Why this topic matters for foreign buyers
Istanbul is not one market; it is many micro-markets that differ in liquidity, rental demand and management quality. Serious decisions are local: district, complex, floor, even unit orientation.
Before comparing prices, write one measurable goal: cash flow, family living, exit within two years, or a regulatory pathway. That sentence stops you from chasing a discount that does not serve the goal.
Successful buyers organize evidence: achieved rents, carry costs, realistic exit time and counterparty quality. Emotion can choose lifestyle; numbers should approve the purchase.
