For the second consecutive year, Spitogatos CEO Dimitris Melachrinos, together with the event organizer and journalist Pavlos Pantazopoulos, analyzed user search data related to property purchases, rentals, and real estate investments, comparing the findings with previous years. The aim of the analysis was to highlight the “silent” shifts that signal the next trends in the real estate market.
The biggest surprise of 2025 was Piraeus. At a time when many areas of Attica have become increasingly unaffordable for the average buyer or tenant, the country’s largest port emerged as a major demand magnet, driven by the combination of metro access and comparatively lower prices.
Specifically, Piraeus:
- Ranked 2nd in searches for home purchases, up from 5th in 2024
- Ranked 2nd in rental searches, up from 6th during the 2022–2024 period
- Entered the top ten searches for land purchases for the first time (9th place)
Also ranked highly in searches for warehouses and retail premises
As Mr. Melachrinos noted, “the surge in interest in Piraeus shows that it now attracts demand from all categories of buyers and tenants, surpassing areas that had topped the rankings for many years.”
Peristeri: A Rise That Is Reshaping the Market
Equally striking was the performance of Peristeri, which has dynamically entered the demand map, capitalizing on metro connectivity and more affordable pricing.
- 6th in searches for home purchases, despite not having appeared in the top ten between 2022 and 2024
- 3rd in searches for residential rentals
- 4th in searches for retail premises and 3rd for warehouses
Mr. Papageorgiadis emphasized that “the metro and the overall upgrading of an area can radically change market dynamics,” adding that Peristeri is now witnessing rapid sales of newly built properties.
Rentals: New Areas Come to the Fore
High rental prices in traditionally popular districts appear to have pushed households toward alternative options. As a result, Aigaleo and Nea Ionia entered the top ten most popular areas for rentals for the first time in 2025.
At the same time:
- Glyfada, Kallithea, and Nea Smyrni dropped in the rankings
- Palaio Faliro exited the top ten
According to Mr. Melachrinos, “the market is adjusting to the new pricing environment, a trend that is clearly reflected in search behavior.” Mr. Papageorgiadis placed particular emphasis on Nea Ionia, describing it as “the more affordable option in the Northern Suburbs,” while noting that Chalandri remains the leading choice in the area.
Land Market: Eastern Attica Gains Momentum
Significant reshuffling was also recorded in searches for land purchases. Acharnes surged to 2nd place, despite not having featured in the top ten previously, primarily as a more affordable residential alternative close to the Northern Suburbs.
In parallel:
- Artemida (Loutsa) rose to 3rd place
- Markopoulo ranked 7th
- Piraeus and Gerakas entered the top ten for the first time
As Mr. Melachrinos noted, Eastern Attica confirms that the upward trend recorded in 2024 was not temporary. Mr. Papageorgiadis added that “the increased interest indicates that the area’s growth potential has not yet been exhausted.”
