Cyprus house prices rise 6 per cent in final quarter of 2025

Cyprus’ house prices rose at a faster annual pace in the fourth quarter of 2025, although they were flat compared with the previous quarter, preliminary figures from the state statistical service (Cystat) showed on Tuesday.

The House Price Index stood at 152.91 points in the final three months of 2025, unchanged from the third quarter and up 6 per cent from a year earlier, according to Cystat. 

That compared with annual increases of 4.7 per cent in the first quarter, 2.9 per cent in the second and 4.2 per cent in the third, pointing to stronger year-on-year growth at the end of the year. 

The quarterly picture, however, was more subdued. After rising to 150.25 in the first quarter of 2025 from 144.20 in the previous quarter, the index fell to 147.48 in the second quarter, climbed to 152.93 in the third and then was little changed at 152.91 in the fourth. 

Cystat said prices for new dwellings continued to rise, with the relevant sub-index reaching 174.51 in the fourth quarter from 173.92 in the previous three-month period.  

By contrast, the sub-index for existing dwellings fell to 134.56 from 135.60. 

The statistical service said the index measures changes in the average price of residential property, covering both new and existing homes, based on data from the department of lands and surveys.
