Greece Sotheby's International Realty reports surge in non‑dom luxury home sales

Greece Sotheby's International Realty said non‑dom buyers—individuals moving tax residency under Article 5A—accounted for 29 % of its luxury home transaction volume in 2025, totalling €58.2 million. By contrast, sales linked to the Golden Visa programme reached €18.9 million. The median non‑dom transaction was €2.95 million, more than double the €1.5 million median for Golden Visa purchases. British buyers made up 53 % of non‑dom sales, a trend the broker tied to the United Kingdom’s abolition of its own non‑dom tax regime in April 2025. The programme requires a flat annual tax of €100,000 plus €20,000 per dependent and a minimum €500,000 investment, and buyers typically acquire primary residences, especially on the Athens Riviera, which handled 88 % of both non‑dom and Golden Visa activity.

In a related listing, the broker is marketing a 6,673‑sq‑ft cliff‑side villa on Corfu’s northeast coast for $10.8 million. Built of local stone and featuring six bedrooms, sea‑view terraces, a home theatre and a private dock, the property is eligible for both Greece’s Golden Visa and non‑dom programmes. The listing highlights the continued demand for high‑end Greek coastal properties among foreign investors.
