📊 According to data from the Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) for May 2026, residential property sales to foreign buyers in Antalya increased by 42 percent compared to April. This surge occurred against the backdrop of an overall decline in demand across the country's real estate market.

🇷🇺 Citizens of Russia once again took first place among foreign buyers. In May, they purchased 268 properties in Turkey. This accounts for a significant share of the total number of transactions with foreigners, of which 1,387 were registered throughout the country in May.

📉 The overall market picture looks as follows:

— total residential property sales in Turkey fell by 31.2 percent year-on-year in May, to 93,333 units;
— sales to foreigners also decreased by 27 percent year-on-year;
— however, against this decline, Antalya shows an impressive month-on-month growth of 42 percent.

🏝 Antalya remains the main magnet for Russian buyers. The main areas of demand concentration are Kemer and Konyaalti. These locations attract investors for several reasons:

— rental yields in these areas amount to 6–8 percent per annum in euros;
— they have developed infrastructure for year-round living and recreation;
— property prices still offer attractive entry conditions compared to other resort destinations.

📈 Russians' interest in Turkish real estate has remained consistently high since 2022. Despite the overall market slowdown and rising prices, Russian citizens continue to lead in terms of purchase volumes.

💡 For an investor, this means that Antalya stands out as an island of stable growth against the backdrop of a downturn in other regions. The 42 percent sales growth confirms high confidence in this region and its long-term investment potential.
