Housing stock is crumbling, demand to focus on newer homes
A considerable portion of the existing stock of unsold residences across Greece is expected to remain empty and looks set for gradual abandonment, a trend likely to grow when the market finally revives.
Chartered surveyors estimate that some 150,000-180,000 homes are being completely ignored in the property market as demand is near zero. What’s more, when demand does start to recover, it will mainly focus on new or under-construction apartments instead of older residences, even if the latter do have more attractive prices.
