Investment Character
For the last 20 years in Chania the demand for studios is steadily increased. The presence of the Technical University of Crete (Kounoupidiana, Akrotiri) and the Hellenic Mediterranean University (Halepa) as well, have contributed a lot to this. These are two large institutions that are constantly expanding and steadily increasing the demand for student housing. Especially in Chania the demand is consistently higher than the supply. This is proved by the fact that the city of Chania has one of the highest - nationwide - rents per sqm in student houses (average 8.5 € / sqm for unfurnished).
The short-term lease through AIR BNB is also an option that in recent years "flourishes" in Chania. The reason is that through the short-term lease, a significantly higher income is achieved (it can even reach twice as much depending on the characteristics of the property and its management) than what the long-term lease provides. This is also evidenced by the fact that more and more urban property owners prefer this model over long-term urban leasing.
The apartments are currently rented to students and provide a rather satisfactory rate of return in excess of 4.5%.
