Pavlos Loizou, CEO of Ask Wire, said: “The rising trend in property values and rental rates since Q3 2022 isn’t slowing down, particularly due to the increase in prices, especially in Limassol and Larnaca.

“Nevertheless, the blend of political instability in the area, increased inflation, and upward trajectory of prices/rents have established a stable, although high, market threshold.

“Looking forward to Q4 2023, we expect residential property prices to remain fairly steady despite potentially slower demand and reduced transaction volume.

“We also expect commercial property pricing to come under increased pressure as alternative investments provide attractive risk-adjusted returns. ”
