Pricing policy in the real estate market in Istanbul
If we look at the price map in Istanbul, we will see that it is very heterogeneous.
Â
Prices in different areas are very different from each other, sometimes 3-5 times.
Â
What factors influence the cost of housing here?
Â
Firstly, it is the location and the social level of the district. In Istanbul, these 2 factors go hand in hand.
Â
The most expensive apartments are located along the Bosphorus, but not only.
Â
Wealthy citizens do not really like to live in the bustle of the city, therefore, they choose for themselves closed residential complexes in natural locations, usually surrounded by forests.
Â
Here they have a completely autonomous infrastructure and random people do not get here.
Â
Usually, there are no linear transport stops here either, because everyone gets there by car.
Â
Usually, such apartments have an area of ​​100 square meters or more, and the price starts from USD 600,000.
Â
A little cheaper apartments are located in new, modern areas with good transport accessibility, high social rating and private areas with developed infrastructure.
Â
These, usually, are also centers of business activity.
Â
Often such housing is located on the coast of the Marmara Sea, but not only. Here you can buy an apartment from USD 450,000.
Â
This is followed by apartments in good areas with an average social rating in bedrooms with ideal transport locations and availability of linear transport stops.
Â
Home prices here start at USD 220,000.
Â
And the last one on my list is housing located in renovation zones, where usually, there are too many dilapidated housing that needs renovation.
Â
And not only housing needs renovation, but also roads and infrastructure.
Â
Here, usually, there is not a high social rating, the standard of living is below average, and the population is dense.
Â
The cost of such apartments starts from $130,000 in the secondary market.
Â
Of course, this is not the whole list, there are also areas that did not fall into any classification.
Â
When choosing an area for your own residence or for investment, you need to take into account many factors.
