Pavlos Loizou, CEO of Ask Wire, said: “The rising trend in property values and rental rates since Q2 2022 isn’t slowing down, particularly due to the increase in prices of apartments and houses in Limassol, Paphos, and Larnaca.
“However, the blend of increased interest rates and high prices/rents has established a stable, albeit high, market threshold.
“We expect commercial property pricing to feel increased pressure as alternative investments provide attractive risk-adjusted returns.
“Looking forward to Q3 2023, we foresee residential property prices remaining fairly steady, despite potentially slower demand and reduced transaction volume.
“Investor demand for commercial properties might remain somewhat restrained.”
