The International Monetary Fund has raised its forecast for Türkiye's economic growth. According to the updated data, the country’s GDP is expected to grow by 3% in 2025 (instead of 2.7%) and by 3.3% in 2026 (instead of 3.2%). The growth is driven by strong consumer demand, favorable global market conditions, a weakening US dollar, and improved financial climates in key economies.
This macroeconomic stability creates a favorable environment for real estate investments, especially in tourist and metropolitan regions. It’s an important signal for investors: Türkiye remains a country with positive momentum despite global economic fluctuations.
Tourism has also contributed to the country’s economic growth. According to data from Q2 2025 (April–June), tourism revenues reached $16.28 billion — an 8.4% increase compared to the same period last year. The country welcomed 16.4 million tourists (+2%). Most visitors are interested in leisure, culture, and sports (71.1%), though many also visit relatives.
The average nightly expenditure per foreigner reached $110. Spending on food, transportation, and tourist services increased by more than 12% in each category. This directly affects demand for short-term rentals, coastal housing, and supporting infrastructure.
Real estate sales reflect this upward trend: in June 2025, 107,723 properties were sold — a 35.8% increase compared to June 2024.
The decline in the number of Turkish citizens traveling abroad also indicates growing domestic interest in holidaying within the country, putting additional pressure on rental demand in coastal regions.
Türkiye is strengthening its position as one of the most stable and attractive countries for real estate investment during global economic uncertainty — especially compared to high prices in popular European resorts.
Now is the time to buy property by the sea!
In tourist areas of Alanya, resale properties are currently available at significant discounts. This is largely due to the closure of some popular districts for residence permits. Foreigners are leaving and selling their apartments in these closed areas.
