What do St. Barbara, Taurus, Lagonissi and Attica Square have in common? They are, according to experts, among the most promising areas for investment in real estate to Attica – And let them not belong to the “first names” of the market.
This new geography of yields in Attica was at the center of interest in the Premium Real Estate Forum. Spitogatos’s CEO presented data, showing that the highest real estate regions are not necessarily prominent or traditional popular.
On the contrary, there are neighborhoods and suburbs that until recently moved “under the radar” of the market. Among them are Agia Varvara, Aigaleo, New Philadelphia, Lavrio, Oropos, Markopoulo, Lagonissi, Marathon, Koropi, the areas around Patision, Attica Square, Victoria, Victoria, Sepolia Kokkinia, Byron, Zografou, Spring and Saint Stefanos.
Answering the question of what makes an area of ”hot”, in addition to well -known parameters such as infrastructure or urban renovations, Antonis Fiorakis, CEO of Protio, focused on a less expected but extremely effective indicator, which is the focus. As she explained, when a popular restaurant or bar opens in an area, it acts as a lever for changing its public image. The presence of a “in” meeting point can upgrade the area to the eyes of the world and indirectly enhance the demand for housing or investment.
For his part, Ellika Real Estate’s Vasilis Axarlis CEO focused on the coastal zones after Varkiza, such as Lagonissi, Saronida and Sounio, claiming that they have a strong development perspective. According to him, large plots, good accessibility and increased investment interest create a mixture that can turn these areas into new flagship markets.
In the same forum there was another interesting development, which concerns the growing involvement of Greek citizens in the auction process. The specialized Landea platform spoke of a record of real estate transfers through this route, which is attributed to the greater transparency of the process, easier access to information and, of course, the opportunities that many individuals and investors are looking for. For June, more than 4,500 auctions are scheduled, of which 2,382 relate to residential real estate, 943 business premises, 505 warehouses and parking spaces and 727 plots and parcels.
All of this is formed at a time when the Bank of Greece records an increase in apartments by 6.8% in the first quarter of 2025 compared to the corresponding quarter of the previous year. However, this percentage seems to be short of sellers’ expectations, as reflected in the Spitogatos network. According to the platform, the average requested home selling price increased by 8.8% over the same period, forming a two -speed market image.
This difference between real and demanded prices is partly attributed to the context of increased demand, caused by my home II program. This program has strengthened purchasing mobility mainly from younger ages, but it seems that it has also created some distortions in prices, raising their prices.
The real estate market in Attica, in other words, does not brake. On the contrary, it is redefined. Investors, young and old, are looking for goodwill not necessarily in the center or traditional “good suburb”, but in neighborhoods with dynamic, character and perspective.
