The real estate market is entering a more mature and balanced phase. At Prodexpo 2025, industry executives predicted further but milder price rises after the sharp post-pandemic surge.

As was also emphasized, despite the improvement of procedures through digitalization, delays in transfers continue to be a brake, highlighting the structural weaknesses of the market.

Lefteris Potamianos, president of the Panhellenic Federation of Real Estate Agents, noted that the Greek market remains resilient; however, "the slowdown in its dynamics highlights the gap between the values and real possibilities of households."

He added that when the middle class is struggling and the market is driven mainly by demand from abroad, the issues of resilience and depth arise. At the same time, he spoke of a lack of consultation with the State, which is proceeding with programs such as "My House I and II" without cooperation with the real estate market players, creating new distortions.

Two main issues stand out, according to him: delays in transfers, which "freeze" liquidity and the inactive building stock, a "huge dead capital" that remains unexploited.
