Top 10 Most Expensive Property Sales in Cyprus – January 2024 Market Analysis
Cyprus’ Ten Most Expensive Property Sales – January 2024
In January 2024, Cyprus recorded its largest property deals totaling approximately €14.3 million across the island.
This segment reflects the activity of the high-end real estate market, which often serves as an indicator of investor confidence and capital movement.
Limassol led with five of the top ten sales (total around €7.54M), followed by Larnaca and Paphos with two each, and Nicosia with one.
The concentration of transactions in Limassol highlights its position as the primary luxury real estate hub in Cyprus.
The highest-priced transaction was €2.97M for land and a building in Potamos Germasogeias (Limassol).
Other major deals included:
- €2.20M house in Kato Paphos
- €1.61M land plot in Pervolia (Larnaca)
- €1.20M plot in Kapsalos (Limassol)
These transactions reflect a mix of land acquisitions and completed residential assets, indicating ongoing development interest alongside lifestyle purchases.
All transactions were completed in January 2024. Buyer and seller identities were not publicly disclosed.
Market analysis indicates that high-end sales activity was relatively subdued, with deals ranked 7–10 below €1M.
This suggests a narrowing of the ultra-luxury segment compared to previous periods of stronger international demand.
Market Context
Cyprus’s property market showed mixed signals at the start of 2024.
While overall activity remained stable, the composition of demand shifted significantly toward local buyers.
- Total sales contracts declined by 3% year-on-year in January
- Domestic purchases increased by 21%
- EU buyer activity declined by 25%
- Non-EU buyer activity declined by 23%
This shift reflects broader global trends, including higher interest rates and changing investment strategies among international buyers.
Coastal areas remained attractive to foreign buyers. In Paphos, approximately 73% of January sales were to overseas buyers.
By the end of 2023, property prices continued to rise:
- Houses: +8.3% year-on-year
- Apartments: +12.7% year-on-year
Limassol and Larnaca showed the strongest price growth.
Despite reduced foreign activity, price growth indicates continued supply-demand imbalance, especially in coastal cities.

The diversity of property types—from land to residential units—illustrates the broad nature of high-value transactions in Cyprus.
Market Implications
Limassol’s dominance reflects its strong price growth and continued demand in the luxury segment.
- 5 out of 10 top deals were in Limassol
- Total value ~€7.54M
- Paphos contributed ~€3.1M
- Larnaca contributed ~€2.68M
- Nicosia had a single transaction (~€0.99M)
This distribution confirms that coastal cities continue to drive the premium property market.
Despite this, the high-end market showed signs of slowdown:
- Transactions ranked 7–10 were below €1M
- Rising borrowing costs impacted demand
- Foreign buyer activity declined
Domestic buyers are becoming more significant in overall market activity.
This shift may lead to a more balanced market structure, reducing dependence on international demand.

Conclusion
The Cyprus luxury property market in January 2024 showed resilience but also signs of cooling.
While high-value transactions continue, growth may moderate due to financing conditions and reduced foreign demand.
Limassol and Paphos are expected to remain key locations for premium property deals, with steady demand supported by both local and international buyers.
In the long term, Cyprus is likely to maintain its attractiveness due to its strategic location, lifestyle offering, and investment-friendly environment.
