📊 TURKSTAT Data Released: Is a New Era Starting in the Real Estate Market?

📊 What Do the Latest TURKSTAT Data Show?

According to the April 2026 data released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT), the annual inflation is approximately 29-30%.

Although monthly fluctuations continue, the general trend indicates a more controlled period compared to previous years.

📈 Inflation Over the Years

• 2021 → Inflation started rising
• 2022 → Sharp increases and peak levels
• 2023 → Market adaptation period
• 2024 → Stabilization signals
• 2025-2026 → Gradual decline and balance seeking

During this period, real estate remained one of the safest havens for investors. Especially in high-inflation periods, physical assets have maintained their value.

🏠 Current Rent Increase Rate

As of April 2026, the rent increase rate according to TURKSTAT is:

32.82%

The previous period was 33.39%, indicating a gradual slowdown in rent growth.

Since rent increases are based on the 12-month average CPI, market changes continue to reflect in rental prices with a delay.

💡 Impact on the Real Estate Market

During high inflation periods:

• ✔️ Property prices rise quickly
• ✔️ Rental yields increase
• ✔️ Demand remains strong

However, the current picture shows:

• ✔️ Price growth is slowing

Based on current data, key expectations for 2026 are:

• 📉 Gradual decline in inflation
• 🏗️ Controlled price increases in new projects
• 🌍 Continued interest from foreign investors
• 💰 More opportunities in the right locations

Especially in strong tourism and investment regions like Alanya, this period can create significant opportunities for investors.
