Market overview

Understanding the Turkey Market

We hold listings and support the full purchase process in this market.

Turkey combines a large domestic housing market with sustained international buyer interest, particularly from the Gulf, the wider Middle East and Europe. Istanbul dominates by volume; the Mediterranean and Aegean coasts serve a distinct lifestyle and holiday-home market.

Foreign nationals can acquire property in Turkey subject to reciprocity rules, military-zone restrictions and area limits. A mandatory valuation report is part of the process for foreign buyers, and title transfer is completed at the land registry.

Turkey operates a citizenship-by-investment route linked to property purchase, with a minimum property value and a holding period set by regulation. Both have been revised more than once, so the current threshold must be confirmed in writing before it forms part of your plan — we will not quote a figure that may have moved.

Can foreigners buy property in Turkey?

Yes, subject to reciprocity rules, restrictions near military zones and limits on total area. Some nationalities face additional conditions, so we confirm your specific eligibility first.

Is a valuation report required?

A valuation report from an authorised firm is required for property purchases by foreign nationals, and it is used in the title transfer process.

Does buying property lead to Turkish citizenship?

Turkey operates a citizenship-by-investment route tied to property purchase, with a minimum value and a mandatory holding period fixed by regulation. Both have changed before, so the current requirements must be verified in writing for your case.
