The Greek real estate market continues its upward momentum. According to the latest figures from the Bank of Greece, apartment prices increased by 7.7% nationwide in the third quarter of 2025 compared to the same period last year. Major urban centers saw even stronger growth, with Athens up 9.6% and Thessaloniki 8.9%.
A closer look at property age reveals that older apartments (over 5 years old) recorded the highest growth at 8.5%, while new apartments (up to 5 years old) rose by 6.6%. This trend continues from previous years, highlighting sustained demand for established properties in the urban market. For context, in 2024, the average annual increase for new apartments was 10.2%, and 8.3% for older apartments.
Regionally, the data shows:
Athens: +6.6%
Thessaloniki: +9.6%
Other major cities: +8.9%
Remaining areas: +8.5%
Comparing these figures with 2024, the growth in Athens has slowed slightly from 8.5%, while Thessaloniki saw a decrease from 11.7%, suggesting a stabilizing yet still strong urban market. Smaller cities and other regions continue to show steady growth, indicating a healthy and broad-based rise in property values across the country.
Looking at longer-term trends, apartment prices have been rising consistently since 2023, when the national average increase was 13.9%. This gradual moderation in growth reflects a maturing market, balancing strong demand with increasing supply and ongoing urban development projects.
For investors and homeowners, the third quarter of 2025 confirms that Greek apartments—especially in urban centers—remain a solid investment. Older properties, in particular, are outperforming newer units, while all regions of the country continue to see meaningful value appreciation. Whether for personal use or rental purposes, the market shows resilience and promising returns.
In summary, urban apartments are driving the market, with strong demand and steady growth across both new and older properties. The Greek real estate sector remains vibrant, making this a key period for market participants to evaluate opportunities and make informed decisions.
