Turkey, which is the European leader with the sales of 1.5 million residences in 2021, has become the leader in the list of countries in which housing is valued the most in the world. According to a study by a British research company, Turkey leads the way in the housing price index with a nominal increase of 59% in 2021.
In the list, Turkey was followed by New Zealand with 22.6% and Czechia with 22.1%. Australia, South Korea, the Netherlands, Slovakia, the USA, and Estonia were among the top 10 countries in housing value increase.
According to the news of one of Turkey’s leading newspapers, European houses have appreciated by 10% last year, and this rate has been recorded as less than half of Turkey’s net valuation after inflation is subtracted. According to the official figures announced, it was stated that there was a 10.8% increase in housing value in England, 12.4% in Germany, 11.2% in Portugal, and 7.1% in France in 2021.
