10% increasing investment (annually)
Property prices in Northern Cyprus are rising by up to ten percent per annum in key investment zones. Elsewhere, prices have remained very steady. This is in sharp contradiction to falling prices in other European countries. The reason why Northern Cyprus property prices have remained so stable is that properties have been constructed with private capital and not with loans from the international financial system and because the Northern Cyprus property market was insulated from the global banking crisis.
The most lucrative resale strategy is buying an object at the zero phases of construction when the builder sells it at the lowest possible price. After the construction is complete (usually within one to two years), the object is sold at the market price of completed projects. Property value increases an average by thirty percent during the building process. Buying a property in Northern Cyprus and make a safe long-term investment.
