Analysis of prices in the primary real estate market of Northern Cyprus as of December 2024

According to the MAPREX analytical system, as of the end of November 2024, the median price of apartments in the primary real estate market of Northern Cyprus (prices from developers) was £173K, and houses – £445K per property. Compared with October, the cost of apartments decreased by 1%, and the cost of houses remained at the level of the previous month. Since the beginning of 2024, prices for residential properties have fluctuated slightly and remained at approximately the same level.

The median price per square meter in new buildings at the end of November 2024 was £2 308 for apartments and £2 180 for houses. In November, compared to October 2024, the price per sq. m for apartments increased by 1.9%, while the price per sq. m for houses remained at the level of the previous month. If we consider the dynamics from the beginning of 2024, the price per sq. m of apartments gradually increased from January to July, then a slight decrease was recorded, and the price per sq. m of houses was approximately the same starting from February 2024. Despite the low sales figures for primary real estate in the last half of the year, developers are not going to reduce prices yet.

The cost of houses and apartments is primarily determined by the type, location of the complex, and the class of the property.

Prices vary significantly depending on the area, with the highest median property price as of November 2024 in Kyrenia (£250 000 per property or £2 722 per sq. m), and the lowest in Lefke (£120 000 per property) and Famagusta (£2 042 per sq. m).

Depending on the types of apartments, the median price of the property as of the end of November 2024 ranges from £166 900 for apartments to £383 000 for penthouses. The median price per square meter for duplexes is £170 000, and for lofts - £205 000.

Since the beginning of 2024, there has been a decrease in the median price of apartments both per property and per square meter - by 2.9% and 4.6%, respectively. The median price of lofts (per unit) has fallen significantly (by more than 10%), which is primarily due to a change in the supply structure, rather than a real decrease in prices.

Depending on the types of houses, the median price of a property as of the end of November 2024 ranges from £115 000 for a bungalow to £589 000 for a villa. The median price per sq. m of townhouses and villas is slightly higher than the price per sq. m of a semi-detached house, at £345 000 and £410 000 respectively.

The median price per sq. m as of the end of November 2024 ranges from £2136 for a semi-detached house to £2 487 for a bungalow. The median price per sq. m for townhouses and villas is roughly the same, at £2 180 and £2 219 respectively.

Since the beginning of 2024, there has been an increase in prices for villas, both per unit (by more than 40%) and per square meter (by more than 6%), which is primarily due to a change in the supply structure - first of all, lower-cost properties are purchased, more expensive properties remain on the market, while new complexes with villas are almost not appearing on the market.

Note: The sharp drop in the median price of a bungalow in April-May 2024 is due to the launch of 50 bungalows by developer Armador on the market construction – the Strawberry complex with a median price of just £95 000 and 32 bungalows from developer Rafael Construction – complex Da Vinci Mountainside with a median price of £115 000. Cyprus had the most bungalows on the market until April Constructions in the complex Aloha Beach Resort – Phase 2 at £970 000 per unit.

The most expensive complexes by median price of the property are located mainly on the Northern coast – in Küçük Erenköy, Çatalköy, etc. – complexes of developers Omağ Development, Cyprus Constructions, Northernland and others.
