Housing became an investment tool in maintaining the value of money

Based on the depreciation in TL, investors sought housing in their quest to protect the value of their assets. The rise in housing prices will continue with the increasing costs associated with the rising exchange rate and the low supply. When we look at the details of the sale, we see that some foreign currency assets are directed towards housing, and we will encounter a crowd that turns to real estate in dollars and gold in the coming days. In summary, we foresee that house sales will maintain its vitality due to the belief that prices will increase even more in the inflationary period and the fact that housing investment is an important hedge against inflation.
