In early 2017, the Turkish government started to offer incentives and facilities to foreign investors on its territory by granting Turkish citizenship to those who invest in a property worth $1 million, and in September 2018 issued a decision to reduce the value of the Turkish citizenship donor to $250,000.

These decisions had a significant impact on increasing the demand for foreign investors to invest in real estate in Turkey, as reports indicated that Turkish citizenship has become at the forefront of the priorities and objectives of foreign investors wishing to invest in Turkish real estate.

The previous three years witnessed record numbers in real estate sales to foreigners, culminating in the last record achieved in sales last July, where sales of apartments to foreigners during this month amounted to 4,495 apartments, achieving the best sales number during the month of July during the past years.
