Ferienimmobilien: Rente unter Palmen – Wo in Griechenland der Alterswohnsitz noch erschwinglich ist
Immer mehr Deutsche wollen ihren Ruhestand dauerhaft in Griechenland verbringen. Neben der Sonne locken dort Steuervorteile. Das Handelsblatt nennt Regionen, die noch erschwinglich sind.
A house by the sea, mild winters and plenty of time under southern sunshine: for many Germans, Greece is more than just a holiday destination. A home in the south serves as an initial retreat during vacations and can later become the focal point of a new life stage. Dutch real estate broker Elxis – At Home in Greece reveals the extent of this trend through its figures.
Nearly 30 percent of the foreign clients it assists wish to buy property in Greece with the intention of living there permanently. Among German clients, this figure stands at around one in five, according to Elxis Managing Director Giorgos Gavriilidis, speaking to the Handelsblatt.
The cost of living in Greece is about 20 percent lower than in Germany, according to consumer price databases Numbeo and Living Cost. Furthermore, the Greek government attracts foreign pensioners with tax benefits. Political and economic uncertainty in Germany may also influence the decision to choose Greece, Gavriilidis adds. However, the question remains as to which regions of the country make a purchase worthwhile.
