Real estate in Greece and especially in Attica continues to attract foreign buyers and it is no coincidence that funds amounting to around 1.102 billion euros entered the domestic market from abroad in the first half of 2023, according to the latest data from the Bank of Greece, an amount that translates into a percentage increase of almost 40% compared to the corresponding period last year.

One in two foreign real estate buyers prefer Greece for the purpose of investment, while one in five proceeds to purchase for owner-occupied housing. These findings result from research by RE/MAX Greece based on completed sales and confirm that foreign investors choose the Greek real estate market consistently and over time, while many come to Greece permanently after their retirement.

Despite the real estate crisis, the demand for holiday homes in Greece is increasing, especially for luxury ones.

German Welt reports that "Engel & Völkers sees increased demand for holiday properties".

"In Europe, coastal areas in countries such as Spain, Italy and Greece are among the most popular areas for buying holiday homes," says Sven Odia, Global CEO of Engel & Völkers.
