Türkiye’s latest housing data shows a market moving in two directions at once. According to TURKSTAT, 129,979 homes were sold in June 2026—15.8% more than in June 2025. Sales to foreign buyers also rose 20.1% year on year to 2,015 homes.
The wider six-month picture is more cautious. From January to June, 9,083 homes were sold to foreign buyers, down 9.2% from the same period a year earlier. In other words, one stronger month does not automatically signal a full recovery in international demand.
What should buyers take from this?
First, national headlines should never replace local research. Istanbul and Antalya were Türkiye’s leading provinces for foreign-buyer home sales in the full-year 2025 data, but every district, project and property has its own pricing, liquidity and legal profile.
Second, a quieter cross-border market can create comparison opportunities—but it does not guarantee a bargain. Buyers should compare verified asking prices, title status, building condition, ongoing costs and realistic rental assumptions before making a decision.
Finally, work with current information. Availability, foreign ownership eligibility and transaction requirements can change, so every shortlisted property should be checked again before any payment or commitment.
SmartKeyTurkey’s approach
SmartKeyTurkey is an intermediary and advisory platform; it does not own the listed properties. Our goal is to help buyers request verified details, compare options and identify questions that require an independent legal or technical professional.
