Price growth confirmed by central bank
The Bank of Greece data show residential prices rose 5.5 percent year on year nationwide during the April-to-June period. The figure reflects continued demand in both urban and regional markets.
Spiti mou III expected to add pressure
The new round of the Spiti mou subsidy scheme is set to launch without changes to the maximum age of properties that qualify. Industry observers say this unchanged rule will channel additional buyer demand into the existing stock and support further price gains.
