Introduction: A Market in Motion

Turkey enters 2025 with one of the most dynamic economies in the region. Despite 33% inflation and high interest rates limiting domestic borrowing, the country posted 4.8% GDP growth in Q2, driven by construction, industry, and services.
In this volatile environment, one sector has consistently proven to be the ultimate safe haven: real estate investment in Turkey.
 

Economic Insights: Inflation and Opportunity

For Turkish households, property is more than a place to live – it is a hedge against inflation and currency depreciation. With mortgage access restricted due to high interest rates, many locals rely on cash transactions, keeping housing demand strong.
For international investors, the opportunity is even greater: the weak Turkish lira means that prime property in Istanbul, Bodrum, and Antalya is still significantly more affordable in dollar or euro terms compared to Paris, Dubai, or Marbella.
 

Real Estate as a Safe Haven

History shows that in times of economic uncertainty, Bosphorus properties and coastal real estate in Turkey not only hold value but appreciate.

• Rental yields in Istanbul’s prime districts average 5–7% annually.
• Luxury villas in Bodrum and Antalya continue to attract global high-net-worth individuals who seek both lifestyle and long-term capital appreciation.
   

Case Study: The Beyaz Köşk Mansion

One of the most symbolic highlights of Turkey’s property market in 2025 is the Beyaz Köşk (White Mansion) in Bebek, Istanbul.

• Location: Direct Bosphorus frontage, Bebek – Beşiktaş
• Size: 695 sqm enclosed + 208 sqm terrace
• Starting Price: 810 million TL (+ VAT) at a TMSF public auction
• Heritage Status: Second-degree cultural heritage asset

This rare offering demonstrates the prestige and scarcity of Bosphorus mansions. While only a select few can afford such iconic estates, their presence underscores Turkey’s unique combination of heritage, lifestyle, and investment opportunity.
 

Why Foreign Investors Benefit Now

• Currency Advantage: Dollar- and euro-based buyers can secure prime assets at a fraction of European prices.
• Citizenship by Investment: Real estate purchases starting from $400,000 qualify for Turkish citizenship, adding significant value.
• Market Momentum: With locals hedging against inflation and government targets to reduce inflation to single digits by 2027, early investors can lock in before prices stabilize higher.
