What is the average apartment price in Istanbul in dollars?
No doubt that every area of Istanbul has its own characteristics, in terms of property types, features, services, and transportation, in addition to its location on the Asian part of the city or the European part, and where it is specifically located.
When searching for a new property in Istanbul, the price differences get clear, which is what we try to illustrate in the following lines:
What are the most important elements of determining the apartment price in Istanbul?
In terms of location and views:
- Distance and proximity to City center.
- How much the property is near or far from the main transports, such as the airport, metro lines, Metrobus, or the important streets and roads.
- Proximity and distance from tourist placessuch as lakes, public parks, and archaeological sites of famous mosques, palaces, ancient castles, museums, and other entertainment places.
- The location of the property near the important major projects, which affects the importance of the location and increases the prices of its properties, such as the Istanbul Canal, Istanbul Airport, and the Commercial malls of Istanbul. As these real estates witnessed a clear rise in their prices.
- Attractive views, like when the property is located in a coastal area and has a sea view.

In terms of property specifications:
- The ageof the building or real estate, where determining the real estate price depends mainly on its construction life, and of course, the new real estates are more expensive than the old ones.
- Specifications and finishes of the property, where prices of the low-serviced properties or the ones with poor finishes are not equal to their high-quality counterparts.
- The property's location in the building, the residential complexes, for example, have many facilities like swimming pools, clubs, restaurants, and central heating services, while the property that is located in a normal building has none of these services.
- The historic value of the building: Istanbul’s ancient real estate or homes and palaces that have historical value and offered for sale in this authentic city; have exceptional values that cannot be measured as usual. The prices of some of these palaces can be very high, creating a very large profit opportunity for investors.


How to calculate the average real estate price in Istanbul?
Calculating the average price of an apartment in Istanbul or a real estate in any area, as is the case in calculating the average price of any commodity, is based on studying the mathematical arithmetic average, through which it is possible to extrapolate the average limit of the popular prices in the market.
It is known that the arithmetic mean is defined as being equal to the sum of the numerical values of each and every observation divided by the total number of observations.
According to the latest statistics in 2020: The price of a square meter of apartments in Istanbul ranges between $347 and $781 in the areas where we inquired about the most recent prices, regardless of the condition of the property whether it is new or old. This number can rise up to $1,200 in some modern areas and to doubles of that number in the most important areas of the city, also, the value of each property varies according to the location and specifications as well as the aforementioned elements.
