‘’Low interest rates increased the demand in housings located in Anatolia.’’

Gokhan Tas, the regional president of Coldwell Banker Turkey said:

‘’Only 1 district of Istanbul was ranked in the top 10 most house selling districts in the 8-month period list and 3 districts of Istanbul were ranked in the top 20 list. On the other hand, 7 districts of Ankara were ranked in the top 20 list.

In fact, when we look at the top 20 list, we can see that the low interest campaign captured the attention of Anatolian cities and the demand of cities that are slightly more equal in income distribution was more. Currently, the increase in housing loan interest rates will slow down the housing sales somewhat, but as it is understood from the demands of the districts; we can predict that housing sales will approach 1.5 million in total this year. “

“Real estate is no longer a dead capital.”

Kurtulus Altun, the CEO of Real Estate Exchange Inc. (GABORAS) stated that the low interest rates encouraged the increase in the housing sales and said:

‘’When we look at the rates, we see that Istanbul, Ankara and Izmir stand out in terms of both the number of house sales and the increase in the sale percentage. People do not give up on metropolitan cities as an investment tool; but now they go to places where they can be in touch with nature to live. In this sense, the pandemic has enabled real estates to be recovered from being dead capital and used as an investment tool. “

‘’We focused on housing sales in Anatolian districts.’’

Aydin Ozkan, the deputy general manager of FuzulEv said:

‘’ There were serious housing sales in districts outside Istanbul in 8-month period, we increased the number of our branches in these cities. We focused on the Anatoli regions with the high demand.

As a matter of fact, the demand to buy a house without interest has increased significantly in Anatolia. Loans were used in only 25 percent of 1 million 350 thousand houses sold last year. In the interest-free financing system, financing can be provided for the entire housing price. This captures the attention. Especially Intense interest in housing purchases in recent years as an alternative instrument system of interest-free financing received from the total housing sales share of almost 15 percent in Turkey. Interest-free financing system, which attracts great attention as an alternative instrument especially in housing purchases approached 15 percent share in total housing sales in recent years.’’
