Foreign inflows into the Greek property market reached €12.4 billion between 2019 and 2025, a dramatic increase compared with the preceding 17 years.
Bank of Greece data show that foreign capital entering Greek real estate during 2019-2025 was almost four times the amount recorded between 2002 and 2018. The data reinforce the growing importance of Greece in the investment strategies of international buyers and institutional capital.
Despite this momentum, foreign purchases still represented a relatively limited share of the domestic market in 2025. Properties worth €23.5 billion changed hands during the year, while foreign real-estate investment amounted to €2.05 billion, or 8.7% of the total transactional value.
The influence of real estate on overall foreign direct investment has nevertheless been substantial. Its share of net FDI rose from 7.4% in 2013 to 47% in 2023 and 46% in 2024, before falling to 16.6% in 2025 as total foreign investment across the Greek economy expanded.
The figures illustrate both the sustained international appetite for Greek property and the need to balance investment-led growth with housing affordability for domestic buyers.
