Political Dynamics Affects Cyprus Real Estate Market
The political dynamics in Cyprus will be a big deciding factor in the real estate market development. The developers in the northern part of this island country are rooting for the incumbent president, Tassos Papadopoulos. It is believed that his re-election will set the pace of the beleaguered real industry and cause it to be more active.
The current situation has brought on a certain ambivalence in the investment trends. People are adopting a wait and see attitude. It is believed that the northern part will benefit greatly if President Tassos Papadopoulos will remain seated in power in terms of surge in the property market.
People from the northern part are anxious that the other candidates are going to take steps regarding the long standing dispute between the two factions of the country and as such may greatly affect the real property market.
This apprehension is shared by those coming from other sectors such as the real estate developers, property owners most of whom are foreign nationals and even hoteliers. They believe that the prevailing condition will be secured if the president will see another term. Even those who are in the construction business are wary of the situation.
Contractors, however, are on the other side of the fence. They are hopeful that procedures will be undertaken to unite the warring factions and that a peace process will be undertaken.
All these issues will only be thoroughly addressed and will be highly dependent on the outcome of the forthcoming presidential elections. Whoever wins will face a great challenge though.
