Foreign investment in Greek real estate has exceeded €14 billion over the past decade, highlighting the market’s strong and consistent growth. Between 2016 and 2024, investment levels increased nearly tenfold, rising from €222 million to €2.75 billion, reflecting growing international confidence in Greece’s property sector.
This upward trend has been driven by a combination of factors, including the Golden Visa program, the stabilization of the Greek economy, and the country’s increasing appeal as a safe and attractive destination. At the same time, geopolitical developments in the wider region have encouraged many foreign investors to turn to Greece for stability and long-term opportunities.
Greece continues to attract a diverse range of international buyers seeking second homes, holiday properties, or investment opportunities. Key locations such as Attica and Thessaloniki remain particularly popular, while demand is also strong across the rest of the country, especially from European buyers.
In 2025, the market recorded a moderate correction of approximately 25%, mainly due to changes in the Golden Visa program, including the increase of the minimum investment threshold to €800,000 in prime areas. Additional regulatory changes also contributed to a temporary slowdown in activity.
Despite this adjustment, overall demand remains solid. Most foreign buyers rely on their own funds, enabling faster transactions, and many visit Greece multiple times before making a final decision. While only a smaller percentage intends to relocate permanently, a significant number remain open to the possibility.
Overall, the Greek real estate market continues to be seen as a stable and attractive investment destination, with strong long-term prospects supported by international demand and favorable market conditions.
