Greece

Since the crisis began in 2010, Greece's real estate has been highly affected as it was stated that it's easier to sell a property than to maintain. It then sparked interest on investors overseas as their real estate prices decreased by more than 50%.

The market continued to decrease causing a crisis which forced some land owners to sell their properties.
