Real estate in Turkey

Owning an apartment in Istanbul, Alanya, Antalya, or Mersin, considering real estate prices, is a cherished and quite achievable dream for many foreign citizens. Real estate in Turkey offers its owners numerous advantages. The most important thing is to seek support from an experienced and reliable agency and to choose a home without haste and fuss, in order to see not only the pros but also the cons. What time of year is best to buy an apartment in Turkey? Do prices change depending on the season? We will discuss this in our article.

According to statistics, the most popular seasons for buying real estate in Turkey are spring and summer. However, specialists and experienced buyers know that autumn and winter have their undeniable advantages for viewing properties and closing deals.

When is the best time to buy real estate in Turkey?

The benefits of buying a home in the late fall and winter:

• The climate of the resort coast of Turkey during the winter months is characterized by high humidity. Therefore, if the waterproofing in the house is not done correctly, the walls of the apartments on the ground floor may become covered with mold, and the floor may heat up during prolonged rains. The winter season allows for making the right choice.
• As is known, most houses in Turkish resorts do not have central heating. The cool season is quite short, so air conditioners are sufficient for heating the premises. The simplest way to assess the performance of the air conditioning system, the comfort of living in such conditions, and the financial expenses is during the period of active use.
• Choosing housing in Turkey during the winter allows for an objective assessment of the flooring. When viewing a property in the summer, we don't pay attention to the floor, whether it's cold or warm.

How does the season affect real estate prices in Turkey?

“When are apartments cheaper - in winter or summer?” is the main question for potential buyers of Turkish real estate. The price per square meter does not significantly depend on the season, as the high demand from foreign investors for housing in Turkey remains steady.

Prices are influenced by other, more serious economic factors, such as exchange rates, inflation, mortgage interest rates, and the political situation.

Overall, there are several factors that can indirectly affect the cost of residential real estate when purchasing during the winter season:

• There is greater interest from realtors who want to sell residential properties. In winter, there are fewer buyers, so some sellers are willing to make concessions to close the deal.
• A decrease in competition and demand allows the investor to negotiate a purchase with the seller on more favorable terms. This usually applies to urgent sales.
• Developers and sellers much more frequently organize promotions and seasonal discounts on their properties to stimulate interest and demand from investors.

As you can see, buying an apartment in Turkey is advantageous at any time of the year. Winter is a good time to save your time and money, and it also allows you to get a more complete understanding of the property you like. Professional assistance from specialists at the Turk.Estate website guarantees a successful purchase and comprehensive support at every stage of the buying process.
