The Market is Shifting — Are You Ready to Adapt?

Tensions in the Middle East affect not only politics, but also real estate.

💡 In coastal Turkey (like Bodrum & Güllük), expats are no longer dominating the market.
Most are now selling, not buying.

Meanwhile, Turkish buyers are still active — but they’re buying to live, not to invest.
They want stability, not speculation.

So what sells today?
✅ Realistic pricing in Turkish Lira
❌ Not overpriced GBP or Euro listings

If you’re asking:
“Should I increase my price?”
Here’s my honest answer:

👉 If you need to sell, match the market — not the dream
👉 Everyone converting TL to foreign currencies is feeling the loss
👉 In this climate, selling smart beats waiting blind

*The Electronic Listing Verification System (EiDS)* , which has been in development for some time, will become mandatory as of January 1. So, what changes can we expect with this new system?

*How Will It Affect the Industry?*

• Transparency and Reliability: All listings will undergo a verification process, eliminating fake and duplicate entries.
• No More Branding Distinctions: The gap between branded and non-branded real estate agencies will close, as verified listings will level the playing field.
• Price Reductions: Artificial price increases will end, leading to more realistic and affordable property prices across all categories.
• Improved Tax Collection: Authorities will be able to monitor and collect taxes more effectively through the system.

*Dynamics of the New Era:*

• Fewer Listings: Approximately 50% of current listings are expected to be removed, increasing competition and visibility for the remaining ones.
• Potential Closures: Real estate agencies that cannot adapt to the new system or lack alternative marketing strategies may face difficulties, even closures.
• Construction Firms’ Hesitation: Many construction companies may avoid publishing listings to bypass digital declaration requirements.


This transformative change aims to create a more organized and reliable real estate market. However, the adaptation process may pose challenges for some players in the industry.

The AK Party plans to introduce an economic omnibus bill that includes a reduction in the title deed fees for real estate transactions once the Grand National Assembly of Turkey (TBMM) opens. The proposed omnibus bill, which is planned to be introduced when the TBMM opens, will include significant regulations.

- In the current system, a total title deed fee of 4% is paid in real estate transactions, with 2% paid by the buyer and 2% by the seller. The fee amount is determined based on the declared value set by municipalities.

However, there are significant differences between the municipality’s declared value and the real value of the property. The omnibus bill aims to include provisions to address this discrepancy.

- According to the proposed regulation under consideration, the title deed fees collected from buyers and sellers will be reduced. The exact amount of the reduction will be determined through impact analyses. Additionally, a system will be established to ensure that the real value of the property is reflected in transactions.

📌📌Could the recent myth we've frequently heard about selling a house without the owner's knowledge actually be true? Yes, your property can indeed be sold using power of attorney documents you may have previously given and forgotten about.

However, there is a very simple way to prevent this.

You can place a "cannot be sold" restriction on your property through the online title deed system (Web Tapu).

In the proposed Omnibus Law, it was expected to include a regulation requiring property transfers to be made based on the actual sale price, and the title deed fee to be charged based on this price. This would involve requiring an appraisal report for all sales or creating benchmark sales prices in the title deed office using appraisal reports, ensuring that sales prices are not below these benchmark prices. However, due to technical reasons, the implementation of this regulation, which closely concerns a large portion of our citizens, has been postponed to a later date.

Property Market Outlook

Various factors contribute to current market conditions. These include a decrease in mortgage sales due to rising interest rates, an increase in the number of investors waiting due to expectations of the Turkish Lira depreciating, and a decrease in sales to foreigners. Taking these factors into account, it can be seen that the market is saturated in real terms, with a low probability of further increases (excluding natural disasters/wars).

Recommendations

Considering current market conditions, the following recommendations are advised:

Buyer's Market: The first half of 2024 is expected to be a buyer's market, and cash will be an important asset.

Strategic Bargaining: Investments in the primary market should focus on sales below cost and the best prices should be achieved through tough bargaining.

Project Selection: It is crucial to be careful in selecting reliable and realistic projects. Good projects that struggle to be completed due to financial reasons will be attractive to major investors. Affordable developed land parcels will also offer various opportunities.

Fixed Prices: Prices in the secondary market may remain fixed for a period of time (sticky prices), and property owners may struggle to accept real losses.

Fast Sales Strategy: When determining the sale price of real estate, consider an annual real loss. Consider implementing a fast sales strategy with a price approximately 20% below valuation.

Discounts and Unsold Products: Discounts should be considered to stimulate demand, as the prevailing rule in the market is that the price of unsold products will decrease.

Conclusion

The exit doors in crowded halls are small. Although it is uncertain what the percentage of real losses will be in the real estate sector in 2024, it is likely to exceed 40% and even 50%. In these challenging market conditions, market participants are advised to take precautions and make strategic moves. While the Turkish real estate market still presents opportunities, careful thinking and flexibility are necessary to deal with uncertainties. For those who demonstrate this attentiveness and flexibility, 2024 will be a year of opportunities.
