Residential property prices continued their upward trend, with the House Price Index (HPI) climbing by 2.7% year-on-year in the third quarter of 2024, according to preliminary data from the Statistical Service of Cyprus (CYSTAT).
Quarter-on-quarter, the HPI recorded a modest 0.7% increase compared to the second quarter, bringing the index to 110.65, based on a 2015 reference year (2015=100).

The HPI is a key metric for tracking changes in the average price of residential properties across Cyprus, encompassing new and existing homes. The index also factors in the value of the land associated with these properties, making it a comprehensive measure of market trends.
Data for the index and associated weights are sourced from the Department of Lands and Surveys under the Ministry of Interior. The figures cover all areas under the control of the Republic of Cyprus and are considered provisional, subject to updates as new information becomes available.
CYSTAT uses a detailed methodology to calculate the HPI, stratifying data into old and new properties and applying a rolling window hedonic regression model to determine sub-indices. These sub-indices are then weighted according to the total value of properties in each category from the previous year.
This latest update highlights the ongoing resilience of Cyprus’s residential property market, reflecting steady demand and a stable economic backdrop.
