According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TurkStat), 107,723 residential properties were sold in Türkiye in June 2025. This is an increase of 35.8% compared to the same month last year. Sales to foreign buyers also rose — by 8.7% year-over-year.
Investment priorities: Real estate remains attractive
In July, Emlakjet conducted a survey among more than 40,000 users to identify the most popular investment tools. According to the results, 26% of respondents considered investing in the past year, indicating cautious behavior and a balanced approach to financial decisions.
Among those who considered investing, 48% preferred real estate, 35% chose alternative tools such as gold, foreign currency, and cryptocurrency, and 17% opted for deposit accounts. These figures confirm that the real estate market continues to attract interest due to the stability and long-term growth of asset value.
Preferred housing types: demand for spacious apartments
Investor preferences in terms of property type were also studied. Most respondents were interested in family-friendly housing: 35% chose three-bedroom apartments (3+1), 31% — two-bedroom (2+1). One-bedroom apartments (1+1) attracted 12%, and studios (0+1) only 6%. Additionally, 16% opted for villas and summer homes. These results show a steady interest in larger apartments with strong rental potential.
Key criteria for choosing investment properties
Respondents identified the most important factors when selecting a property. Rental income topped the list — named key by 27%. Long-term financial stability came second (24%). Future price appreciation was cited by 22%, and the property’s location was important for 21%. Tax and legal advantages were least significant — only 6% chose them.
Investors prioritize stable income and reliable assets. Rental returns, price growth potential, and location remain the key reasons to invest in real estate.
Seaside real estate for investment
Only 10% of Alanya’s permanent residents are foreigners. Therefore, it's worth betting not only on resale and rentals to foreigners but also on the local market. In Türkiye, it's uncommon to buy small “holiday-style” apartments for permanent living. At the same time, 2+1 and 3+1 units are always in high demand for short-term rentals — such listings are far fewer than 1+1 units, which dominate the residential supply in modern complexes.
Stay Property currently recommends investing in multi-bedroom apartments — some hot deals are offered at the same price level as 1+1s. Discounts are available due to some popular areas closing for residence permits, leading to a wave of sales. But: 1) the situation may change drastically; 2) Alanya is not just about selling to foreigners. In Stay Property’s catalog, 3+1 apartments in Alanya start from €112,500, with many listings including furniture and appliances in areas open for residence permits.
