While nominal prices continue to climb, reaching an average national price of roughly 5.311 million TRY (approx. 42,488 TRY\/sqm), high inflation means real-term prices have declined.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Liquidity &amp; Foreign Investment:<\/strong> The market is still struggling with liquidity issues. Foreign purchases remain subdued and highly selective, with demand driven almost entirely by domestic buyers tackling deferred housing needs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Interest Rates:<\/strong> Mortgage rates are currently not favorable for property investment, with interest rates hovering around <strong>40%<\/strong> according to TCMB. Consequently, cash sales and developer financing dominate the few transactions taking place.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Geopolitical Impact:<\/strong> The aftermath of the US-Iran conflict in energy markets continues to affect neighboring countries like T\u00fcrkiye, adding to economic uncertainty.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Inflation:<\/strong> Inflation remains high, though it dropped to 29.73% in September.
