Lately, there is a circulating misconception that buyers search for any available cheap property for sale in Turkey. It is misconceived because it is only partly true. Yes, there is an increase in the number of purchasers that are considering costs in their purchases. That is no surprise with the declining economies all over the world, and the financial hardships that people have had to face in recent years. Albeit, according to Turk.Estate, there are certain commodities and features that people look after in Turkish properties based on purchasing habits and trends.
Why are Sought-After Amenities Important?
There are two major angles on the importance of knowing, and familiarizing oneself with the important amenities that are moving the Turkish real estate market:
Firstly, as an investor, an intending purchaser, a developer, or a partaker in the property market in Turkey, knowing these sought-after amenities will help immeasurably. Notably, it will help in mapping out the right property for your desired market. It will also assist in getting more value for your business. That is being positive.
To be frank, it will also prevent you from wasting money or going into an unprofitable venture. The reality is that purchasers and renters will always prefer the properties having the amenities over those that do not and if yours do not, you will be caught on the downside of the competitive circle. Such properties without the amenities will also spend more time in the market dormant/uninhabited or in search of a buyer/renter. That is bad and signifies poor business.
Secondly, as a purchaser, renter, or entrant into the market, knowing these amenities and learning these tips will significantly improve your purchasing skill and help you choose wisely. When buying for personal use with no intention to commercialize churning it back into the market, you may care less about the amenities and just choose what is suitable for use. However, if you intend to give out the apartment for rental, or sell within the next 5 years, you should pay some attention to these amenities.
Five Hot Amenities for Houses in Turkey
Having established the importance of being acquainted with these amenities, here are the most sought-after home accessories and appliances/amenities in Turkey:
Swimming Pool
Swimming Pools are one of the hottest in-demand housing amenities in Turkey as of 2023. The reason for this is not farfetched – who wouldn’t want a pool to dive in, especially when the weather gets really hot? Luxury pools as an option, so far, only come with properties on the higher sides as regards cost. The buying trend reveals that people are now in search of affordable housing units with pools attached. That is a dicey one seeing that pools are expensive to install and maintain. Investors have now focused on having central pools installed for large projects.
Gardens
The demands for gardens, backyard flower-house areas, and greenish lawns are propagated by the green world policy and inspired by a need to regulate temperature and beautify apartments. Buyers have commented that they prefer homes with flowers, greens, and lawns to those without any. Other than a street boulevard of trees, a garden is an opportunity to grow something and tend to plants.
Wardrobe
Including a modern and fancy wardrobe in the bedroom increases its marketability by at least 30%. It is true that people prefer apartments with a wardrobe, it makes moving in seamless and provides space for clothes. Without a wardrobe, people often face the challenge of having to install one, meanwhile, the room may become too small after one is included.
Interior Space
Turkish people are beginning to place a lot of value on larger room spaces over smaller ones, and rightfully so. Many apartments are so commercialized that the spaces are too small and insufficient for families or even individuals.
WiFi/Internet services
A building with WiFi incorporated sells out faster as regards rent than apartments without Internet services.
A note about Turkey
Many developers and builders have now started incorporating these amenities in their premium luxury homes; which is a wise option. In fact, some homes designed in community styles now have some of the amenities central to the area.
For example, the cost of an apartment can be significantly reduced if there is a community pool, or a central/public pool area attached to a building for all, rather than in the private rooms/apartments. By using this central amenities method, the builders attract more patronage and customers and bridge the cost problems as such apartments will cost less than having a private pool suited in each apartment.
