November saw slight fall in property sales

THE NUMBER of Cyprus property sales in November fell by 2% with the total number of contracts deposited falling to 907 compared with the 925 deposited in November 2018 according to the latest official figures published by the Department of Lands and Surveys.

As the Department has yet to publish a breakdown of sales by market segment, we cannot say whether the fall is due to reduction in sales to the local market or the overseas market (or both).

Property sales – November 2019

Although the number of sales in Nicosia, Famagusta and Paphos rose by 29%, 2% and 1% respectively, these gains were more than wiped out falls of 15% in Larnaca and 14% in Limassol.
