demand from EU citizens grew by almost 43%, but buyers from other countries lead

📈 In the first nine months of 2026 the number of real estate objects that passed into the ownership of EU citizens increased by 42.7% compared to the same period last year.

🏡 According to the Land Registry of Cyprus, for January–September there were registered:

🔹 1,607 objects for buyers from the EU — growth of 42.7%.

🔹 1,826 objects for buyers from non-EU countries — growth of 16.2%.

📑 At the same time, in new purchase and sale contracts the gap is significantly larger: 4,173 objects are intended for buyers from countries outside the EU and 2,094 — for citizens of the European Union.

💶 Main conclusion: Europeans have become noticeably more active in acquiring real estate in Cyprus, however buyers from other countries still ensure a larger volume of foreign demand.

📌 The statistics cover January–September 2026. Registered transfers of ownership rights and submitted purchase and sale contracts are accounted for separately.
