Villas by the sea in Turkey

Every year visitors coming to Turkey fall in love with our beautiful culture, friendliness of the people and outstanding value real estate. According to the Institute of Statistics, over 1,492,000 real estate properties were purchased in 2021. Of that figure, around 4% were sold to foreign buyers. Among them were inexpensive apartments, townhouses and luxurious villas on the coast. 

If you are interested in buying a villa on the coast or in one of the large cities, Summer Homes will help you at all stages of your search; during the buying process and support you with after-sales care.  

Why Buy A Villa By the Coast:

Factors may include:

• Favourable climate, suitable for permanent residence and recreation. Hot summers and mild, rainy winters; during the coldest time, the temperature does not fall below + 10 ° С. Thanks to this, there is no need to install central heating. But all new houses and villas have a floor heating system, and in some cases, there is an open fireplace.  
• In the resort regions of the country, there is a well-developed infrastructure and social facilities: Good quality roads, a large number of shops and markets, bazaars with home products and  Medical and educational institutions  
• Local people in Turkey and the authorities have a friendly and helpful attitude towards foreign investors. This is not only business-orientated politeness but sincere cordiality. The Turks understand that buying real estate is beneficial to both sides.  
• Investment benefits. According to a simplified scheme, foreign investors who have invested in real estate in Turkey can obtain a residence permit and citizenship. This year the government set a minimum purchase price for investing in property for the purpose of citizenship. It was set at $400,000. 

The advantages of acquiring your own villa on the coast include the following factors:

• annual savings on vacation;
• receiving passive income from renting a house during the absence of the owner.

The opportunity to relax in your own house on the coast, furnished according to your taste, is much more attractive than relaxing even in a 5-star hotel. The cost of a luxury hotel is always high, and hotel rules bind vacationers. Owning a villa and having a residence permit in Turkey, you can not only spend your holidays with the whole family with minimal expenses but also invite friends and celebrate some joyful events.  

Experience demonstrates that a small villa can pay off by renting out due to the high flow of tourists. For an expensive, more luxurious villa, the initial price may be higher, but with each year the demand for villas is going up, the income from rent will fully cover the costs of maintenance and tax payments.  

Another critical point is the high fluidity of real estate in Turkey. Villas prices are rising every year; the cost of a villa by the sea, bought five years ago, has grown by at least half and almost doubled in the middle price segment. When selling, you can get back your investment and make a profit.  

Owning a real estate in a foreign country is a prestige.

What kind of housing can be purchased

The Turkish real estate market provides all housing options for permanent residence and recreation:

• small villas in the city;
• urban mansions in a dense metropolitan area;
• suburban town houses and houses in villages;
• summer bungalows on the coast;
• Elite villas on the coastline in resort areas.

Regardless of the size of a building, villas are nearly always surrounded by a small plot of land or garden, which also becomes the buyer's property included in the price. 

What Are Villas Like in Turkey?

A Villa is a house with beautiful architecture, many rooms, master and guest rooms, several bathrooms, a spacious kitchen and a dining room. Area – anywhere from 220 to 2500 sq.m. On the site, there is a place for a garage or sheltered parking, a large swimming pool, an outdoor terrace, a garden, a summerhouse and everything you need to relax. The boundary is fenced, a security system is provided, and there is good access to the road.  

Villas in Turkey are also called houses, in the middle price category, ranging from 80 to 300 square meters. m

New villas comply with European standards, as many are designed by foreign architects. Even a small villa has a built-in garage, floor heating, a terrace and a private pool. Older houses usually have no swimming pool.  

The best regions for buying a villa

Almost the entire coast of Turkey is attractive for real estate investment.

Choose a region by the following criteria:

1. Purpose: for personal use only or as a source of income. In the first case, quiet areas near resorts or in small coastal cities would be preferable. For rental, a house located in the centre of the resort area is more profitable.

2. Climate. On the south coast, the weather is hotter; on the north, the weather is cooler, and winters are mild.  

3. Financial capability. The most expensive Turkish real estate is in Antalya, the more affordable houses are in Alanya and Bodrum, the cheapest is in the north.

4. Is there a need to combine accommodation with business? In this case, the most convenient area for investment is Istanbul and its districts. 

The small cosy resort town of Fethiye is gaining popularity; on one side, it is surrounded by the ancient Lycian mountains; on the other - quiet lagoons with clear water. This place is the best choice for those who do not like crowded cities but prefer peaceful and silent surroundings.  

In the resorts of Belek and Kemer, it is prohibited at the legislative level to build multi-storey buildings, so there are many new villas for sale at affordable prices. Belek has become ‘the’ place t come for top quality golf courses. Kemer is central to many archaeological sites and has a lively resort-like vibe.  

Alanya has had a resurgence in popularity over the last couple of years, with luxury villas built with coastal and mountainous views.

The cost of villas in Turkey depends on such factors:

• location: region, proximity to the center and proximity to the sea;

• area of ​​the house and plot;

• year of construction;

• who sells: the owner, developer or intermediary;

• level of arrangement.
