Numbers on the Greek property market, taken from official releases. We report the Bank of Greece residential price indices, ELSTAT statistics, asking prices, rents and yields, transaction volumes and Golden Visa figures, usually with our own tables. Each data article states which dataset it uses, the period it covers and whether earlier figures were revised. Where sources disagree, we show both. The aim is simple: give buyers abroad the real figures behind the headlines, with a link to every source so the numbers can be checked.
