What surveys show.
Surveys indicate that people seek bright and airy homes, in quiet areas, with easy access to Public Transportation or parking spaces. At the same time, additional features such as storage, renovation, views, or outdoor space are given special importance. This means that small apartments meeting these needs are becoming the hottest options on the market, as buyers and renters seek flexibility and affordability without compromises.
Why small apartments stand out;
Affordability is the main reason small apartments stand out. In a market where rents increase by 7–10% annually, small spaces offer the best cost-to-yield ratio. Additionally, managing such properties is easier. Maintenance costs are lower, renovations are completed faster, and wear and tear are limited. Moreover, they are attractive options for investors looking to capitalize on short-term rentals or long-term rentals, ensuring steady income with lower risk.
For tenants, small apartments mean greater bargaining power and savings, while for buyers who will live in the property themselves, the small size does not compromise quality of life, provided there is proper layout and natural light. Investors find small apartments to be the most effective solution, as they fill quickly and offer higher yield per investment, especially in areas with high demand.
Trend 2025
The trend for 2025 indicates that small apartments outside the city center will become the new hotspots for budget-conscious buyers, while areas such as Peristeri, Ilisia, and Nea Ionia are experiencing increasing demand. The small size, combined with a good location and proper features, can offer high returns, reduced expenses, and investment opportunities that larger apartments may not provide.
