Asking prices on Bazaraki run ~17% above realised transactions in Nicosia — partly the asking-vs-realised gap (sellers list high, deals close lower), partly Bazaraki's listing pool skewing toward new-build / prime stock. Plan your budget against the realised number; use the asking number for what's currently on the market.
