Turkey Real Estate Market in 2025: Fewer Foreign Buyers, but Growing Investment Interest
The Turkish real estate market enters 2025 with an updated demand structure. According to TÜİK data, total housing sales from January to October 2025 increased by 16.2%, exceeding 1.29 million transactions. However, sales to foreign buyers showed a correction: –11.3%, totaling 17,050 units during the same period.
Despite this decline, foreign demand for real estate in Turkey remains strong. The motivation has shifted: investors are increasingly focused on highly liquid properties, new developments with infrastructure, and seaside apartments with attractive rental yields.

Mersin: Market Adjustment After Rapid Growth
In Mersin, sales to foreigners decreased more significantly:
- –20.1% Jan–Oct 2025 vs previous year

Reasons: rapid price growth in 2022–2023, limited seaside supply, and market normalization.
Interest in early-stage new developments remains.
What’s Really Happening? Demand Shift, Not Decline
Although the number of transactions has decreased, high-frequency search queries continue to grow:
- real estate in Turkey
- buy an apartment in Turkey
- invest in Turkey
- seaside apartments in Turkey
- apartments in Antalya for rent
