Türkiye’s real estate market showed significant growth in 2025. Between January and November, nearly 2.9 million real estate transactions were registered nationwide, which is 7.6% more compared to the same period last year. According to data compiled by Anadolu Agency based on information from the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (TKGM), this is the highest January–November figure ever recorded. For comparison, the previous record was set in 2022 with 2.825 million transactions, but in 2025 this result was confidently surpassed.
The growth affected all main segments of the market: residential properties, land plots, agricultural land, office and commercial premises. This indicates consistently high demand across all key areas. The activity that began at the start of the year continued throughout most of 2025 thanks to urban renewal programs, investment interest, and demographic factors.
Monthly dynamics, despite overall growth, showed certain fluctuations. Compared to 2024, higher figures were recorded in January, February, April, May, June, July, August, and September. At the same time, a moderate decline in activity was observed in March, October, and November, which may be related to lending conditions, economic adjustments, and seasonal factors.

Despite an 8.6% year-on-year decline in November, the cumulative result for 11 months was record-breaking and significantly exceeded individual periods of decline. The total transaction volume from January to November amounted to 2,874,237, which became a new historical maximum for this period.
At the same time, land registry offices (tapu) processed more than 18.4 million different operations over the same period. These included:
- sales — about 2.9 million
-
mortgage transactions — more than 1.2 million
-
inheritance registrations — 446,000
-
document corrections — 157,000
-
expropriation procedures — 62,300
-
property partitions — 48,300
-
donations — 34,000
-
property mergers — 27,900
-
property divisions — 26,100
-
other operations — about 13.4 million
Such a scale of administrative activity reflects both the high dynamics of the market and the wide range of legal and registration processes associated with property ownership and use in the country.
Revenues from registration fees also increased significantly. From January to November, they grew by 73.7% and reached 139.17 billion Turkish lira. Of this amount, 133.1 billion lira came directly from sales transactions, highlighting the role of the real estate market as an important source of budget revenues.
The growth in revenues is related to rising property prices, a high number of transactions, and increased involvement of market participants in official procedures. Against the background of ongoing urban renewal programs and the emergence of new development zones, the influence of this sector on the economy is expected to continue in the future.
Time to buy resort property
Meanwhile, in resort regions, restrictions on the issuance of residence permits are affecting the market focused on foreign buyers. It is almost impossible to obtain a tourist ikamet based on a rental agreement, but property owners of any value receive it without significant problems. However, for a residence permit based on property ownership, an official property value of at least 200,000 US dollars is still required.
The possible lifting of residence permit restrictions may lead to a significant increase in apartment prices in a matter of days.
Actual costs are much higher than those shown by TÜİK. Housing construction with subsequent sale at current prices is no longer economically viable. Mustafa Küçüker, Chairman of the Alanya Contractors Association (MÜTBİR), stated: “The inflation rate that we are currently observing exceeds 30%. We recommend that everyone who can afford it invest in real estate now by purchasing homes and land plots.” There are currently not many new projects in Alanya, and prices for off-plan apartments are already higher than for ready units on the secondary market.
Developers are offering installment plans for ready apartments, which previously were available only during the construction period.
