The anticipated surge in demand for property in Cyprus over the fall/winter period may have been driven by the news of the Republic’s potential membership of the Schengen Agreement in 2024.

Indeed, there is already an increased demand from non-EU buyers for development projects across Cyprus, with the highest numbers recorded in decades, and a significant dominance of non-EU buyers compared to EU buyers.

The demand for property in Cyprus is fuelled by concerns regarding the possible changes or the stricter requirements for non-EU buyers applying for residency-for-investment in the following 1.5–2 years.

Should Cyprus become a member of the Schengen Agreement, the property prices will rise dramatically.
