A. Foreign Demand Insights
1. Top Foreign Markets — Where Demand Is Coming From
Germany (DE) remains the leading source of foreign leads at 13.56% of the total. Russia (RU) surged into second place at 11.94%, followed by Great Britain (GB) at 9.57%. Israel (IL) and Greece (GR) form a strong next tier at 8.24% and 8.17% respectively — a notable rise for both.
2. Rental vs. Sale — What Foreign Buyers Want
The rental segment continued to dominate and the gap widened: "real‑estate‑to‑rent" generated roughly 3.75× the interest of "real‑estate‑for‑sale" (up from ~2× in Q1).
Within rentals, apartments and flats are overwhelmingly the strongest lead source, with houses a clear second, followed by rooms/flatmates and then commercial property. For sales, apartments and flats again led, followed by houses, with plots of land showing notable interest.
3. Geographic Demand Within Cyprus
Limassol stands out as the most in-demand city, followed by Larnaca and Paphos, with Nicosia and Famagusta also showing notable interest.
Within these cities, the standout districts were:
4. Size & Price Preferences
Foreign users continue to favor smaller properties, with the under‑95 sqm bands by far the strongest, while large homes (240+ sqm) still draw some interest. Demand remains price‑sensitive.
On the rental side, demand is heavily weighted toward the lower end.
For sales, interest splits into three main price groups:
5. Bedroom Preference
The 1–2 bedroom and studio segments dominate. This continues to align with strong rental demand and the preference for smaller, affordable units among foreign visitors.

6. Overall Engagement
The second quarter of 2026 delivered robust engagement across Bazaraki's Real Estate vertical, with approximately 6.46 million listing views recorded between April and June.
7. Monthly Trends
Activity opened at 2.35 million views in April, declining to 1.96 million in May before recovering to 2.15 million in June . This April-peak, May-dip, June-recovery pattern mirrors the dynamic seen in Q1 (February dip, March recovery) and is consistent with mid-quarter seasonality. Notably, April 2026 outperformed all three Q1 months, suggesting a spring uplift in demand.
8. Property Preferences
Apartments and flats are the most popular property types for both renting and buying.
Renters are even more focused on apartments and flats, which make up around 67% of rental views. For buyers, apartments and flats also lead, but with a lower share of around 56% of sale views.
Houses are more popular among buyers than renters. They get around 27% of sale views, compared to around 21% of rental views.
Plots of land are mainly interesting to buyers. They make up around 6.9% of sale views, but almost no rental interest.
Rooms and flatmates are more relevant for renters and receive more rental interest than plots of land.
Property condition only applies to properties for sale, not rentals. Among buyers, resale properties get the most attention, followed by under-construction properties and then brand-new properties. This shows that resale properties are the main driver of buyer interest.
