This comprehensive analysis delves into the intricacies of property market transactions in the Cypriot capital, shedding light on sales volume and value across various property categories, including houses, apartments, plots, and fields.

The report reveals that a total of 1,166 properties changed hands in the city and the Nicosia district, amassing a combined value of €164.9 million. Breaking down these figures, the Nicosia district played a pivotal role in the real estate landscape, witnessing the sale of 492 apartments, 160 houses, 312 fields, and 202 plots.

Significantly, the Nicosia district claimed the top spot nationwide in apartment sales during the third quarter, constituting 28.6% of the total property sales in the country.

Digging deeper into the data, the report highlights that apartments priced between €100,000 and €200,000 were particularly popular, representing a substantial portion of apartment sales.
