Limassol vs Paphos: where to buy a house

Sources and method. Achieved figures are CYSTAT median prices per square metre for 2024, derived from Department of Lands and Surveys registry records and published in December 2025. Asking ranges are a Cyprus Gate compilation of vendor asking prices advertised during Q3 2026, cross-checked against DLS registry records for the same districts. Ranges are typical bands rather than limits; individual properties fall outside them. Reviewed quarterly; this page was last reviewed on 18 October 2026.

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.
