All articles →CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — October 2026
The board barely moved: twenty-one of twenty-nine markets are unchanged, and the three that crossed two points did so because our own readings changed, not because anything happened in those markets. The top is now a three-way tie — Estonia 74.6, Poland 74.3, Slovenia 74.3 — with three tenths of a point between first and third.
Cyprus’s Housing Pipeline Is Expanding. Will Supply Catch Up?
New residents, foreign purchases and a growing construction pipeline: why further price rises would not be surprising — and what could change the picture.
CASABROVA Global Investor Briefing — September 2026
The Score did not move: no market changed by even half a point, and Estonia edged past Poland into #1 by 0.20 — inside the noise. What moved was the cost of money, and in opposite directions: New Zealand and Korea raised, Israel cut, Canada held, and 12-month Euribor crossed 3%. House prices rose in 25 of the 27 markets we can price for 2025, led by Hungary at +18.3%; only Canada and New Zealand fell.
Q2 2026 Investor Briefing
Our quarterly cross-market briefing: twenty-nine markets, the cost of borrowing as a foreign buyer, cycle position, tax by nationality, and the CASABROVA Score.
Regulation on Steroids: Why Greece is Pushing Investors Away (And Why Cyprus is the Answer)
Greece has entered a phase of "regulation on steroids," systematically dismantling the very incentives that saved its real estate market a decade ago. Smart money is crossing the Mediterranean to Cyprus.
The Silent Wealth Migration: Capital Flight from the UK to Cyprus and the UAE
The UK Non-Dom regime is dead. CASABROVA tracks where UHNWI capital is flowing — and the luxury property squeeze it will trigger in Cyprus and Dubai.
Market Review — Nicosia
Nicosia is Cyprus's capital and the world's last divided capital city. The property market focuses on residential rentals driven by government workers, university students, and the growing tech sector. Prices are lower than coastal cities, offering yields of 4-6%. The Engomi, Strovolos, and Old Town areas are popular for investment.
