Certainly we cannot predict the future , but we can in turn make the right decision based on the information we have . The decision to sell or buy a new home in time may seem more difficult than saying that , and when making these decisions , the only thing we look at is the financial situation , do we have the funds or not ? In the case of huge budgets , it is preferable to make a decision based on the information we obtained through better searches , as you should not make a decision to buy or sell your property just by looking at the money .

In this article , we will review the experts ’estimates from the economic and real estate sectors , which saves you time and provides you with more accurate ideas . There are some points that we need to keep in mind regarding the best time to buy or sell a house in Turkey .

 

 Real estate markets differ from each other 

There is no single specific type of real estate and seller , there is a local real estate market and hundreds of homes that are bought and sold every day . News about the real estate arrives at any time of the day , and you can get information about high or low prices and therefore have the necessary information for the decision to buy or sell .

Real estate prices vary greatly and noticeably even in one region . If you want to buy or sell a house in Turkey , the first thing you should do is look at the square meter prices for the regions , and you should also collect the most amount of information about the area , is it secure or investment and what services are available in it . You should be in contact with a trusted real estate broker who is well versed in the area and is interested in getting updated market information .

 

 Interest rate changes 

Most people need home insurance or a loan to buy a home , so the best opportunity for someone who wants to buy a home is when the interest rate is low in the long run . The interest rate for long-term loans these days ranges between 1.10% and 1.20% . If there is a sharp drop in these percentages , you should not miss this opportunity .

Many who want to buy a home closely follow the interest rates and easy opportunities for loans , even when they are surrounded by these opportunities they make an easier purchase and agree to pay a little more .

 Seasonal variations 

Institutionally , the spring is the period when home sales are at their peak . Mobility statistics also indicate that the movement of people is particularly noticeable in May and June . Families with school-age children generally prefer to move to a new place with the end of the school year , so they make the purchase either in the spring or early summer .

It appears that the increase in purchases will be by the end of the year , along with the spring months . Construction companies that want to achieve year-end goals increase sales by launching new campaigns .

If you have a home that you want to sell , you should prefer times when competition is less . In other words , you should not prefer periods when competition is intense , such as spring , summer and the end of the year .

We can easily find a home for sale in the area we want from many real estate sites on our mobile phones , just like anything else . You can sell your home more easily by taking advantage of the opportunities presented by real estate sites .

 

 Money is not everything 

Selling or buying a home is not just an investment , homes are sold or bought according to several reasons .

Many people can put off house purchases in times of economic crisis or when the exchange rate is high .

There are several reasons that create opportunities in this field to sell or buy a home , and it is not difficult to notice the optimal time and the appropriate opportunity to sell or buy a home if a good research is done and the time is sufficient , and you will still have to follow the real estate sites on the Internet for a period of time , and in the same time , you should monitor and evaluate the local real estate market with the help of a real estate broker .

 

 Low interest rates are an important advantage 

The interest rate for housing loans is 0.99% in many banks . This rate is very good compared to previous months . This is an ideal opportunity to purchase a home . Interest discounts offer great benefits . Another advantage is the prices of houses that have decreased in several provinces during the past two years . And at least the prices did not rise as they were in previous years and remained stable , and that even there can be homes under the market value in proportion to the need . These are the first five features that come to mind when buying a new home .
