential property prices to remain broadly stable, albeit with slowing demand and less transaction volume, whilst commercial real estate will face various challenges, with investor demand remaining relatively thin.”

  1. Thank you for the article. Where I can find the real prices(average/median price of an apartment; average price per sq meters per city…not only the change of prices by percentage?

    I want to know how much is the average price per square meter by the city.

    Regards,
