What is the primary reason for the slower-than-anticipated uptake of the "My Home II" program in Greece?

The primary reason for the slow uptake is the difficulty applicants face in finding suitable properties. While 31,000 applicants pre-qualified, only 9,540 have secured loans, indicating a significant shortfall. Many pre-qualified individuals lack suitable properties, leading to a slowdown in new applications after initial high demand.
