Greek Property Sales Are Homes Over 20 Years Old, Survey Shows

More than seven in ten property purchases in Greece in 2025 involved residential homes, with three-quarters of those being buildings over 20 years old, reflecting a chronic shortage of new housing stock, according to data from REMAX Greece – the country’s largest real estate network – surveilling property sales and purchases.

The figures, drawn from thousands of completed transactions across the network’s 90 offices and more than 1,200 agents nationwide, show that residential properties accounted for 74.8 percent of all sales in 2025, followed by plots of land at 14.3 percent, agricultural land at 5.8 percent, and commercial properties at 5.1 percent.

Based on the REMAX network, residential property sales accounted for 75.6 percent of houses over 20 years old, while newly built homes up to five years old represented just 12.3 percent of sales. Properties aged six to ten years accounted for a negligible 0.3 percent, while those aged 11 to 15 years made up 2 percent and those aged 16 to 20 years 9.8 percent.
