Is Real Estate in Turkey a Good Investment?

Turkey occupies a unique position between Europe, where most of the world's political and economic power is concentrated, and Asia, which has recently become a vital center of economic growth and increased political influence. Throughout its history, the country has served as both a barrier and a bridge between two continents. Turkey's strategic location provides certain leverages for international influence. 

Turkey's active membership in the G20 plays an active role in increasing foreign investments because it shows that Turkey has a developing economy that can trade with economically strong countries.

In addition, Turkey has been a member of the European Customs Union since 1996. This membership allows Turkey to be part of numerous trade agreements between its other parties.

Another reason that makes Turkey a good choice for investors is the exchange rate advantage. The level of the lira is relative to other international currencies means that foreign buyers can invest at a more affordable price than ever before.

The high rate of overseas visitors and foreigners residing in Turkey creates demand in the real estate sector thanks to affordable living and real estate costs. As a result of this high demand, property values are also constantly increasing.

Another thing that proves that the real estate sector is the best option for investment is that the Turkish government offers Turkish citizenship to foreigners who purchase a minimum of 400.000 USD worth of property or invest 500.000 USD in fixed capital.

When all these features of Turkey are considered together, you can be sure that Turkey will not disappoint you and that your property investment will make a profit in a short time.

Turkish Citizenship by Real Estate Investment in Turkey

In 2016, Turkey implemented the citizenship by investment program. Candidates who invest in real estate or bank deposits are given residence, citizenship, and a Turkish passport.

Types of Real Estate Investments in Turkey

Types of real estate investments in Turkey vary according to the type of real estate, the purpose of the investment, and the expected return. Here are some of the options:

• Investing in Apartments: Apartments, which are one of the safest investment types are preferred more than other types of real estate because they provide regular income and are sold more quickly. The return it provides to the investor is obtained in two main ways:

Rent: Since rents in Turkey increase at varying rates every year, many investors buy and rent apartments in Turkey. The rental value of any property in Turkey increases by more than 30% per year.

Resale: This is one of the most common ways of earning income. After the property owners buy an under-construction property, they wait for the construction process to be completed to sell it because selling the apartment after the construction is complete generates a high-profit return. On the other hand, second-hand apartment sales also provide high returns. Real estate reports indicate that apartment prices in Turkey are increasing by up to 100% every year.

• Investing in Villas: If you are considering investing in real estate in Turkey, villas are definitely another of the most promising options. Although villas for sale in Turkey are less demanded than other types of real estate due to their high cost, rising real estate prices and the need for privacy allow villas to turn into profitable investments.

Villas present a wide array of benefits, including a better lifestyle, privacy, freedom of design, high resale value, appreciation value, etc. in addition to the freedom of owning a detached home. They are also a steady source of income. 

• Investing in Commercial Properties: Investing in Turkish real estate is a great way to build wealth. Commercial properties include various categories such as retail, industrial, office, warehouses, shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, buildings, etc. Large investors prefer to invest in commercial real estate in Turkey because of its diversity.

Commercial real estate investments in Turkey are already known to provide some of the highest income streams.  Turkey's commercial real estate has a variety of options for those who want to do business, invest by renting out shops, or even resale and this provides investors with a satisfactory and profitable financial return. While the Central Anatolia region of the country offers you huge technology-related complexes, you can find offices in a skyscraper in cosmopolitan cities like Istanbul or start your dream business with boutique properties in lovely Mediterranean cities.

• Investing in Land: Buying land in Turkey is a way to get rich without risk. It can help you safely build wealth and ensure financial stability. 

Land investments in Turkey fall into three main categories: Commercial and Residential - Crop and Livestock - Farm Land Investment. Land investments can produce high returns, passive income, and large profit margins. You can sell your land, use it to grow crops, use it to build a villa or commercial property or rent it.

Best Places to Invest in Real Estate in Turkey

In recent years, more and more foreigners prefer to invest in Turkish real estate, and accordingly, the number of investors is increasing. Although the highest incomes for foreign investments in Turkey are provided in Antalya, Belek, Alanya, Bodrum, Kemer, Fethiye, Side, and Istanbul, you should consider a few points when deciding which region of Turkey to invest in.

While your budget plays an important role, the economic situation of the city you want to buy a property, living conditions, and the benefits of investing in that area is also very important. Let's look at the most preferred cities together:

• Belek: Located 43 km from Antalya center, Belek is a world-famous golf destination with its professional golf courses.

• Fethiye: Fethiye, which is connected to the province of Muğla in the Aegean region of Turkey, is one of Turkey's most well-known tourism centers.
