Investing in real estate is undeniably one of the most
effective ways to preserve the value of capital. It can also help you acquire
passive income and financial independence.
Turkey has come into the spotlight for its desirable
residential properties and vast commercial real estate options. With the rise
of rapid urban planning and mega projects such as the Yavuz Sultan Selim Bridge
and the Eurasia Tunnel, Turkish real estate has caught the eye of foreign
buyers and has seen a sharp rise in sales.
1.4 million residential units were sold in 2021 in the Turkish real estate sector.
Moreover, 206,768 sales of residential units were made to foreign nationals in
Turkey between 2016 and 2021.
