House buying in Greece

[...with] increase in rents and the strong demand from Greeks and foreigners for housing... If we take into account that the sale price per sq.m. for relatively old apartments and in areas considered "affordable", it ranges from 1,300 to 1,500 euros and corresponds to the monthly earnings of a well-paid, to some extent, employee, it is understood why all roads seem to lead to housing. In other words, it takes about six years to save all the earnings - that is, without the employee incurring any living expenses - to acquire an apartment worth 90,000 euros with an area of 70 sq.m.

In 2020, there was a decrease of -8.3% in the demand for real estate for rent and by -2.2% in terms of demand for purchase. A few months later, however, not a few citizens started the "safari" again to buy or rent .
