Robust Property Trends Across Cyprus

Paphos has emerged as one of Cyprus’ most dynamic property markets in the first half of 2025, according to the latest report by Landbank Analytics. The report reveals significant activity, with the district recording 203 apartment transactions – over twice the number of house sales. While Paphos apartments boast the lowest average resale price in Cyprus at €129,774, the district’s resale houses command an average of €386,828 over 90 transactions, making them the second-most expensive after Limassol.

Island-Wide Residential Sales Insights

Across Cyprus, residential resale remains the cornerstone of the property market. Houses fetched a cumulative transaction value of €190.3 million from 552 sales, while apartments generated €185 million from 1,162 transactions. This pattern highlights a strong demand for both affordable and premium real estate options. The parallel trends observed in the new-build market further underscore the sustained investor and buyer interest.

Distinct District Dynamics

Each district in Cyprus exhibits unique market characteristics. In Nicosia, apartments led the market with 458 sales at an average price of €143,118, contrasting with house sales averaging €283,641 from 163 transactions. Limassol stands as the apex, with the average resale house price reaching €527,252 from 122 transactions and apartments averaging €261,378 from 201 transactions, reinforcing its status as a lucrative investment hub. Larnaca and Famagusta present balanced activity, with Larnaca’s apartment and house averages at €142,161 and €249,382 respectively, and Famagusta recording modest figures with apartments at €115,664 and houses at €264,039.

Market Insights and Strategic Outlook

Andreas Christophorides, CEO of Landbank Group, emphasizes that the data mirrors a multi-speed landscape where each district’s distinct identity shapes the overall market dynamics. “What we’re observing is a multi-speed landscape, with each district showcasing its own distinct identity,” Christophorides stated. He further highlighted Limassol’s continuous ascendancy as a pivotal business and investment center.

Underlying Socioeconomic Trends

According to Christophorides, market analysis extends beyond mere statistics. It encapsulates the socioeconomic forces underlying the sector’s resilience and adaptability. This balanced blend of varied property types and price ranges underscores a mature market phase, offering enduring opportunities for both discerning buyers and strategic investors.

Women Accounted For More Than Half Of Scientists In 10 EU Regions

by THEFUTURE.TEAM

In Portugal’s Continente region, 265,100 women worked as scientists and engineers in 2025, representing 46% of the total workforce in these occupations.

Across the EU, women made up more than half of all scientists and engineers in 10 regions. Four were located in Spain, two in Portugal and one in Greece. The remaining regions were Poland’s Makroregion centralny, Sweden’s northernmost region and France’s outermost regions.

Most of these areas had relatively small numbers of scientists and engineers overall. Spain’s Noreste region was the largest, with 102,700 women in these occupations, accounting for 51% of its total workforce.

Women’s Representation Varies Across Europe

The figures highlight considerable regional differences in both the number of women working in science and engineering and their share of the overall workforce.

Cyprus remains below the EU average, with women accounting for 37.8% of scientists and engineers. However, this share is broadly comparable to that of Île-de-France, one of Europe’s largest centres of scientific and engineering employment.
