Why the asking ranges sit above the achieved median
The achieved figure is the middle price actually paid across every residential transaction in the district, including older resale apartments and inland villages. The asking ranges cover property currently advertised, which skews newer, larger and more coastal, and asking prices are negotiated down before completion. Use the achieved median to compare one district with another, and the asking range to judge whether a specific advertised price is reasonable for its type and location.
These are district averages. Prices vary sharply between neighbourhoods in the same district, and between streets in the same neighbourhood: a seafront block in Kato Paphos and an inland village twenty minutes away sit in the same row of this table. Before you offer on a specific property, check what comparable homes in that immediate area have actually sold for in Department of Lands and Surveys registry records. That is current transaction evidence rather than a district-wide average, and it is the only figure that tells you whether one asking price is reasonable.
A note on rental yields
Gross rental yield is annual rent divided by the price paid, before ownership costs. Net yield is what remains after those costs. On Cyprus coastal and holiday stock, rent is often seasonal: peak summer occupancy does not continue at the same rate through winter.
Before you treat any gross figure as spendable income, deduct empty periods and seasonal gaps, agency or management fees, common expenses, insurance, repairs and furniture replacement, landlord-paid utilities, municipal fees, and tax on rental income. As a working range, those deductions commonly remove 20-40% from the gross figure, and more on poorly managed or heavily seasonal units.
This site does not publish a district yield percentage. Yield is property-specific. It depends on the price actually paid, the rent that unit can sustain across a full year, and the cost structure above. Use achieved transaction evidence and a full-year rent assumption, not a marketing yield on an asking price.
Limassol is the Republic of Cyprus’s main commercial and port city, with a large share of international corporate and professional demand for apartments. That demand supports liquidity in well-located modern stock; it does not guarantee price appreciation or rental income for any individual property.

What shapes demand | Financial and professional services, the port, and international relocators concentrate apartment demand along the coastal and business corridors. Flagship leisure and hospitality projects (including City of Dreams Mediterranean, opened 2023) affect the western approach; they are context, not a return forecast. |
Is Limassol the most expensive district?
Yes. Among CYSTAT’s five district medians for 2024, Limassol is the highest at EUR 2,975 per m², ahead of Paphos (EUR 2,010), Larnaca (EUR 1,933), Nicosia (EUR 1,898) and Famagusta (EUR 1,757). Famagusta district figures cover the Republic-controlled area only: Ayia Napa, Protaras and Paralimni. See the district price index for achieved medians and Q3 2026 asking ranges. Sources and method.

Compared with Paphos, Larnaca and Nicosia, Limassol also concentrates more international corporate demand and premium new-build stock. Higher medians do not mean every Limassol unit is a better buy.
Where in Limassol do British buyers actually buy?
British and other international buyers concentrate on the coastal strip from Limassol Marina through Germasogeia and Agios Tychonas, and on modern apartment stock near the business districts. Inland Germasogeia and Potamos Germasogeias are common when the brief prioritises space over seafront.
What are the risks specific to buying in Limassol?
The main Limassol-specific risks for a buyer are paying a seafront or marina premium that the rental or resale market will not support for that unit, off-plan exposure on tower stock, and treating a district median as if it described marina residences. Title and planning checks remain mandatory on every purchase in the Republic of Cyprus.

I am moving to Limassol with my children and considering a British or English-medium school. Where should I start?
Limassol has the densest cluster of English-instruction private schools on the Ministry of Education lists, so many relocating families shortlist here when they want a British or English-medium pathway. Treat school choice as its own workstream: verify each school on the current Ministry private-education lists, request fee schedules and entry rules directly from the school, then align housing with a realistic commute once a pathway looks viable. Cyprus Gate does not rank schools or place children.
