Straddling two continents across the Bosphorus Strait, with its skyline studded with minarets and modern towers, Istanbul is World-famous for its rich history.
Considered truly a global city, Istanbul is the largest city in Turkey and forms its business, financial, and creative capital.
For the best part of two decades, Istanbul has been the success story of Turkish property. International buyers, increasingly from the Middle East, flooded into the vibrant ‘gateway to the west’, lured by a new crop of luxury homes, a boom in prices—and stunning waterfront views.
The Turkey Citizenship by Investment Program launched in 2017, has proven to be an attractive and popular choice among global investors, thanks to its low entry points of just $250,000. As a result, property price growth has averaged 23.6% per year since 2010. With no signs of slowing down, 2020 marked the highest level of house sales ever recorded despite the pandemic sparked standstill in April and May.
