One-third of foreign property sales in Türkiye go to Gulf buyers
Following the outbreak of war in the Gulf region, overseas home purchases by Turkish citizens have declined, while foreign interest in Turkish real estate has increased, according to a study by real estate appraisal company, EVA Gayrimenkul Değerleme.
The report highlights a notable rise in the share of Gulf countries in property purchases by foreign investors in Türkiye.
The study, which examined real estate investments made by foreign investors in Türkiye over the past two years, found that total foreign property acquisitions measured 397,256 square meters in the first six months of 2026, down 8 percent from 431,439 square meters recorded during the same period of 2025.
Despite the decline in total acquired area, the number of transactions increased by 4 percent year-on-year to 10,411 deals.
