The official market signal

The official market signal

The Bank of Greece reported provisional year-on-year apartment-price growth of 5.2% in Athens in Q1 2026. Across Greece, its new-apartment category rose 6.0%. In this release, “new” means up to five years old; it does not mean only newly launched developments.

What this does — and does not — measure

What this does — and does not — measure

The release uses data collected from credit institutions. It is an index of change, not an asking price per square metre for Marousi, Agia Paraskevi or Alimos. It cannot value a specific apartment or establish a future return.

Neighbourhood context

How to calculate a comparable price per square metre

How to calculate a comparable price per square metre

Divide a clearly defined price by the matching stated area. Keep the definition consistent across the homes you compare. If one quote includes parking or storage and another does not, show those differences rather than hiding them inside a single number.
