According to A Place in the Sun, Turkey is one of the top ten places to buy property and offers something a “little bit more exotic” than other buyer hot spots in the Mediterranean.
At its height in 2019, Turkey attracted around 51 million foreign tourists, ranking as the sixth-most-popular tourist destination in the world.
According to official numbers from the second half of 2020, housing sales to foreigners increased by 4% compared to the same period of 2019. During the pandemic, Turkey’s house sales fell slightly; however, the latest figures show that activity in the real estate sector has gradually lifted.
In June 2021, sales to foreign buyers marked the best January-June period ever, topping the 20,000 threshold for the first time. Sales in the period saw a nearly 44% year-on-year increase.
Who invests in property in Turkey?
Turkey is a large and diverse country with established foreign communities and investment opportunities throughout its cities and along the coast.
Investors tend to fall into two categories; the Lifestyle Investor seeking holiday, buy to let and retirement villas and apartments along the coast, and the City Investor looking for long term buy to let opportunities with maximum returns and capital gain. Oceanwide Properties are specialists in coastal lifestyle properties however, they work with city partners to cater for both.
Coastal Lifestyle Investors
There’s a saying in Turkey that those who visit Turkey once, are sure to return.
This is undoubtedly true and most people who buy property, discovered Turkey for the first time on a holiday and left planning to return.
The resorts along the Aegean and Mediterranean coasts are popular for good reason. Not only is the climate fantastic and the coastal scenery stunning, the wealth of history, cheaper cost of living and warm welcome is certainly alluring, leaving few visitors disappointed. It is no surprise that many favour the cheaper and relaxed lifestyle Turkeys coast offers.
Recent years have seen a boom in property development and, with property prices a fraction of those in the UK and superb resale properties and developments on offer, those looking for affordable holiday homes, retirement properties or buy to let investments are spoilt for choice.

Types of Turkish Property Investment
Turkish properties tend to fall into five categories; newly built/complete, custom land and build, off-plan, resale and buy to let.
New build and complete properties
Recent years have seen a boom in Turkish developments along the coast. Most regions now have a good mix of established developers completing multiple projects each year, and smaller bespoke builders with just a handful of villas and apartments in their portfolios.
