In June 2026, Ukrainian citizens purchased 170 residential properties in Turkey and tied for second place among foreign buyers with Iranian citizens, according to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute released on July 17.
Russian citizens purchased the most properties that month—381 units. Ukrainians and Iranians each bought 170 properties and jointly ranked second in the list.
In total, 2,015 residential properties were sold to foreigners in Turkey in June, which is 20.1% more than in June 2025. Foreigners accounted for 1.6% of the total number of residential property transactions.
At the same time, from January through June 2026, foreigners purchased 9,083 thousand residential properties in Turkey—9.2% fewer than during the same period last year. Thus, the growth in June has not yet offset the overall decline in foreign demand during the first half of the year.
Across the Turkish market as a whole, 129,979 residential properties were sold in June, a 15.8% increase year-over-year. Sales of new homes rose by 23.1% to 43,406 units, while sales of resale homes increased by 12.5% to 86,573 units.
Ukrainians are traditionally among the largest foreign buyers of Turkish real estate. Throughout 2025, they purchased 1,541 thousand properties and ranked third behind citizens of Russia and Iran. In June 2026, Ukraine rose to a tie for second place.
