Turkish overseas property investments hit $2.6 bln in second quarter: Report

Turkish investors’ overseas real estate investments reached $2.6 billion in the second quarter of 2026, exceeding the average level of the past five years by tenfold, according to TEPAV’s Direct Investments Bulletin.

The report said that longer payback periods in the domestic property market and the search for foreign-currency-denominated returns continued to drive Turkish investors toward overseas real estate assets.

Financial and regulatory incentives, including “Golden Visa” schemes in European countries and tax advantages offered in Dubai, also supported demand for overseas property investments, according to the report.

Real estate maintained its dominant position in Türkiye’s outward foreign direct investments during the second quarter, with its share in total investments increasing over the period.
