📊 Greek Real Estate Market Update (Q1 2026)
• The Greek provinces are now leading price growth, recording a +6.9% annual increase in apartment prices.
• Thessaloniki follows closely with +6.4%, showing continued strong demand.
• Other major cities register +5.4%, while Athens shows more moderate growth at +5.2%.
➡️ This marks a clear shift in market dynamics: investment interest is gradually moving beyond Athens toward regional areas.
Key drivers include tourism expansion, rising demand for holiday homes, and more attractive entry prices outside major urban centers.
📉 Compared to 2020, the trend has clearly inverted — Athens previously led with double-digit growth, while today regional markets are outperforming in momentum.
Overall, the market is entering a more mature phase: slower national growth, but stronger opportunities in areas outside the capital.
