Seasonality in the real estate market in Turkey
Potential property buyers often wonder what time of year it is better to buy property in Turkey and do prices change depending on the season?
Seasonality is a concept inherent in many industries, and, in particular, in trade. As for the real estate market in Turkey, the order of prices for apartments and houses near the sea, as well as in big cities, does not change throughout the year. Nevertheless, in different seasons, the variety of objects presented may increase or decrease.
Spring, like autumn in Turkey, is beautiful and ideal for arriving on a study tour and choosing an apartment. Just at this time, sellers begin to put up their properties for sale, and getting to Turkish resorts becomes much easier and cheaper in April or October.
At the height of the beach season - from May to October, the owners rent out their homes to vacationers in order to earn money and prefer to relax themselves. Therefore, at this time it may be more difficult to arrange a viewing of an object from the secondary market. If you want to pick up an apartment from a developer, the high season is not an obstacle for organizing views.
Please note that it is hot in Turkish resorts in summer, so if you do not tolerate the heat well, we recommend that you wait until the temperature drops and choose more suitable weather for your sightseeing trip.
According to statistics, the most popular season for buying real estate in Turkey is spring and summer. However, professionals and savvy shoppers know that autumn and winter have their undeniable advantages for viewing and finalizing a deal.
Of course, any living space in sunny warm summer weather looks much more attractive than on a cool cloudy day. But if you are interested in when is the best time to buy real estate in Turkey, we advise you to do it in the winter, since it is at this time that you can consider absolutely all the disadvantages that you would simply not pay attention to in the summer.
Benefits of buying a home in late autumn and winter:
• The climate of the resort coast of Turkey during the winter months is characterized by high humidity. Therefore, if the waterproofing in the house is done incorrectly, the walls of the apartments on the first floors can become moldy and the floor gets heated during prolonged rains. When, no matter how in winter, you can see it and make the right choice.
• As you know, in Turkish resorts, most houses do not have centralized heating. The cold season is rather short, so air conditioners are enough to heat the premises. It is easiest to assess the operation of the air conditioning system, the comfort of living in such conditions, and financial costs during the period of active use.
• The choice of housing in Turkey in winter will allow you to objectively evaluate the flooring. Agree, looking at objects in the summer, we do not pay any attention to the floor, whether it is cold or warm. In winter, the presence of a warm floor, the type and quality of the coating will be of paramount importance.
• Literally all apartments by the sea in Turkey have large balconies or terraces. And if in the summer the balcony is perceived by us, simply as an ideal place to relax and enjoy the beautiful views, then in the winter it can be a good help for heating the premises. The thing is that it gets cooler in the apartment overnight. If the terrace faces the sunny side, it quickly warms up and by opening the windows you can not only ventilate, but also warm up the rooms, creating a comfortable microclimate.
• All modern apartments are being built within residential complexes with their own adjoining territory and internal infrastructure. Infrastructure facilities are maintained by a specialized company. During the beach season, naturally, the work is always very active, but in the winter you will be able to assess the real state of affairs and the quality of service.
