Real Estate Sector Looks Optimistic for 2025: A 30% Increase in Housing Demand Expected

After a period of stagnation in recent years, the real estate sector showed signs of recovery in the last quarter of 2024. The year 2025 is anticipated to be a promising period for the sector, especially in terms of housing demand and investment opportunities. It is expected that the demand for properties priced between 1-5 million TL will increase by 20-30% in the first three months of the year. 

Throughout 2024, housing sales remained low, but picked up pace in the last quarter. During this period, investors with savings particularly focused on properties in the 1-5 million TL range. However, sales of properties priced above 5 million TL saw more limited growth. 

Expectations for 2025 are highly positive. Predictions for housing prices based on price ranges are as follows: 

. 1-5 Million TL: A 20-30% increase in demand is expected during the first three months. 

. 5-10 Million TL: A 10% increase is expected during the first three months. 

. 10 Million TL and Above: A 10% increase is expected in the first six months. 

Rental Prices Will Maintain Current Levels 

Despite the increase in housing demand, the insufficient supply is keeping rental prices high. Experts predict that the construction sector's recovery and the return of refugees may help increase the supply of properties. However, a significant decrease in housing prices is not expected. New rental properties are expected to maintain their current rental prices. 

The year 2025 could mark the beginning of a new phase for the real estate sector. The rising housing demand and the growing interest from high-income investors are expected to play a critical role in gaining momentum for the sector. This increased demand will likely lead to more new housing projects and investment opportunities. In particular, luxury properties, vacation homes, and new developments will continue to attract attention from investors.
