Cyprus

A couple of weeks ago I wrote a post based on information I had from local reports and the Minister of Health regarding the incoming H1N1 vaccines...this is yet to happen as proposed. Vaccinations were supposed to begin October 15th, I have yet to hear of anyone who has been able to receive them. Now, with flu season upon us many feel worried with all the media hype and deaths. A school in Limassol...

Starting October 5, Cyprus gradually began receiving the H1N1 flu vaccine. Minister of Health Christos Patsalides announced that vaccinations will begin after October 15. At that time the European Pharmaceutical Organisation will give the final approval for the vaccine. The government estimated it will receive vaccines for 400,000 people covering 50% of the population in Cyprus. Patsalides said vaccines...

This has been one of the most hectic summers of my life! Summer is supposed to be when life goes slower in Cyprus, especially in August. Last two years August has been a very laid-back time of year, even though there are many tourists and would-be residents who are looking at Paphos as a retirement or second-home destination. In August, people tend to concentrate on the more important things in life...

Selling Cyprus Property is a very competitive business even in a good market, in this slower market it can be backbiting and aggressive between agencies and agents. There are of course many honest, ethically centered hard-working business people out there, however sometimes even the nicest people turning on you when you are competing to sell the same property. There are times when it's a race to see...

January 5th seemed like the beginning of the new business year as all of a sudden we got an influx of potential buyers. After almost complete silence during the weeks leading up to Christmas and afterward, I was happy to start getting back into the swing of things again.  The business was not as slow as last year, but slow enough to make me consider how bad the housing crisis will affect Cyprus. All...

This financial crisis is sweeping across the globe and it is becoming clear that most continents will be affected in one way or another.

Why do sellers in Cyprus lower their prices and not tell all agents simultaneously? The question of why sellers price their homes way over what they are willing to accept seems obvious and I won't go into that now!  As an agent in Paphos, who charges a very low and competitive rate, I would assume that my sellers would want to ensure that their home is listed with me at the same price as all other...
