The cost of housing

All available data shows that real estate prices, mainly in Greece’s urban centers, are rising fast.

The problem is not just here in this country, but the cost of housing in relation to income is much worse in Greece than in the rest of Europe.

For obvious social reasons, the government has to come up with measures to tame prices that have been tried and worked elsewhere – such as banning short-term rentals and investors from certain areas in the cities.
