  2020 marks an explosive year for the Turkish property market

  A sight to behold

According to data newly released by Eurostat in June, Turkey's GDP grew by 4.5% in the first quarter of 2020, ranking third among 38 European economies! Despite the ongoing global pandemic, Turkey's economy has remained robust! The real estate industry continues to thrive and is one of the key drivers of Turkey's economy!


  With the continued popularity of Turkey's property investment immigration program, Turkey has become a dark horse in the global investment immigration market in 2020! Boosted by the investment citizenship program, the booming demand in Turkey's property market has surged! Numerous indicators suggest that Turkey now presents one of the most promising real estate markets in Europe, showing signs of vigorous development and representing the next opportunity for international investors!

  Data reveals favorable conditions for purchasing property in Turkey

  Visionary investors have started taking action

  During the pandemic, Turkey launched a comprehensive loan program, encouraging many local residents to purchase homes through loans. In a short span of six months, Turkey’s housing loans shattered annual records. According to data from the Banking Regulation and Supervision Agency (BDDK), the total balance of property loans in Turkey reached $33.63 billion in the first half of this year, an increase of $4.69 billion compared to the same period last year!


  At the beginning of June, Ziraat Bank, Vakıf Bank, and Halk Bank introduced mortgage plans with historically low interest rates, with mortgage terms for new homes extending up to 15 years and interest rates as low as 0.64%, along with a grace period of up to 12 months, providing significant convenience for prospective investors in Turkey! This program not only stimulates local enthusiasm for home buying but may also lead to an increase in Turkey’s real estate prices! Currently, with a solid economy and a relatively mature investment environment, along with favorable factors such as government interest rate cuts, it is indeed a good time to enter the Turkish market!

  Numerous advantages of Turkey's investment citizenship program

  Two major added-value attractions significantly increased

  Turkey is currently one of the geographical, demographic, and economic giants in Eurasia among countries offering investment-based citizenship programs, and it is a major player in G20 countries with affordable investment citizenship offerings! The launch of Turkey's investment citizenship program has provided global investors with a prime opportunity for immigration investment and building overseas homes, making it a popular choice for high-net-worth individuals looking for a "second identity"! The highlights of Turkey's investment citizenship program are numerous, including rapid approval processes, visa-free access to many countries, properties that can be sold after three years, a minimum investment of $250,000 for real estate purchases, and the ability for the entire family to apply for Turkish citizenship, along with advantageous access to major European countries like the UK and the USA, making it highly sought after by investors!

  Currently, investors who participate in Turkey's property purchase program not only acquire real estate but also gain additional potential value — Turkey is a candidate country for EU membership; once successful in joining the EU, properties in Turkey will upgrade to being classified as EU real estate! With strong momentum in Turkey's economic growth, now is an excellent time to enter the Turkish real estate market, signifying promising returns in the future! Additionally, after obtaining a Turkish passport, investors can also settle in the UK through the "UK Turkish Businessman Visa" and apply for the "US E-2 Visa" as a stepping stone to the USA, creating multiple advantages!
