The Greek real estate market saw an influx of over €5 billion in 2023, driving home prices close to record highs. According to Alpha Bank, investments in real estate management jumped by €1 billion compared to 2022, though they remain far below the pre-crisis peak of €25.6 billion in 2007.
A major catalyst for the surge in 2023 was the revamped “Golden Visa” program. Announced in late 2022, the changes prompted a wave of property purchases as investors rushed to secure permits under more favorable terms before the August 2023 deadline.
This year, residential investments accounted for 14.3% of total investments in the first nine months of 2024, contributing 2.3% to Greece’s GDP.

In 2023, apartment prices rose at an average annual rate of 13.8%, up from 11.9% in 2022. The Bank of Greece reported a 7.8% rise in apartment prices in Q3 2024 compared to the same period in 2023.
For 2023:
- New apartments (under 5 years old) saw prices increase by 12.9%, compared to 12.5% in 2022.
