Greeks preferred small-to-medium-sized apartments in 2024, according to a nationwide survey by real estate company RE/MAX.

The findings from the largest property market service in Greece indicate that interest for purchases of property between 76 and 100 sq./m reached 26.2%, compared to 23.2% in 2023.

The functionality of a home, combined with low prices and flexibility, are the primary drivers for those seeking dwellings in the property market.

Analyzing thousands of real estate deals in 2024, RE/MAX Greece’s network, with its 86 offices and over 1,200 real estate consultants nationwide, found that the second most popular homes ranged from 51 to 75 square meters, selected by 23.4% of buyers.

Notably, 22.6% of buyers opted for even smaller properties—up to 50 square meters in size. This category remains in high demand, particularly for investment purposes, though it saw a slight decline compared to 2023, when it accounted for 24.7% of transactions.

The data revealed that 18.3% of buyers picked homes between 101 and 150 sq./m, with only 9.5% choosing properties over 151 sq./m.

In Attica, 32.7% of buyers in 2024 opted for homes between 51 and 75 square meters, according to RE/MAX Greece. Properties between 76 and 100 sq./m. followed with 25.7%, while smaller residences up to 50 sq./m.—popular among investment-focused buyers—attracted 16.8% of interest. Homes sized between 101 and 150 sq./m. drew 16.6% of buyers, while only 8.2% chose properties larger than 151 sq./m.

In Thessaloniki, Greece’s second-largest city, the top preference was homes between 76 and 100 sq./m., selected by 33.5% of buyers. Next were properties from 51 to 75 sq./m. at 26.2%, while very small homes up to 50 sq./m. attracted just 12.5% of buyers.
