GLOSSARY / PROPERTY DATA

MAMA: Greece's recorded property transfer evidence.

MAMA is a public source of reported real-estate transfer information. It can help describe what has been recorded in an area, but a registry record does not by itself establish the current value of one particular home.

01 / DEFINITION

What is recorded?

MAMA provides fields associated with property-right transfers, including contract dates, property classifications, areas, transferred interests and reported consideration. Screening the rows is essential before calculating a residential €/m² figure.

02 / INTERPRETING N

One row is not always one home sold.

Some filings concern partial rights or other property interests. Counting every row as a complete apartment transaction overstates the evidence.

  • Identify the ownership interest and share.
  • Separate apartments from land and commercial records.
  • Check usable area and incomplete or unfinished-building flags.
  • Explain the last complete period in each analysis.
03 / STATISTICAL USE

What can a cleaned sample show?

For a specified geographic area and period, a screened sample can support a count of eligible rights records and descriptive statistics such as a median or an interquartile range.

A median is a feature of the observations included. It is not the price an independently inspected property would necessarily command.

04 / LIMITS

Why local density matters.

Smaller towns and island markets can have sparse samples. Moreover, municipal administrative units may not match the neighbourhood a buyer has in mind. Sample composition may change between years.

05 / OUR REPORTS

One input within a wider decision.

We present screened transfer-right findings separately from listing asking prices, bank valuation indices and objective tax values. We do not call the transfer median an official valuation.

Our currently processed eight-market sample covers January 2024 through July 2026: 31 months, not 36.
