House Prices In Cyprus Edge Up 1% In Q2 Amid Steady Market Indicators

Data published by the Cyprus Statistical Service confirms that residential property values in Cyprus experienced a modest 1% year-on-year increase in the second quarter of 2025. The House Price Index reached 113.99 units, reflecting incremental growth as the market continues to evolve.

Steady Quarterly Growth

The House Price Index demonstrated a 0.2% quarter-on-quarter increase, underscoring resilience within the residential market. Though the changes are incremental, the annual gain of 1% signifies a stable trend, providing market participants with confidence in the continuity of these developments.

Robust Methodological Approach

The index methodology is both comprehensive and precise. It captures price changes for both new and existing residential properties, including the land component of the real estate. By employing a rolling window hedonic regression model for separate dwelling groups, and subsequently weighting them based on the previous year’s property values, Cystat ensures that the index reflects a balanced and accurate portrayal of the market. The base year is set at 2015, when the index was calibrated at 100 units.

Comprehensive National Coverage

The collected data, sourced in part from the Department of Lands and Surveys, cover all areas under the jurisdiction of the Republic of Cyprus. This extensive scope offers valuable insights for policy makers, investors, and analysts who depend on reliable indicators to assess market dynamics in a challenging global economic environment.
