FACTORS AFFECTING COST

The price of real estate in Istanbul depends on the following factors:

Residential complex in Istanbul

  1. New building or secondary housing, In this case, both economic and psychological factors influence the price. The decision to sell the property by the previous owner is often urgent, which forces a relatively low cost.

  3. The footage of the apartment. One-room apartments in Istanbul can vary significantly in size, the larger the apartment, the higher the price.
  4. The location. The price is affected by the proximity of the apartment to the main transport arteries of the city, its historical centre and major attractions.
  5. The prestige of the area, location and the level of comfort of the residential complex are significant. A secondary housing apartment at the intersection of tourist paths can sometimes be cheaper than a similar living space in a comfortable business village on the quiet outskirts of Istanbul. In this case, you pay for the standard of living and a safe environment - and can monetize investments by renting housing.
  6. The apartments level in the building affects the cost, the ease of entry and exit from the residential complex, the view from the window and the distance from noisy public places.
  7. Architecture and design are not only aesthetics but also the convenience of housing depends on the elegant architectural solutions. New buildings take into account the different level of needs of residents. The project team includes not only classical architecture but also landscape designers who create a comfortable environment in the area of the residential complex.
  8. The buildings are constructed, taking into account the principles of a barrier-free environment and equipped with convenient elevators, ramps and passages. The barrier-free environment makes houses not only suitable for people with disabilities but also owners with heavy bags, suitcases and prams, i.e. for all residents in any life situation.
  9. Additional amenities the residential complex has includes; swimming pools of various types (open, closed and child-friendly) landscape park, fitness and spa complexes, bathing complexes (sauna or traditional Turkish bath). Also parking, an on-site restaurant, shops and shopping centres, children's venues, cinemas, security system and many others.

AVERAGE PRICES FOR 1-ROOM APARTMENTS DEPENDING ON THE AREA OF ​​THE CITY

The difference in housing prices, depending on the area of ​​the city, can be significant.

The average cost of a 1-room apartment in a comfortable new building in one of the central districts of Istanbul, for example, Sultanahmet, Sisli, is about 125 thousand euros.

The proximity to the economic, tourist and transport hubs will make such a property a profitable business investment.
An apartment in a newly built residential complex on the outskirts of the city costs around 50 thousand euros. The distance from the centre is compensated not only by price but also by a well-maintained natural environment - parks and pools are part of the residential complexes.
