Home sales to foreign buyers rise in June: what the data says
Monthly foreign-buyer sales increased, while the first-half picture calls for a balanced reading.
2,015 foreign-buyer sales20.1% annual increase9,083 first-half sales
Sales to foreign buyers reached 2,015 homes in June 2026, up 20.1% year on year and equal to 1.6% of total Turkish home sales.
Despite the monthly improvement, first-half foreign sales declined 9.2% to 9,083. A sound decision should therefore rely on longer-term direction and asset quality, not a single month.
Kocaeli offers a distinct proposition through proximity to Istanbul, coastal and nature-led districts, and larger living spaces in selected developments. The buyer should first define whether the goal is living, rental income or preserving value.
