What it means for buyers
Asking sale prices are still rising nationally, in Attica and in Thessaloniki, but more slowly than a year ago in all three. Attica is the only one of the three where rent growth picked up, to 5% from 4.8%. On these asking figures, a year’s rent in the Southern Suburbs equals about 3.8% of the asking price per m², and about 3.6% in the Cyclades, before costs, taxes and empty periods.
