Turkish TV Series Stimulates Demand for Citizenship Property Investment...

The 'Rise of Empires: Ottoman' tops audience viewing ratings in the US and World Wide...



Until now, no locally produced Turkish film or TV series targeted at export to the international market has achieved notable success.

That has just changed, with the stellar success of the Netflix drama-documentary series ‘The Rise of Empires: Ottoman’… topping audience viewing rated in the USA and World Wide…

This success can be expected to result in additional demand for the Istanbul real estate market, corresponding to similar past correlations.  And result in a corresponding increase in Turkish Citizenship by Property Investment applications, with popularity increasing World Wide.

This very interesting development deserves a closer look, in more detail, in another post.


Property prices in Istanbul over the last six months have been stable, but still offer investors bargains if they can find liquidity-induced distress sales. During the last 18 months the real estate sector in Turkey has been depressed. So the market welcomed the recent policy of reducing the investment threshold for citizenship to USD 250,000. This has helped stimulate demand from international buyers, many hailing from the Middle East.

Many of these buyers are motivated by Turkish TV showing wonderful Istanbul life style and property, have come to buy their dream home for that reason alone ! Over the last five years Turkish TV series have grown increasingly popular in international markets such as the Middle East, South America, and India. These programs are local Turkish productions produced in Turkish, and dubbed in foreign languages for export. 

Now that a Turkish production targeting foreign audiences has proved a stellar success, the impact on the perception of Turkish assets, and real estate, from an investment persepctive, deserves re-evaluation...
