Greece’s Housing Shortage Creates Opportunities for Residential Investments

Greece’s Housing Shortage Creates Opportunities for Residential Investments, Says Jefferies. 

Athens, September 2025 –

International investment bank Jefferies Group LLC, one of the leading independent global financial services firms, has released a report highlighting Greece’s growing housing supply deficit and the potential it creates for increased mortgage lending and residential real estate investments.

Who is Jefferies 

Founded in 1962 and headquartered in New York, Jefferies is a major global investment bank and financial services company.

It provides investment banking, capital markets, asset management and equity research services to institutional investors and corporations worldwide.

The firm is known for its in-depth sector analysis and market insights, making its real estate outlook closely watched by international investors.

Key Findings of the Report

 Jefferies notes that Greece faces a significant shortage of new housing units, a gap that has widened over the past decade.

This imbalance between supply and demand is expected to:

• Boost demand for mortgage loans, as buyers turn to financing to secure homes.

• Support residential property prices, particularly in high-demand urban centers and tourist-driven markets.

• Create favorable conditions for both domestic and foreign investors seeking long-term capital appreciation and rental yields.

Implications for the Greek Real Estate Market

 The report underlines that the combination of economic growth, the ongoing popularity of the Greek Golden Visa program, and strong tourism-driven demand positions Greece as one of the most attractive residential real estate markets in Europe.

 For investors looking to diversify their portfolio, real estate in Greece—from city apartments to luxury villas—offers both strong yield potential and the added advantage of EU residency through the Golden Visa.
