Turkey is an ideal location for people seeking pleasant weather, fine beaches, culture and real hospitality. Following the liberation of the Turkish property market for foreign buyers in 2003, thousands of investors have purchased property in known locations such as Istanbul, Antalya and Bodrum, as well as other cities like Izmir, Ankara and Hatay. With prices in the country much lower than in the EU on average, investors can expect a substantial increase as Turkey’s negotiations for EU membership continues.

The property market in Turkey is just getting started. The government is currently laying down the framework for a healthy property sector. Once the seeds of this planning start to bear fruit, that’s when the real boom will be seen in the Turkey property market. Those who get in on the action now stand to see huge gains when the market is finally ripe.
