Istanbul property is now tipped to be one of the best investment opportunities for 2010. Istanbul is known as the gateway from the west to the east and as so can offer western society and security along with the promise of the east’s captivating cosmopolitan culture and exciting environments.

We would like to highlight that Turkey’s property boom is also due to rapidly growing cities such as Istanbul where the significant Istanbul property market deficit presents opportunity. As Managing Director of Experience International, Steven Worboys, comments,
“The success of the Istanbul property market is a simple matter of supply and demand. Due to the rapid growth of the city (some 400,000 new inhabitants arrive each year to work or study) the existing housing stock has reached capacity. It is estimated that 250,000 new homes per annum are required until 2015 according to the Real Estate Investment Trust Association to meet the demand generated by foreign as well as domestic investment.” Istanbul is the established economic powerhouse of Turkey, offering some of the most attractive investment opportunities in the world.
