Greece moves to unlock dormant inheritances to ease housing crunch

Greek authorities are taking steps to return tens of thousands of homes stuck in inheritance limbo—disclaimed or dormant estates—to the real estate market as a supply-side response to the housing crisis in major urban centers. The measure targets properties tied up in legal or administrative delays, aiming to increase available housing stock. Uncertainty remains over implementation speed and legal hurdles, but the policy signals a shift toward addressing housing affordability through supply activation.
