  1. @ Nigel.

    Thanks for that info: I am really surprised that the devaluation isn’t greater, considering the general state of the economy.

  2. @Deanna – the figures for residential apartments and houses (NOT holiday homes) since the 3rd quarter of 2009 are as follows:

    Average apartment prices have fallen by 35%
    Average 3-bed semis have fallen by 26%

    (Above figures from the RICS Cyprus Property Price Index)

    Holiday homes will have seen a sharper drop.
