Cyprus remains a popular destination for international property investors, with foreign buyers maintaining strong activity during the first ten months of 2025. Data from the Land Registry show that 3,469 property sale contracts were submitted by non-residents, with 1,846 originating from non-EU countries.
Only Nicosia and Famagusta had more European investors than non-EU buyers, while in the other districts, most property investments came from investors outside the European Union.
The largest demand for housing was in coastal cities, particularly Paphos and Limassol, which also recorded the highest volumes of real estate transactions. Paphos attracted the greatest number of both European and non-European investors.
- Paphos: 1,198 total property sales; 545 by EU citizens, 653 by non-EU investors.
- Limassol: 860 total sales; 367 by EU citizens, 493 by non-EU investors.
- Larnaca: 721 total sales; 289 by EU citizens, 432 by non-EU investors.
- Famagusta: 211 total sales; 110 by EU citizens, 101 by non-EU investors.
- Nicosia: 479 total sales; 312 by EU citizens, 167 by non-EU investors.
These numbers show Cyprus’ continuing attractiveness as a property investment destination, particularly in coastal regions, and the growing influence of non-EU buyers on the market.
