Over/undervaluation of residential property prices across EU countries and Greece as of Q3 2025
Most EU countries show positive overvaluation ranges, meaning residential property prices in much of the EU appear elevated compared to fundamentals.
Greece: Affordability vs. Investment Value
European Commission estimate that Greek property valuations are approximately 20% above their fundamental levels as of late 2025.

Residential property prices Greece vs Germany, from 2004 to Q4 2025
Greece’s housing market is cyclical, crisis‑prone, but capable of strong rebounds.
Germany’s market is stable, slow‑moving, and less sensitive to shocks, but currently in a cooling phase.
By 2025, Greece is clearly outperforming Germany in price momentum.

Singapore: “Housing is a human right, not a playground for speculators.”
They made home ownership mandatory through savings schemes and hammered investors with heavy taxes on second and third properties.
The outcome? Real affordability for workers — not just profits for landlords.
Australia: “Let the market decide.”
Then opened the floodgates with super withdrawals, negative gearing, and foreign investment.
The result? Young people locked out, while property becomes a boomer ATM.
One country treats housing as shelter.
The other treats it as a wealth machine.
Guess which one has the housing crisis?
Neoliberal brainrot vs. serious policy.
Singapore wins.

"… we are desperate for housing that is actually affordable for people who are working their asses off and can only make so much money because wages never keep up. What we need is we need a public developer employing public construction companies to actually build out the non-market and nonprofit and supportive and cooperative housing that will solve the problem."
NDP's Avi Lewis on the massive buildout of housing needed to solve our #HousingCrisis:
"That has only ever happened under public ownership. And that's how it happened after the Second World War. And that is what is required to solve the housing emergency."
Legend!
"Homelessness campaigner Martin Leahy has brought the curtain down on his Thursday protest outside Leinster House after 200 weeks.
The Cork musician has sung his song entitled 'Everyone should have a home' at the gates of the national parliament each Thursday lunchtime for the last four years."

I meant to tag @europeanspodcast since I mentioned them in the blog post, and of course I forgot when I posted that after midnight (when you maintain a forked @gohugoio theme and don't blog often, you spend some time rebasing your theme once in a while...)
But if you're a #podcast listener and are interested in #Europe news and cultural discussion, I can vouch that The Europeans really helped with my family's move to #Europe - by coincidence I started listening right when they published their recent "Who Does it Best" miniseries and it started with an episode on the #HousingCrisis - makes us feel a bit better knowing it's not just #Dublin . Such warmth, convivial banter and nice range of topics you don't normally get from other media outlets!
This week's episode is special and does not follow the normal format, so you might want to check their other episodes too
