Positive news for Greece’s real estate market, as the Prime Minister’s announcements at the Thessaloniki International Fair 2025 confirmed that property taxes will remain low throughout 2026. This development creates a stable and favorable environment for both property owners and investors.
The government has decided to keep real estate taxation unchanged, offering predictability and security. This is a significant relief, as property owners can now proceed with renting, renovating, or even bringing properties back onto the market without the fear of additional burdens. At the same time, tax stability makes Greece a more attractive choice for buyers and investors who are seeking a safe and predictable market.
Particularly noteworthy is the special regime introduced for small villages with up to 1,500 residents. In 2026, taxation will be reduced by 50%, while from 2027 property owners in these areas will benefit from a complete exemption. This measure is expected to boost demand for real estate in the countryside, contributing to the revitalization of small villages and creating new opportunities both for permanent residence and for tourism development.
The stability in property taxation strengthens confidence in the Greek market, encourages new purchases and investments, and facilitates long-term planning for both domestic and international buyers.
As the Prime Minister emphasized: “Property taxes will remain low for one more year, offering security and relief to both owners and investors.”
