Foreign demand for cyprus homes

Cyprus has enjoyed continued growth in overseas demand for homes last month.

Foreign buyers were able to negotiate significant discounts on properties because of Cyprus' ailing economy and poor domestic property sales market.

Official figures reveal that a total of 187 property contracts were deposited by foreigners compared with 154 in May last year, a 21% increase year on year.

Property sales improved in most parts of Cyprus last month, led by an 86% annual hike in Nicosia property sales.
