If you’re selling a property in Cyprus, you have to make sure you’re not looking at the forest through the trees. The market is saturated. Buyers have options. Lots of them. Without a solid plan, even great properties get ignored. 

In 2024, property prices in Cyprus went up by 8.28%. Apartments led the charge with a 12.7% jump, while house prices grew by 5.7%. Larnaca saw the biggest rise at 11%, followed by Limassol at 10.7%. Prices are climbing, and the market is moving. It can always be a good time to sell, if you do it right.

Standing out takes more than luck. It takes smart moves, good timing, and the right approach. From pricing to presentation, every detail counts.

Nail the First Impression

Buyers look at photos first. According to the National Association of Realtors (NAR), high-quality images and videos can boost a property’s appeal by 47%. Professional photos, drone shots, and virtual tours let buyers picture themselves in the home. Big hotels use this trick to attract guests. Real estate should too.

Descriptions matter. They need to tell the buyer a story. Show buyers how the home fits into their lives. Highlight the best parts, like location, design, or recent upgrades. Give them a reason to want it. Adding a personal touch, like describing a perfect morning on the balcony, can help buyers picture themselves living there.

Price It Right

Price it too high, and it sits. A report from The Times found that overpriced homes take 73 days to sell, while fairly priced ones go in just 28 days. The right price brings in buyers fast.

Think like retail. Stores change prices based on demand. Sellers should do the same. Watch the market, adjust, and attract more offers. A real estate expert can help set the right price by comparing similar sales and understanding buyer demand.

Adding perks like covering closing costs, offering a flexible move-in date, or including appliances can also sweeten the deal and speed up the sale. Simple incentives can make all the difference.

Make Showings Count

Every viewing should feel inviting. Clean spaces, good lighting, and thoughtful staging help buyers see the home’s potential. Luxury stores make their spaces welcoming—homes should do the same.

Flexible viewing times, private tours, and brochures with key details help buyers make decisions. Small things, like fresh flowers, a warm scent, or a well-set dining table, can make a big impact.

Fixing minor issues before showings is key. A well-maintained home makes buyers feel confident about their choice. Quick fixes like a fresh coat of paint, fixing squeaky doors, or decluttering can make a big difference.
