Specialists retailers are bucking the slowdown trend in property sales.//(Click on photo to go to property page)//

It’s already mid 2009 and property forecasts continue to be gloomy. Many developers in Paphos have been affected severely and whilst the building activity has not ground to a complete stop, many leading firms have downed tools, retrenched personnel and have battened down the hatches to wait out the slowdown.

However selling and buying property continues in a certain niche market. After many years of healthy growth in the property market the resale market has finally come into its own. Fitzgerald Estates are re-sale specialists and according to Daryl Fitzgerald the owner, ”We are very busy at the moment with people wanting to buy or sell their property. In fact, in the 6 years that we have been in business, we are the busiest we have ever been”.

British nationals are still by far the largest group of foreign property owners and buyers. Buyers seem to think that prices will reduce even further and are keen to get the most for their money. Most sellers have realised that the Cyprus property bubble has come to an end, but some have to accept the reality that they paid too much for their properties in the first place and therefore need to adjust their prices accordingly.

As a successful property marketing company, we know the ‘pulse’ of the market and have the ‘know-how’ to achieve excellent results for clients in the Paphos area. We can see that the Paphos property market has bottomed out and will slowly increase in the months ahead.

Why? There are two main reasons for this.

Firstly, the housing market in the UK seems to be picking up because of low interest rates. This has a knock-on effect here in Cyprus as many people are leaving the UK to live in sunny countries and we are now seeing a big increase in serious enquiries, viewings and sales.

Secondly, the property market in Paphos is remarkably stable because most people do not have to sell. Of course, some people who bought from new in the last few years, with the promise of “good rental returns” and “high resale values” and who borrowed heavily to finance their purchase, may have to sell.

As resale specialists we know that there are great opportunities in the market place for both sellers and buyers. Developers may be facing a tough year, but interest in re-sales is increasing from all quarters.

What the experts say – Property Industry and the ‘Overpriced’ Factor

Anyone who’s been to Cyprus two years running in the last 10 years would have been amazed at the growth of new properties. Paphos seemed to have spearheaded the property construction ‘gold rush’ with new developers entering the market at record speed, keen to cash in on record profits.

The global financial crisis affected the property market negatively with developers reeling at the declining sales. Much of this is attributed to the international financial and credit crisis, however, the general consensus is that property values been exuberantly inflated.
