Turkey relied in its study of the future of the real estate market and its growth indicators on several data:

High population

The demographic growth in Turkey is moving towards a remarkable rise, as the country concluded its population in 2018 with 82 million people, which is a number that qualifies to rise more during the coming years and therefore the need for homes will be at the front where small families turn into larger homes and young people seek to own homes for the purpose of marriage and from it increases The number of people wanting to own a property in Turkey.

High urbanization rate

Turkish cities are witnessing a large increase in the number of their residents, or as they are called "urban" residents compared to rural residents, which creates a great desire among the villagers to move to cities and thus the demand and the need for new housing increase in consideration of the choice and direction of public taste in the country.

The rate of urbanization in Turkey compared to other neighboring countries is very large, as during the past twenty years, it has witnessed a significant urban expansion.

The high number of foreigners residing in Turkey

In recent years, Turkey has become a favorite destination for emigration from neighboring and Arab countries due to the facilities it offers to expats on its lands, as in 2019 alone, around 1.1 million people acquired residence, while the number of people who bought a property has increased to 63 thousand investors, i.e. 61 thousand apartments in Turkey was purchased, including about 26 thousand apartments in Istanbul, which clearly pave the way for a brighter real estate future in which the volume of sales increases to exceed the expectations set by much.

Incentives for foreign investors

Turkey is working on achieving a plan for the next phase that extends to 2023, which relies on the rehabilitation of 7.5 million property and the construction of modern service and building facilities in order to reach 18 million property in Turkey through which it meets the increasing demands of foreigners to buy properties in Turkey.

Also, the procedures to reduce the interest rate on real estate loans in Turkey during the last quarter of the year 2019 also contributed to the increase in Turks' interest in buying property in Turkey.

The facilities provided to the Turks were also met by facilities for expatriates and foreigners wishing to purchase properties in Turkey by launching the service of paying the property price via a bank account from outside Turkey, as this contributed to the increase in demand for property ownership in Turkey.

Despite the criticism that accompanied the amendments to the renewal of the tourist residency in Turkey, the procedure paid a lot to buying the property in Istanbul and Turkey in general in order to obtain the real estate residence.
