Greece’s real estate sector has entered a new era, which is marked by stability, high demand and long-term opportunity. While many European markets are experiencing volatility, Greece’s is holding firm. The numbers point to a maturing, balanced market that still offers healthy returns for those who invest wisely.
Whether you are looking for lifestyle value, capital growth or rental income, understanding what’s behind this momentum is the key to making informed decisions.
According to the Bank of Greece, apartment prices rose by 7.3% over the last year, indicating a more measured pace compared to 13.9% in 2023. Interestingly, regional hubs like Thessaloniki and popular tourist areas are outpacing Athens, with price increases of up to 8.8% in the second quarter of 2025.
Looking ahead, property prices are forecasted to grow by approximately 3% annually until 2030. Rental yields remain attractive, averaging between 5% and 12% in urban and tourism-driven locations. This combination of income and capital growth continues to position Greek real estate as a strategic investment choice.
Demand is being driven by a combination of market conditions and investor activity. Golden Visa applications rose by over 30% in early 2025, reflecting ongoing international interest. With new construction remaining limited, buyers are turning to ready or renovated properties, particularly those with high energy efficiency ratings.
At the same time, developments such as The Elliniko Project are elevating entire regions. This transformative project on the Athenian Riviera introduces Greece’s first residential skyscraper and expansive public spaces, contributing to the wider appeal of modern, luxury living in Athens and its surroundings.
The Greek government continues to support real estate through targeted policy reforms. A new bill from the Ministry of Economy will introduce expanded tax relief for families and more flexible rental terms, both aimed at addressing housing shortages and increasing rental options.
In addition, the National Bank of Greece projects €45 billion will be invested into the real estate sector by 2030. Much of this will go into new construction and the upgrading of existing housing stock. From 2026, the government also plans to abolish the current 24% VAT on new property purchases, maintaining only the 3% transfer tax — a move expected to further encourage buyer activity.
