Properties for sale in Cyprus - Still a Sound Investment?

Estate agents and overseas property consultants have been praising the investment potential of properties for sale in Cyprus for years, but are homes on the island still a sound investment?

Properties for sale in Cyprus and their long-term investment potential

Whilst most professionals in the industry will readily admit that the demand for Cypriot real estate continues unabated, it takes a brave man (or woman of course) to claim that the market has remained unchanged during the past twelve to eighteen months.

Whereas twelve months ago, large numbers of British home buyers visiting the island would readily follow the 'guidance' of bartenders, taxi drivers and even hairdressers recommending 'friendly relatives' offering properties for sale in Cyprus; today's buyer has grown wise to the fact that the majority of these so-called relatives are simply property developers offering a 'gratuity' for successful introductions by non-professionals.

Estate agents using high-pressure sales tactics are faring poorly too.

By and large, buyers are also less willing to take subsidised inspection trips to Cyprus, since these are now firmly associated with a high-pressure approach on the part of the agent.
British visitors especially, are now looking for independent advice and the freedom to make their own choice about which of the many homes on offer in Cyprus to buy, instead of a pushy agent trying to tell them what to do.

But what exactly is it that makes properties for sale in Cyprus such a solid investment?

Since becoming a fully fledged member of the European Union, the real estate market in the Republic of Cyprus has gone from strength to strength as European home buyers are now seeing Cypriot properties as a safe investment.

This, coupled with ongoing improvements in the country's infrastructure, such as the extension of Larnaca International Airport and Paphos Airport, is serving to keep real estate in Cyprus firmly at the top of high-yield medium and long-term investments in the Mediterranean.

Indeed, most analysts predict that, over a five to ten year period, the growth in property values will put the Republic of Cyprus well within the top twenty investment locations on Earth.

Golf in Cyprus

The continuing popularity of Cyprus real estate with foreign buyers can at least be partially attributed to the island's growing popularity as a golfing destination.
In order to establish golf in Cyprus not only as a part of the European circuit, but also to attract the growing number of home buyers looking for Mediterranean golf properties, the Cypriot government has licenced fourteen new courses across the Republic.
