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.

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 — Paphos
Paphos, a UNESCO World Heritage city on Cyprus's southwest coast, has become a magnet for international property buyers thanks to its combination of Golden Visa eligibility, favorable tax regime, and Mediterranean lifestyle. The city's British expat community provides reliable long-term rental demand, while tourism supports a thriving short-term rental market.
Property prices of €1,500–3,000/m² offer excellent value compared to equivalent Mediterranean destinations. New-build developments near the marina and Kato Paphos tourist area command premium rents, with gross yields of 5–7% achievable on well-managed properties. Cyprus's 0% inheritance tax and competitive corporate tax rate of 12.5% enhance the investment proposition.
For Israeli investors, Paphos holds particular appeal: direct flights from Tel Aviv, cultural familiarity, a growing Israeli community, and an English-speaking legal and business environment. The combination of EU membership, residency pathways, and genuine rental income makes Paphos one of the most complete investment packages in the eastern Mediterranean.
