June was a strong month for the Turkish housing market, with overall sales rising and mortgage transactions posting particularly strong year-on-year growth. However, it is important for an investor to separate the low base effect and monthly dynamics from a sustained change in demand.
June in numbers
In June 2026, 129,979 residential properties were sold in Türkiye - 15.8% more than a year earlier. Mortgage sales reached 25,993 transactions and grew by 72.1%. Their share of the total market was 20%. Sales of new properties increased by 23.1%, and sales of existing homes by 12.5%.
Half year looks calmer
In the first six months, total sales amounted to 699,516 properties and were 3.1% lower than last year. At the same time, mortgage transactions for the first half of the year increased by 32.2%, while sales without a mortgage decreased by 9.3%. This shows a redistribution of financing methods, but not a uniform acceleration of the entire market.
Conclusion for the investor
The growth in the number of mortgage transactions supports the liquidity of the mass segment, but does not guarantee an increase in the price of each property. When assessing an investment, you need to compare the area, quality of construction, real rental yield, costs and depth of secondary demand. Separately, it is worth monitoring the decisions of the Central Bank and bank rates: they will determine how long the mortgage impulse will be.
