The Housing Situation in Cyprus: High Homeownership Rates and Comfortable Living Spaces
November 27, 2025
Eurostat published data on the housing situation in the EU, showing that 69.4% of Cypriots own their homes. The rental rate in Cyprus is only 30.6%, which is below the EU average. Cyprus stands out for its housing quality, with only 2% of the population living in overcrowded homes. Conversely, 70% of Cypriots live in homes with more space than they need, the highest rate in the EU. This indicates that Cypriots enjoy comfortable living conditions despite the rental percentage.
