Is real estate investment in Turkey still attractive in 2023?

Is real estate investment in Turkey still luring in 2023compared to before?

Turkey, with its strong ground on which various types of investments are built, is a global center of attraction for foreign investors and businessmen, especially with the many investment opportunities it provides in various sectors, real estate, industrial, commercial, agricultural, and other available investment fields.

Given what the previous years witnessed of great prosperity and tremendous development at the level of the real estate sectors, we can call those years the golden stage in the world of Turkish real estate, especially since real estate prices have achieved an unprecedented rise, and the number of properties sold broke records, and high rates were recorded In the buying and selling of real estate by foreign investors.

There is no doubt that the period that witnessed prosperity and development in the real estate aspect was not in vain, but was through prior planning by the Turkish government, which enacted laws that encourage businessmen to start the first step of real estate investment in Turkey and amended the executive regulations related to obtaining Turkish citizenship.

According to the official statistics of apartment sales issued by the Turkish Statistical Institute, the rate of foreigners buying apartments in Turkey has been on the rise since 2015.

This rise is confirmed by data indicating an increase in the number of apartments sold from 22,428 properties in 2017 to 40,044 properties in 2018, while the number of apartments sold to foreigners reached 67,322 properties during 2019, which is the highest number recorded in the past ten years in terms of real estate sales to foreigners.

This high rate of property purchase by foreigners in Turkey is due to amendments to Turkish citizenship laws, which have encouraged many businessmen to invest in Turkey, particularly with regard to the reduction of the value of property eligible for Turkish citizenship from $1million to $250,000, and the reduction of the value of the bank deposit guaranteeing Turkish citizenship for foreigners from $3 million to $500,000.

In light of the aforementioned information, it can be said that real estate investment still retains many of its advantages that encourage foreign investments, and includes many incentives that businessmen desire to establish all types of real estate investment in Turkey.

Has the fluctuation in the price of the lira affected real estate investment in Turkey?

After the recent fluctuations in the exchange rate of the Turkish lira, and its sharp decline against foreign currencies, the questions for investors wishing to buy a property in Turkey are: Is buying a property at this time a successful investment, or is it a risk? Have the fluctuations of the Turkish lira affected real estate investments in Turkey? What is the feasibility of real estate investment in Turkey?

To answer these questions, it can be said: The risk of loss is always present in all investments, no matter how different they may be, but it is the smart investor who can determine the success factors in his or her project and can take chances on the form that guarantees his or her interests.

Everyone knows about the fluctuations in the Turkish lira in recent months, and the subsequent rise in real estate prices in Turkey and changes in the real estate market, and the increase in the prices of raw materials needed for construction and housing projects.

Therefore, the fluctuations of the Turkish lira, especially the rise of the dollar against the Turkish lira, constituted an important factor that foreign investors benefit from in the first place. The amount that the foreign investor was monitoring to buy a property in extreme areas of Istanbul, qualifies him to buy a property in one of the central areas of the city.

The construction companies have also raised the prices of apartments in a way that corresponds to the new exchange rate of the Turkish lira, and this is reflected positively on foreign investors, through which they can achieve a successful investment, and reduce the risk of their investment operations.

In addition, buying a property in Turkey in installments during the fluctuations of the Turkish lira is one of the positive points that favor foreign investors as well, because the continued decline of the Turkish lira against the dollar automatically reduces the value of the installments over time.

It is worth noting that the number of those who obtained Turkish citizenship by purchasing a property by Imtilak Real Estate Group in Turkey is approximately 1000 investors until the moment of writing this article, and it has great experience in the Turkish real estate market and is always working to provide free consultations and the necessary advice that protects the investor from the possibility of falling into a loss during his real estate investment.
