Pavlos Loizou, CEO of Ask Wire, commented on the above:

“With the highest sale just surpassing the €2 million mark, the high-value property market remained at low levels in January 2025. Notably, compared to the previous month, December 2024, the total value of the 50 most expensive transactions recorded a significant 67% decrease.

“Beyond that, we observe that 27 of the top 50 sales were houses. If we also include the nine luxury apartment transactions, it becomes clear that the driving force behind the high-value property market in January was residential real estate.

“The district with the fewest residential property sales in its top 10 was Nicosia (two houses and two apartments), whereas the top 10 sales in the free district of Famagusta consisted exclusively of residential properties (seven houses and three apartments).”
