Insight 3: April 2025 Housing Report: Opportunity for Buyers

As Turkey’s real estate market continues its dynamic course, the latest figures from the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (TCMB) and the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) offer a promising outlook — especially for prospective buyers seeking long-term value.

Nominal Growth Reflects Market Resilience

According to the Housing Price Index (KFE) for April 2025:

Housing prices rose 1.5% month-on-month
Annual nominal growth reached 32.9%

This robust nominal increase reflects continued confidence in Turkey’s residential market — a market still fuelled by domestic demand, urban transformation, and growing international interest in major hubs like Istanbul, Ankara, and Izmir.

Real-Term Index Correction Presents Buying Opportunity

When adjusted for inflation (using TÜİK’s Consumer Price Index), housing prices have actually seen a 3.6% decline in real terms compared to April 2024.

This subtle correction marks a pivotal moment for buyers: while nominal values are on the rise, real prices are more favourable, opening the door for savvy investors and homebuyers to enter the market before the next upward cycle begins.

City Highlights:

Ankara: +41.9% YoY (Nominal)
Istanbul: +34.4%
Izmir: +30.9
%

Ankara stands out with the highest annual increase, while Istanbul remains the most sought-after destination for international buyers — offering a combination of lifestyle, liquidity, and long-term capital growth potential.

Why This Signals a New Window for Buyers

This shift in real prices doesn’t signal weakness — Hence an opportunity. It reflects a transitional period where inflation is temporarily outpacing property appreciation, giving well-informed buyers a chance to purchase prime real estate before prices signal their next trend.

Turkey continues to position itself as a key player in global real estate, offering

citizenship incentives, lifestyle assets well-equipped for premium segments, and adequate rental yields. The current environment favors those ready to move decisively.
