Why should I choose Turkey ?

For a country to become an overseas home destination, it first needs to be a strong tourist destination. In 2005, Turkey was announced one of world's top ten tourist destinations which succeeded to surpass the previous estimates in the number of inbound tourists by the United Nations World Tourism Organizations. It is a fact that during the past 25 years the number of tourists who visited Turkey has increased by 17 times. In 2008, Turkey expects 30 million foreign visitors. So, as numbers of visitors to Turkey increase, no doubt numbers of property buyers will increase too. Yet properties even in some very popular areas are still affordable. Standard 1+1 room apartments can be found even for 35.000 Euro. With the continuing negotiations to join the EU, property prices will rise further and eventually achieve parity with Spain, but this process may take another 7-8 years. 2009 - 2010 might be the right years to search for your new home in Turkey.
