STAMA Reveals 500,000 Unused Homes Contributing to Greece’s Housing Pressure

STAMA, a real estate market analytics firm in Greece, has identified a significant factor behind the country's housing pressure: the existence of over 500,000 unused homes. The firm argues that the role of short-term rentals in this issue is more limited than often perceived.

The housing pressure in Greece has been a growing concern, affecting both residents and the tourism industry. According to STAMA, the sheer number of unused properties plays a crucial role in the current housing crisis, rather than short-term rentals, which are often blamed for driving up housing costs and reducing available accommodation.

This revelation suggests that addressing the issue of unused homes could be a key step in alleviating the housing pressure. STAMA's findings highlight the need for policy changes and incentives to encourage the use of these vacant properties.
