Why is property so cheap in Turkey?
(lemmy.world)
Hint; Check out the inflation and interest rates in Türkiye
Hint; Check out the inflation and interest rates in Argentina
also I am talking about not just now but also last 30 years. Its been always cheap even when inflation and rates were low
Argentina has made huge strides towards fixing their inflation whereas Turkey has a megalomaniac leader who refuses to even ackowledge it exists.
So that's why it's cheap?
Yes, combination of the exhange rate and external market factors
enflasyon ile düşük maaşlar nedeni ile bizim kiralar uluslararası alternatiflerle karşılaştığında düşük görünüyor ama ekonomik durumumuz yüzünden hala alınması zor, bu arada Türkiye ekonominin büyük bir kısmı genellikle inşaat sektörüne dayanıyor ve bu da, tekrar olarak, uluslararası alternatiflerle karşılaştığında daha ucuz görünüyor
Due to inflation and low wages our rents seem low compared to international alternatives but it is still difficult to afford because of our economic situation, meanwhile a large part of the Turkish economy is generally based on the construction sector and this, again, seems cheaper compared to international alternatives
TTFY
Who is talking about rent ?
Are you able to see the content of my post ? It starts with "House price to salary" and it ends with "Thanks"
replace rent with purchase then
I don't understand what you're saying.
You're saying prices seem cheap but they're not cheap? Facts (data) disagree with you.
You're saying too much supply?
Property prices are driven by demand and supply.
I have little to contribute, but could you please share your date sources for the numbers started?
I would be interested to see how salary data could be aggregated reliably in countries with significant differences in population.
numbeo
Neresi ucuz amk aynı ülkede yaşadığımızdan emin misin?
Well they're not built to any decent spec, and risk of earthquake is always high. Plus the president/lord has his fingers in every construction company in the country, so he makes money whenever one is built and when it falls down.
Nobody wants to buy your dirt farm, buddy.
The CBI program mostly brings in dirty money.
Türkiye invested heavily into construction industry in the last three decades, so new buildings coming pretty cheap.
Most Turkish cities doesn’t have urban planning and sprawl doesn’t stop at all. Istanbul Downtown’s two extents takes 2 hours with a car, without leaving the city.
Is this propaganda?
Who is paying me to represent who's interest on this little website?
You tell me, buster! 🕵️♂️
Nah, j/k. But seriously tell Erdogan to piss off. ❤️
The question has the implication that something is wrong in Turkey. Propaganda wouldn't want to imply that.
