Does Price Depend Only on Size?
Many investors ask:
Why is there a noticeable price gap between two apartments with the same size and layout?
The truth is that a property’s price is not determined by square meters alone.
It is the result of an integrated system of legal, investment, and location-related factors that work together to shape its final value.
Real estate is not just a number — it is an equation.
First: Location and Timing of Purchase
Location within the city plays a decisive role in pricing:
- Is the property located in a central area?
- In a newly developed district?
- Or in a traditional, stable neighborhood?
Timing also makes a significant difference:
- Buying off-plan is usually more affordable
- During construction, prices are moderate
- After completion, prices reach their highest levels
Choosing the right time to enter the market is essential.
Second: Legal Aspects and Purchase Conditions
Not all properties are equal from a legal standpoint.
Several factors directly affect the price, including:
- Payment method (cash vs. installment plans)
- Eligibility for Turkish citizenship by investment
- Eligibility for residence permits
- Possible exemptions from title deed transfer fees
- Type of license (residential or commercial)
Properties eligible for citizenship often carry additional market value.
Third: Property and Project Condition
The condition of the property also impacts pricing:
- Completed project or under construction?
- Brand-new unit or resale?
- Vacant or currently rented?
- Furnished or unfurnished?
Each of these elements can increase or decrease the final price.
Fourth: Unit-Specific Details
Even within the same project, prices may vary due to:
- Floor level (ground, middle, or top floor)
- Corner unit or interior unit
- Duplex or standard apartment
- Garden access or terrace
- Type of view (sea, forest, university, city center)
Units with open views or higher floors are generally priced higher.
Fifth: Facilities and Project Quality
Projects that include:
- Swimming pools
- Fitness centers
- Landscaped green areas
- Covered parking
- Advanced security systems
Typically command higher prices compared to traditional buildings.
The reputation of the construction company and project management quality also play a major role in determining value.
Sixth: Proximity to Services and Transportation
Properties located near:
- Public transportation
- Schools and universities
- Markets and shopping centers
Tend to have higher value for both residential and investment purposes.
Seventh: Investment Perspective
A property’s price should not be evaluated only based on today’s value, but also on:
- Expected capital appreciation
- Actual rental demand
- Projected annual return
In promising cities such as Yalova, price differences may be justified by varying long-term growth potential.

It is a comprehensive investment decision that requires careful analysis of location, timing, legal status, and future potential.
