The age of a property, along with its energy efficiency rating, are two of the most decisive factors in determining its value.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

How energy efficiency ratings affected average asking prices for residential sales and rentals in 2025, according to Spitogatos research<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Homes with high energy efficiency ratings (A+, A, B+, B) are more expensive across all areas of Attica and Thessaloniki<\/p>\n\n

compared to properties classified in medium (C, D, E)<\/p>\n\n

or low energy categories (F, G).<\/p>\n\n

In Attica, the asking sale prices of homes with high energy efficiency ratings (A+, A, B+, B) are approximately 50% higher than comparable homes with medium energy ratings (C, D, E).<\/p>\n\n

In the same region, properties for sale with high energy ratings are priced at nearly double the value of homes with low energy efficiency ratings (F, G).<\/p>\n\n

In Thessaloniki, significant price differences are recorded in the suburbs, where the average asking sale price of homes with high energy ratings (A+, A, B+, B) is 55% higher compared to homes with medium energy ratings (C, D, E),<\/p>\n\n

and approximately double compared to homes with low energy ratings (F, G).<\/p>\n\n

Within the Municipality of Thessaloniki, the differences in average asking sale prices between homes of high, medium, and low energy classes appear to be more limited.<\/p>\n\n

When examining average asking rental prices in relation to energy efficiency, research showed that rental properties with high energy ratings consistently command higher average asking rents across all areas.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

Further developments in the sector are expected in the coming weeks due to the incorporation of the European Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD \u2013 2024\/1275) into national legislation, which must be completed by May 2026.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

The Directive sets targets for residential buildings to reduce primary energy consumption by 16% by 2030 and by 20\u201322% by 2035, with particular emphasis on renovating the 43% of buildings with the poorest energy performance.<\/p>\n\n

Additionally, the Directive introduces a series of requirements, including the obligation for all new residential and non-residential buildings to achieve zero fossil-fuel emissions \u2014 effective from January 1, 2028 for public buildings and from January 1, 2030 for all other new buildings \u2014 with certain exemptions allowed.<\/p>\n\n

Structure of new energy-saving programs for buildings <\/strong><\/p>\n\n

-Financial and technical support measures are planned to facilitate compliance with the Directive.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

-The \u201cExoikonomo\u201d programs are considered the main mechanism for implementing European energy-efficiency goals in practice.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n

A new \u201cExoikonomo\u201d program is expected to be announced by the end of 2026.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
