Turkey is an excellent option for foreign investors. With the increase in demand for properties, property prices in districts in Istanbul like Beylikduzu, Esenyurt, and Bahcesehir are expected to rise because of the ever-increasing demand. Statistics show that Istanbul has seen a massive boom in property demand. 


In 2020, 40,812 apartments were sold to foreigners in Turkey. Istanbul took first place with 19,175 properties, and Antalya took second with 7,735. Ankara took third with 2,746 properties, and finally, Bursa took fourth with 1340 apartments.


Istanbul is the preferred city for the best type of real estate investment within the budget of many investors. The Turkish real estate market is a safe place to profit and save money. So the property market in Turkey is pretty active and strong right now. 


What Are the Economic Predictions for Turkey in the Future?


Property prices in popular areas like Istanbul, Ankara, Izmir, and Mediterranean towns are expected to increase. The currency crisis has come to an end, with everything being balanced out quickly and with growth in the economy impacting property prices positively. 


Since foreigners have started purchasing properties in less populated destinations like Bursa, Canakkale, Kayseri, and Sakarya, this situation causes property prices to rise soon as the property market in these areas keeps growing.


The pandemic affected the whole world, including the real estate sector. However, the Turkish real estate market has not seen a significant decrease in demand. The pandemic has caused a reduction in prices, creating a golden opportunity to own property in Turkey.


Opportunities to Invest in the Turkish Real Estate Market


There have been numerous sales in the real estate market by construction companies and sellers who require liquidity. For example, some sellers hand out their property to a tourism company. Since tourism has been affected because of the pandemic, there have been no travelers to other countries. But with good handling of the pandemic in Turkey, the stores and tourist places are still open and active.
