Men are more likely than women to buy housing in Turkey

Men are more likely than women to buy housing in Turkey

Summing up the results of 2022, the Turkish Institute of Statistics presented data, including on who buys residential real estate in Turkey more often: men or women. Comparing the figures with the previous year, 2021. 

 

As it turned out, the percentage ratio in this sense has practically remained in 12 months: out of 100% of new homeowners in 2022, 32.6% were women, 55.3% were men; another 1.6% of residences - houses or apartments - were purchased in half. Well, the remaining 10.5% are other «layouts» of the owners: purchase for several people including children, shared ownership (including not only relatives), etc. 

 

In 2021, the percentages were similar:

 

  • women accounted for 34% of transactions;
  • the share of men - 54.9% of transactions;
  • for joint acquisitions - 1.9% of transactions;
  • other cases - 9.2%. 

 

But it should be noted that in previous years, women bought housing much less often: the number of contracts signed by women has increased by 47.6% over the past few years. And at the moment, almost every second TAPU (certificate of ownership) one way or another, a woman appears - as the sole owner or co-owner.
