The real estate sector, which is one of the most important elements of the economy all over the world, continues to increase its importance with the increase in human travel in the globalizing world. The real estate sector affects not only the construction sector but also many sub-sectors and makes a serious contribution to the national economy and employment. It also plays a major role in the development of the economy of countries with its contribution to employment and economy. In addition, real estate sales to foreigners in countries contribute to the national income of the country, and foreign currency inflows are provided to the country.

The construction sector, which started to develop in Turkey in the 1950s, has come a long way in a short time and has become a worldwide leader. Today, Turkish construction companies are preferred in real estate and construction investments in many countries of the world. Turkish construction companies, which provide rapid development and build quality structures, continue to operate all over the world. Along with the Turkish construction sector that developed in a short time, the real estate sector in Turkey has also developed rapidly. Real estate for sale in Turkey, which has luxury and quality real estate, attracts great attention from foreign investors. Government policies and incentives have also had a great impact on the development of the construction sector in Turkey.

Despite the development of the construction sector in Turkey, the real estate sector followed a stagnant course until 2004. Especially foreign investors cannot easily buy real estate in Turkey due to the principle of reciprocity. With the reciprocity law enacted by the Turkish Government in 2012, the obstacles to the sale of real estate to foreigners were removed. Turkish real estate, which started to attract the attention of foreign investors with this law, became the center of attention in a short time. In addition, the VAT exemption incentive for foreigners, the lowering of the lower limit of citizenship, and the decrease in real estate prices to reasonable prices for foreigners due to the increase in the exchange rate contributed significantly to the rapid increase in real estate sales.

The Turkish construction industry, which has a very important place all over the world, continues to make a name for itself with its quality and luxury structures. A significant portion of real estate investors in the world prefer quality and modern projects in Turkey for their investments. Real estate in Turkey always gains in value and provides great gains to its investors. For this reason, foreign investors invest in Turkish real estate. Despite the Covid-19 pandemic, the real estate sector in Turkey gained value in 2020, and construction investments continued.

It's time to buy real estate in Turkey for foreign investors

The Turkish economy, which is dependent on the political infrastructure, displays a risk-sensitive attitude. The foreign policy attitudes of the Turkish Government, the increasing economic problems with the epidemic, the uncertainty in the markets, and the tourism activities that have come to a standstill have caused the Turkish Lira to be negatively affected.
