In a country that blends the charm of history with the splendor of nature, real estate investment opportunities in Turkey stretch from east to west, offering investors options that match their goals and capabilities.
Among its diverse provinces, some cities stand out for their luxury and high prices, while others, promising and competitively priced, represent golden opportunities for future growth.
Among these cities, Yalova, the pearl overlooking the Sea of Marmara, emerges as a balanced destination that combines affordability, beauty, tranquility, and guaranteed investment returns.

The Turkish Real Estate Market in Numbers
The Turkish real estate market continues to grow steadily, driven by rising domestic and foreign demand, as well as the expansion of infrastructure and residential projects.
According to data from the Central Bank of Turkey’s Electronic Data Delivery System (EVDS), the Housing Price Index (KFE) increased by approximately 32% year-on-year by the end of the third quarter of 2025, a clear indicator of the market’s sustained appeal and strong demand.

As for the average price per square meter, recent data indicates a significant variation among the different provinces:

The Cheapest Provinces by Average Price per Square Meter (in Turkish Lira):

  • Ağrı – 17,442 TRY/m²
  • Mardin – 18,571 TRY/m²
  • Adıyaman – 20,000 TRY/m²
  • Malatya – 20,369 TRY/m²
  • Kilis – 21,239 TRY/m²

The Most Expensive Provinces by Average Price per Square Meter (in Turkish Lira):

  • Muğla – 74,632 TRY/m²
  • Istanbul – 68,763 TRY/m²
  • Antalya – 48,213 TRY/m²
  • Izmir – 47,066 TRY/m²
  • Çanakkale – 44,605 TRY/m²

These figures show that the Turkish real estate market is far from uniform; it offers opportunities suited to every type of investor, regardless of budget or ambition

Yalova’s Position Among the Cheapest and Most Expensive Provinces
According to real estate analytics platforms Endeksa and Hepsiemlak, the average price per square meter in Yalova ranges between 30,000 and 32,000 Turkish Lira.

This places Yalova in the upper-middle range in terms of real estate prices not among the cheapest provinces, but also not among the most expensive. This balance makes it an ideal choice for investors seeking a harmony between price, location, and return.

While prices per square meter in Istanbul or Muğla often exceed 60,000–70,000 TRY, Yalova offers high-quality properties with sea and nature views at prices roughly 40–50% lower, all while being strategically close to Istanbul and Bursa.

Why Are Arab Investors Drawn to Turkey?
Turkey ranks among the top destinations for Arab investors, thanks to several key factors:

1. Investor-Friendly Legal Framework
Turkish law allows foreigners to own property easily and transparently, with the added benefit of obtaining Turkish citizenship through real estate investment worth at least $400,000.

2. Economic Stability and Growth
Despite global challenges, Turkey’s economy has maintained strong growth, particularly in the construction and real estate sectors, supported by ongoing major infrastructure projects.

3. High Investment Returns
Rental income in popular cities like Istanbul, Antalya, and Yalova offers Arab investors steady income and reliable returns.

4. Cultural and Geographical Proximity
The shared cultural values, similar traditions, and family-friendly environment in cities such as Yalova make Turkey a preferred destination for Arab families seeking comfort, familiarity, and stability.
