Following the strong recovery recorded in 2024, successful residential property auctions in Greece declined in 2025, not as a result of weakening demand, but due to the more cautious stance adopted by bidders.

According to ReDataset, current data indicate that investors remain active; however, they are taking a more measured and strategic approach, carefully evaluating the risk, pricing, and location of each property.

Notably, the proportion of successful auctions fell by 4.1% year on year, reflecting a more disciplined decision-making process rather than a decline in investment appetite.

This heightened selectivity is evident in the fact that 66.9% of successful auctions involve properties priced below €100,000 (€50,000–€100,000), totaling 1,989 successful auctions. This highlights where liquidity is concentrated and which price ranges are considered safer. In 2024, this category reached a peak of 2,563 auctions. Meanwhile, properties priced up to €50,000 recorded 1,646 successful auctions, also down year on year, while successful auctions for properties priced between €100,000 and €200,000 fell to 1,322 in 2025 from 1,522 in 2024. In the segment above €200,000, successful auctions remain limited and largely unchanged at 482.

Mid-Sized Residential Properties at the Core of the Market

By size, mid-sized residential properties (51–110 sq.m.) continue to form the backbone of the auction market, accounting for 55.6% of successful cases. These properties offer greater marketability and broader appeal, whether for owner occupation or investment purposes. In Attica, auction success is not confined to isolated areas; many municipalities report success rates above 20%, with Palaio Faliro standing out, reaffirming the enduring attractiveness of certain urban markets.

Outside the Attica basin, Central Macedonia and the Aegean islands are the most dynamic regions, hosting municipalities with the strongest performance in successful auctions. This trend is driven by both tourism demand and long-term investment interest.

As the company emphasizes, the market’s key message is not the volume of activity but the precision of investment choices. Capital remains active but is deployed selectively, focusing on specific price points, property sizes, and locations.

Overall, this reflects a more mature auction market, characterized by investors with heightened risk awareness and clearly defined return objectives.
