The value of property transfers in Cyprus reached €3.49 billion in the first nine months of 2025, up about 12.6% year on year. The number of transfers rose only 0.74%, which means the growth came mainly from higher-value deals. The figures come from the Department of Lands and Surveys and were presented by the Real Estate Agents Registration Council (Cyprus Mail).
Sale contracts deposited with land offices rose 13%, to 13,173 from 11,634 a year earlier.

Contracts vs transfers
A sale contract is deposited with the land office when a deal is signed. A transfer is the change of title, which can happen much later, for example when an off-plan property is completed. That is why the two figures can move differently.
