Turkish investors are reaching historical levels in overseas real estate purchases

Both in my regular meetings with Dubai-based development company officials and in feedback I receive from high-end real estate owners or officials in Beşiktaş, I am aware that Turkish investors are actively purchasing real estate abroad. The Central Bank's balance of payments data for 2025 also supports this. For the first time in 2025, the amount of foreign currency used for real estate purchases directed abroad exceeded the amount coming into the country. In terms of foreign currency, foreign real estate purchases in Turkey decreased by 17% compared to 2024.
However, Turkish investors' purchases of real estate abroad have increased by 24%. Dubai and Al Marjan Island – the casino district – are significant choices for residential areas in overseas real estate investments.
The absence of currency risk, very low inflation, no income tax, attractive rental yields and return on investment (ROI), and attractive annual value appreciation make Dubai appealing.
I recently visited Dubai and easily observed the following:
There is a solid system in place that makes people feel safe.
Daily life is calm and organized.
Large construction projects by major development companies are proceeding at full speed everywhere.
The economy in Dubai is based on real estate and tourism.
For me, Dubai is more of an international hub for living than just an Arabian city.
If you are considering investing in real estate in Dubai or the Al Marjan Island area, it would be beneficial for us to discuss it.
