Property values across the European Union kept climbing in the third quarter of 2025, but Cyprus stood out for its near-flat performance, based on figures published by Eurostat.
On average, residential prices in the EU were 5.5% higher than a year earlier and 1.6% above the previous quarter, underscoring the continued strength of the bloc’s housing market.
Cyprus, however, experienced only minimal movement. Prices edged up by 0.1% compared with the final quarter of 2024, while slipping 0.3% from the second quarter of 2025 signs that the local market may be settling into a more stable phase.
Looking beyond short-term fluctuations, the longer-term trend in Cyprus remains encouraging. Between the third quarter of 2015 and the same period in 2025, home values rose by nearly 47%, pointing to steady growth over the past decade.
Elsewhere in the EU, prices increased in 25 member states. Hungary recorded the sharpest rise, followed by strong gains in Portugal, Lithuania, and Bulgaria. Finland was the only country to report an overall decline during this period.
Taken together, the data suggest that while most European housing markets continue to expand at a robust pace, Cyprus is currently experiencing subdued price changes, reflecting balance rather than rapid growth.
