A Place In The Sun - Turkey: The Market
Increasingly popular with British house buyers, and likely to become ever more so when it joins the EU, Turkey’s low house prices have drawn comparisons with the Spanish property market in the 1970s, and it is touted as the next hot spot by aficionados. “Turkey appeals to a range of people, not only investors, so the market should enjoy a long term increase in property prices,” says David Cox of Property Frontiers. “The dynamics of the property market are very similar to those of Spain 20 or more years ago and Turkey could well emulate this growth and development pattern.”
An added cash incentive for would-be buyers is the advent of ‘no-frills’ airlines servicing Turkey (currently scheduled airlines only fly into the region, taking 4-5 hours from UK airports), a development that, if history tells us anything, will see house prices increase dramatically in a short period of time.

Financial Times: By Vincent Boland Financial Times, Nov 22, 2006.  REPORT - INVESTING IN TURKEY: Calling in a new era
Investing in Turkey is quite the fashion today. In the past two years the country has attracted more foreign direct investment than in the previous 20 years combined. The stock market is near its record level, fuelled by a renewed wave of investment in emerging markets and by the prospect of more structural reforms that are making it easier to do business. The economy has grown strongly in the past five years, recording the highest output growth of any member of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) over that period.
As Angel Gurria, secretary-general of the OECD, observed during a visit to Turkey in October that "it has been a long but fruitful five years". He was referring to the sometimes painful progress that has been made since the country's economic crisis of early 2001. That seems like ancient history now, as optimism among investors and the evidence of a consumer boom testify to the level of confidence generally held about the transformation of the economy and its ability to keep growing at a sustainable level into the future.
