Real estate sales rose by 35% and the number of transactions with foreign buyers doubled compared with 2021. In 2023, experts unanimously predict a further increase in sales, mainly due to the ongoing infrastructure projects and foreign investors. Shipping and IT companies place their business on the island. Israeli businessmen showed great interest in Cyprus. They proposed large-scale projects in medicine, as well as residential and office construction.

Marinos Kineiro, president of the Estate Agents Registration Board, said: "The property sector has been able to grow and develop during an extremely difficult period. However, factors such as inflation, rising interest rates on loans, the increasing cost of building materials, the likely tightening of the law on the charging of a reduced VAT rate for basic housing, are expected to affect demand in 2023."
