Interest in real estate in Turkey continues to grow, and 2025 is already showing active dynamics, especially from local buyers. In this article, we will analyze key trends, statistics for the first quarter, as well as give practical advice to those who plan to buy or sell real estate in Turkey.
📊 Real estate sales in Turkey: statistics for the first quarter of 2025
Since the beginning of the year, the Turkish domestic market has seen an increase in transactions compared to 2023 and 2024. Turkish citizens are increasingly considering buying real estate as a reliable way to keep their savings. Against the background of inflation and instability in the crypto market, housing is the most understandable and safest asset.
👉 In our company's practice, we also note this trend: more and more transactions are carried out under the “Turkish buyer — foreign seller” scheme.
According to the Turkish Statistics Institute (TÜİK), home sales increased by 20.1% between January and March 2025.
Home sales between January and March 2025 amounted to 335,786 properties, which is 20.1% more than in the same period last year.
🔑 Trend No. 1: Intensification of domestic demand
Locals, especially from Istanbul, Ankara and other major cities, are actively investing in real estate in Alanya and Antalya — resort regions with developed infrastructure.
🔹 Advice for customers: Pay attention to properties on the secondary market — they are appearing right now lucrative offers from foreign investorswho bought real estate before peak prices and are now putting it up for sale.
🔑 Trend No. 2: Long-term installments for ready-made housing
A practice that is not standard for Turkey — installments for ready-made apartments — is becoming more common. Construction companies, not wanting to lower prices due to costs, offer buyers interest-free payment schemes for up to 3 years.
✅ Benefit: This is an alternative to mortgages — without bank fees and complicated bureaucracy.
👉 At Ataberk Estate, we also implemented a similar promotion for one of the ready-made projects — with installments of up to 36 months.
Liquid/profitable apartments at very affordable prices and on favorable terms directly from the developer — without overpayments!
🔑 Trend No. 3: The secondary market is in the TOP of sales
Secondary real estate in Turkey is now in high demand. This is especially noticeable in Alanya, where most of the properties on the secondary market are from foreign owners.
The advantages of secondary housing:
The objects have already been completed, the layout and the view from the windows are clear
Prices may be lower than those of the developer
There are offers that are suitable for getting RESIDENCE PERMIT (if the property has been owned for more than 5 years and has the required cadastral value)
🔑 Trend #4: Rising interest in renting
🔸 The short-term rental market is gaining momentum. Tourists prefer to rent apartments, and hotel prices in Turkey are rising.
📌 Almost all new residential complexes now officially allow short-term rentals — this fits into the house's charter.
👉 At Ataberk Estate, we have prepared a separate review: “Complexes in Turkey suitable for rent” — don't miss it!
🏠 Tips for property buyers in Turkey:
Do you want to buy profitably? Look for offers from owners or investors, especially on the secondary market.
Are you considering new buildings? Now is the time — developers offer installments and sell at cost, but there are fewer and fewer such offers.
Pay attention to the statistics: In 2023, about 2,600 building permits were issued in Alanya, and 30% less in 2024. A further decline is expected in 2025. That is, the number of new facilities is decreasing.
Land prices are rising, which is one of the main factors in increasing the cost of housing. Now developers are working with almost no profit — this is a window of opportunity for purchase.
💼 Tips for property sellers in Turkey:
Assess the market value of your apartment. Compare urgent and regular sales prices.
Work with trusted agencies. You should not contact all companies at once — a reliable partner with a wide network will give the best results.
Consider selling through a developerthat you bought from.
Don't be afraid of mortgage deals — The domestic market is active, and Turkish buyers are increasingly taking out loans. The main thing is reliable transaction support.
