KPMG in Cyprus announces that the "RICS Cyprus Property Price Index with KPMG in Cyprus" has been issued for 2023 Q1.

On behalf of KPMG in Cyprus, Christophoros Anayiotos, Head of Real Estate Industry Group, stated:

"During the first quarter of 2023 the increasing trend in property values continued in most asset classes, with notable increases in Larnaca. The best performing asset class is Houses with overall increases in all areas. However, the highest increases were recorded in Larnaca, in Offices and Apartments. Retail displayed minor increases in Limassol, but also the largest drop of the quarter in Larnaca. Rental values have also increased, with holiday apartments and residential sector properties (apartments, houses) exhibiting the largest increases - the same trend was also identified in property yields".

On behalf of RICS, Simon Rubinsohn, RICS Chief Economist, commented:

"The resilient performance of the economy is reflected not just in this dataset but also in the generally positive feedback to the RICS sentiment survey of real estate in the country. That shows occupied demand in most areas continuing to grow over recent months and that rental expectations largely remain upbeat helping to support the appetite of investors".
