Turkish overseas housing investment surpasses foreigners for the first time.

A remarkable statistic emerged in the first 5 months of 2025. The number of real estate properties purchased by Turkish citizens from abroad surpassed the number of homes purchased by foreigners from Turkey for the first time. Rapidly increasing inflation and uncontrolled rising housing prices in recent years have led to fundamental changes in investment preferences.

According to Mehmet Kaya from Ekonomim, while Turkish citizens purchased only 371 overseas homes in 2021, this number increased to 793 in the first five months of 2025. During the same period, the number of homes purchased by foreigners from Turkey fell behind this figure. This development indicates that the balance in Turkey's real estate market is changing.

SOLD FOR 130 MILLION DOLLARS, BUYER IS A TURKISH BILLIONAIRE

A striking detail was included in the latest report prepared on real estate investments. The world's most expensive apartment was purchased by a Turkish billionaire for $130 million. While the identity of the buyer was not disclosed, it was stated that the apartment belonged to an ultra-luxury project scheduled to be completed in 2027.

The first images of the project have also been shared with the public. This development shows that Turkish investors have become active players not only in the domestic market, but also in the global luxury real estate market.
