February 25, 2025

The latest edition of the “RICS Cyprus Property Price Index with KPMG in Cyprus” for Q4 2024 reveals a market in balance. KPMG in Cyprus reports that, overall, property prices have stabilized—a trend that has persisted over recent quarters—even as select segments exhibit modest shifts.

Stable Prices Across Most Segments

According to Christophoros Anayiotos, Board Member and Head of the Real Estate Industry Group at KPMG in Cyprus, the Index shows minimal changes across most asset categories. In key markets like Limassol, Larnaca, and Famagusta, property prices remain steady, while retail values experienced a slight dip. Notably, warehouses and apartments in Paphos and Nicosia registered some pricing adjustments, highlighting localized market dynamics.

Rental Markets On The Rise

In contrast to the stable sales prices, rental values continue to trend upward. Offices have seen a significant surge in rents, with residential leases also on the rise. Conversely, rental rates for shops and holiday apartments have softened. Despite these shifts, overall property yields have experienced only marginal fluctuations—an indicator that the market is gradually rebalancing itself.

A Global Perspective Amid Local Resilience

RICS Chief Economist Simon Rubinsohn notes that the subdued movement in the Cyprus Property Price Index aligns with trends captured by the RICS Commercial Property Monitor. Investment inquiries and foreign buyer interest appear to be leveling off, even as a resilient macroeconomic environment continues to support the market amid geopolitical uncertainties.

Looking Ahead: Strategic Stability And Diversification

As Cyprus navigates an increasingly complex international landscape, the stability in its real estate market offers a silver lining for investors and policymakers alike. The Index not only underscores the sector’s steady performance but also highlights the selective shifts—such as in warehouses and apartments—that may signal evolving investor preferences and market segmentation.

In summary, Cyprus’ real estate market remains robust, characterized by stable prices and rising rental income, even as certain asset classes experience localized changes. This resilience, combined with a balanced yield profile, positions Cyprus favorably as the nation continues to attract both domestic and international investment.

Cursor Expands To Mobile As AI Coding Agents Gain Ground

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

June 30, 2026

Cursor is expanding its AI coding platform to mobile devices with the launch of Cursor Mobile, allowing users to prompt coding agents directly from their smartphones.

Announced on Monday, the app builds on the Cursor 2.0 redesign introduced in October, which shifted the platform’s focus toward autonomous coding agents rather than a traditional code editor. Users can launch new agents or continue conversations started on desktop.

A Mobile Interface For A Changing Workflow

The launch reflects a broader shift in AI-assisted software development. As coding agents become increasingly capable of handling implementation tasks, developers are spending less time navigating large codebases and more time reviewing, guiding and supervising AI-generated work.

That evolution also makes mobile devices a more practical interface. They are well suited to reviewing progress, sending prompts and managing ongoing workflows, even when the underlying development is taking place remotely.

Cursor is not alone in moving in that direction. Anthropic and OpenAI have also introduced mobile experiences for their coding products, signalling that competition is extending beyond model performance and editor integration to the overall developer workflow.

The Shift From Editing To Orchestration

For years, professional development tools were built around the assumption that developers would spend most of their time writing and editing code on desktop computers. AI coding agents are beginning to change that dynamic by taking on more of the implementation work, allowing developers to focus increasingly on directing, reviewing and refining outputs.

Anthropic’s Claude Code lead, Boris Cherny, recently described how dramatically his own workflow has changed.

“Most of my coding now is on my phone,” Cherny said. “I would have said ‘you’re crazy’ if you told me that six months ago, but yeah, here we are.”

Why The Mobile Bet Matters

Cursor’s latest release expands access to its AI coding agents beyond the desktop, reflecting broader changes in how developers interact with AI-powered tools. As coding increasingly involves prompting, reviewing and coordinating AI-generated work, mobile devices are becoming another way to stay connected to software projects throughout the development process.
