Property prices continue to fall in Cyprus

Published 24th Oct 2011

Cypriot property prices have fallen for the sixth consecutive quarter, according to reports from the Central Bank of Cyprus.

During April, May and June of this year house and apartment prices fell by 0.9% - and on an annual basis prices have fallen by nearly 5%.

Over the past twelve months, Paphos has suffered the biggest fall in apartment prices (-18.4%) followed by Larnaca (-10.8%). Apartment prices in the seaside towns also fell, with Famagusta being the worst-hit area, while those in the island’s capital, Nicosia, appear to have stabilised.

The falling prices are being blamed on a variety of factors including the country’s high unemployment, high interest rates and the fact that during the boom years prices spiralled to an unrealistic level.
