Choosing Real Estate in Turkey: Whose Opportunities Are Limited?

Choosing Real Estate in Turkey: Whose Opportunities Are Limited?

Today, real estate in Turkey includes all types of offerings: rentals and purchases, houses, villas, apartments, small cozy bungalows, and huge multi-story mansions.

Finding something that does not exist in Turkey is very difficult. Prices start from 30-35 thousand euros (mainly for apartments) and from 50-60 thousand (for private houses with decent land around). Moreover, even when comparing the conditions around the house, the area, the features of the cities, the presence of a sea coast and the distance to the beach, it is extremely difficult to find something that has no value for vacationers and those planning to live permanently in their new home.

The most exotic option is your own villa, located simultaneously by the sea, practically in the forest, with a view of the mountains, and within a small town. All the infrastructure, plus mountain beauty, sea sunsets, and forest air – it's hard to dream of this anywhere else but Turkey.

Several sales directions are popular simultaneously. The most common city where real estate is purchased is Antalya and actually the beautiful and unique Istanbul. And for those who appreciate a resort atmosphere, houses, apartments, and condos are offered in Alanya, Kemer, and Marmaris. Also popular are the resort of Fethiye and seafront real estate in Bodrum.

Sea vacations and year-round living are ideal ways to use a home. Moreover, even for apartments costing up to 40 thousand euros, the distance to the sea is about 1-1.5 km. This means that owners will have no trouble renting them out to those wishing to relax comfortably.

There are several more reasons to be interested in real estate. Besides the cost of apartments and houses, which is significantly lower than in Moscow, there are several other interesting reasons to buy. Real estate values in this country increase over time. Some real estate agencies cite figures of 20% growth in housing prices.

Furthermore, many restrictions are lifted if you purchase a house or apartment – in particular, upon purchase the owner immediately receives a residence permit for the next five-year period. At the same time, you can dispose of the property at your own discretion – for example, sell it at any time, rent it out long-term, or live in the house or apartment.

The climate also brings significant benefits – there are more than 300 sunny days here, and the swimming season with comfortable sea temperatures is guaranteed from May to the very end of October. Getting to your new home will be closer than a Muscovite's commute from work to their country house – just 3 hours by plane, and you can enjoy the warm climate.
