Housing Prices Reach New Level: Average Home Price Exceeds 4 Million TL
In March 2026, Turkey's housing market reached an important milestone. The average price per square meter rose above 40,000 TL for the first time, reaching 40,380 TL. The price of a 100 square meter house is now over 4 million TL.
Square Meter Prices Rising, Real Prices Falling
According to Central Bank data, housing prices continue to rise monthly and yearly. In February:
- Monthly increase: ~1.8%
- Annual increase: over 26%
- Real (inflation-adjusted) decrease: ~3.9%
In March, the yearly increase exceeded 30%. This shows that nominal growth continues while real prices still fall slightly.
New Level for 100-Square-Meter Homes: 4 Million TL
Across Türkiye, in many regions, the price of a 100-square-meter house exceeds 4 million TL. Rising construction costs and land prices are key factors. Experts say prices are unlikely to fall in the short term.
Widening Gap Between Most and Least Expensive Cities
As of March 2026, price differences between cities became more visible. Prices in big cities and coastal areas are high, while smaller cities and Central Anatolia remain more affordable. This trend affects buyer choices. Demand shifts to more affordable areas, while high-income areas continue to see price growth.
Top Cities by Price per Square Meter
In March 2026, the highest prices per square meter were in Muğla, Istanbul, and Antalya, exceeding 50,000 TL. Çanakkale, İzmir, and Aydın also rank high, while Bartın’s appearance is notable. Ankara, square meter prices at 36,561 TL, remains outside the top 10—making it a more affordable option for home buyers.,
Sales and Mortgage Transactions Are On the Rise
Housing sales show gradual movement. In February, sales rose 5.9% year-on-year to over 124,000. Mortgaged sales grew more than 40%. Experts say slightly lower interest rates contributed to this activity.
Demand for Smaller Homes Rising
1+1 and 2+1 apartments are becoming more popular. Their share of total sales is growing. This trend is driven by budget limits and investors seeking easily rentable homes.
March 2026 Rent Data
The average monthly rent in Turkey reached 26,000 TL. Annual rental yield is 7.25%, and the estimated payback period is about 14 years. These figures provide insight into rental performance and return on investment.
