‘ISTANBUL STARTED TO ATTRACT THE ATTENTION OF FOREIGN INVESTORS IN REAL ESTATE’

Nevita Chairman of the Board Faruk Akbal, in his evaluation of the data to AA correspondent, stated that Turkey had a very good year in terms of international real estate investors, and talked about the increase in 11 months.

Expressing that the number of foreigners paid for housing in Turkey has started to increase and the number of western buyers has increased, Akbal emphasized that especially Istanbul attracts the attention of real estate investors, as it does in every other area, and that there is a serious increase in this area.

Talking about the unique advantages and opportunities Turkey has, Akbal said that both Turkey and Nevita will close 2021 with records in house sales to foreigners.

Faruk Akbal stated that foreigners no longer feel comfortable in these countries due to the increasing nationalist movements and increasing Islamophobia in the West, and said, “In this respect, Turkey has a great opportunity. Turkey is a country that has embraced people of different religions, languages and nationalities throughout its history. The value of this is also understood much better these days. In this changing world, Turkey can be a real center of attraction for foreigners.’
