The Greek national average stands at €2,561/m², after residential prices rose 8.6% in 2024 and continued growing through 2025–2026. Attica — the Athens region — is up 71.1% since 2017, and off-plan units in our developer network have appreciated 32.7% on average over a typical delivery cycle. Bands below are indicative, drawn from transaction comparables in the BUY GREECE network, July 2026.

Two charts, no decoration: what Attica prices have done since 2017, and what gross long-lease yields run by market today.
Gross yields before tax and management; short-term letting can run higher where AMA registration is available — see the STR rules guide. Off-plan is the outlier: +32.7% average appreciation over a delivery cycle across our developer network.
Heat intensity marks gross rental yield by market — the Ionian burns brightest at up to 6.8%, while Attica pairs mid-5% yields with the strongest price growth in Greece. Tap any market to open its guide.

Price growth figures reference the Bank of Greece residential price index and public market data. Price bands and yields are indicative ranges drawn from transaction comparables across the BUY GREECE network — our Glyfada office, 13+ developer partners and 9,000+ verified properties — as of July 2026. American Buyer Index rankings are computed from approximately 295,000 search impressions reaching the BUY GREECE platform over the trailing 90 days, combined with qualified enquiry data. They measure demand reaching our platform, not the whole market.
