Demirtaş, Alanya: what it costs to buy, rent and live there in 2026

Demirtaş is a neighbourhood of Alanya, in Antalya province, on the D-400 towards Gazipaşa, 24.9 km by road from the city centre, the furthest of the eight Alanya neighbourhoods sampled the same way, and 22.6 km from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport, the closest of the eight, with 3,449 registered residents in 2022 and only about 2 km of coast at its western edge. On 22 October 2026 the 73 apartments for sale in Demirtaş on Emlakjet had a median asking price of TRY 4,550,000, about EUR 81,900, and a median of TRY 57,556 per square metre, the lowest of the eight, although Mahmutlar and Avsallar asked within 3% of it. Three in four of those flats were in buildings up to five years old, a third in blocks of nine to twelve storeys, and new flats asked less per square metre than flats one to five years old. Demirtaş is not on the Presidency of Migration Management's 2022 closures list, but not one of the 73 flats asked the USD 200,000 a property-based residence permit needs; the dearest, at TRY 9,900,000, fell TRY 2,460 short. Only 10 flats were advertised for long-term rent, at a median of TRY 18,500 a month, below every other neighbourhood in the series, and a 2+1 showed a gross yield of about 4.1% and a worked net yield of about 3.1%, the weakest case for letting of the eight. Daily life rests on two chain supermarkets, a health centre, a post office and a primary school in the village, with the nearest state hospitals 22 to 24 km away in Oba and Gazipaşa.

Where is Demirtaş, and how far is it from Alanya centre and the airports?

Demirtaş is a neighbourhood (mahalle) of Alanya district in Antalya province, on the coast road to Gazipaşa east of Kargıcak, 24.9 km by road from Alanya city centre at Güller Pınarı, 22.6 km from Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport and 154.1 km from Antalya Airport, according to OpenStreetMap routing measured on 22 October 2026. That makes it the furthest from the centre of the eight Alanya neighbourhoods sampled the same way, 0.3 km further than Avsallar on the western side, and the closest to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport. Listings often put the airport 15 km away. From the Demirtaş village point it is 17.0 km in a straight line and 22.6 km by road, about 22 minutes without traffic. The 25 km often given for the centre is close to the 24.9 km measured.

On the boundary held by the General Directorate of Land Registry and Cadastre (Tapu ve Kadastro Genel Müdürlüğü, TKGM), Demirtaş covers 16.8 km², more than Kestel's 12.4 km² and less than Kargıcak's 23.4 km². Aliefendi and İspatlı lie to the north, İshaklı to the west, Beyreli to the east, Hocalar to the south-east, and Keşefli and Yeşilöz to the south. Kargıcak is not a direct neighbour: Aliefendi, İspatlı and İshaklı lie between the two. The D-400 coastal road crosses the western edge of the neighbourhood, and the village sits 2.4 km inland of it in a straight line.

Demirtaş was a town (belde) with its own municipality until 2014. It was not part of the 2009 government decision that merged Kestel, Cikcilli, Oba, Çıplaklı and Tosmur into Alanya Municipality. Its municipality ended under Law 6360, published in the Official Gazette (Resmî Gazete) on 6 December 2012, which abolished the town municipalities in Turkey's new metropolitan provinces and joined each one to its district municipality as a single neighbourhood under the town's name, at the March 2014 local elections.

The same routing gives the distances a resident actually drives.

The drive times are free-flow estimates from the routing engine, so summer traffic adds to every line. The start point is the same Demirtaş point used in the Kargıcak and Kestel guides, and the routing reproduces their published figures: Kargıcak to Demirtaş 10.2 km and Kestel to Demirtaş 17.3 km. On these free-flow estimates Gazipaşa town, its state hospital and the airport are all a shorter drive than Alanya's centre.

The Alanya East Ring Road, opened between Hasbahçe and Mahmutlar on 20 December 2025, ends at Mahmutlar, and its last 3.2 km towards Kargıcak had not opened by October 2026. A driver from Demirtaş therefore takes the D-400 through Kargıcak and Mahmutlar to join it. The toll motorway from Serik, due by October 2028, ends at the D-400 in Telatiye, west of Alanya, and what it changes for each part of the district is set out under the Antalya-Alanya highway.

Is Demirtaş on the sea, and how far is the beach from the village?

Demirtaş reaches the sea only at its western edge, where about 2.0 km of OpenStreetMap coastline lies closest to its boundary, and the village itself stands about 2.5 km from the nearest shore in a straight line. The 2.0 km comes from assigning each stretch of OpenStreetMap coastline to the nearest TKGM boundary, because the cadastral boundary stops short of the shoreline, so it is an approximation; neighbouring Yeşilöz, Kargıcak and Keşefli take longer shares of the same coast. The beaches mapped along it carry no name and no surface tag on OpenStreetMap.

Demirtaş is also hilly. On the Copernicus elevation model, the median height of 178 evenly spaced points inside the boundary is 107 m, and 51% of the land lies above 100 m, against 9% in Kestel and 71% in Kargıcak. The northern strip around the village sits at about 26 to 29 m, and the ground climbs southwards to hills with a median of 150 to 180 m and a highest point of 376 m. Only 14 of the 73 sale listings stated a distance to the sea, and only 2 put it within 200 m, so the sample cannot measure what being near the sea adds to a price, as it could in Kestel and Kargıcak.

Who lives in Demirtaş?

TÜİK, Turkey's statistics institute, counted 3,449 registered residents in Demirtaş in its address-based population register at 31 December 2022, the most recent neighbourhood figure that could be confirmed in October 2026, up from 2,946 in 2017 and 3,030 in 2009. It is the smallest of the eight neighbourhoods in the series: Kargıcak had 5,989 residents in 2022, Tosmur 11,712, Avsallar 15,220, Kestel 15,445, Cikcilli 21,449, Oba 28,864 and Mahmutlar 53,034. At about 206 registered residents per km² it is also the least dense, and its registered population grew 17% in the five years to 2022, against 64% in Kestel.

The register counts people whose address is in Demirtaş, so it includes foreign residents with a registered address and leaves out holiday owners who live elsewhere. No official source publishes the number of foreign residents by neighbourhood, and Demirtaş is not among the Alanya neighbourhoods the Presidency of Migration Management (Göç İdaresi Başkanlığı) closed in 2022 on the grounds of foreign population density.

The sale listings describe a new stock bought to hold rather than to let. Of the 73 apartments listed for sale on 22 October 2026, 68, or 93%, were described as empty and 5 as lived in by the owner; none was let to a tenant. Most were offered unfurnished: 23 of the 66 listings that stated it were furnished, 35%, against 74% in Kestel and Kargıcak. Only 10 flats were advertised for long-term rent on the same day.

What do apartments in Demirtaş cost to buy?

Apartments listed for sale in Demirtaş on 22 October 2026 had a median asking price of TRY 4,550,000, about EUR 81,900, and a median of TRY 57,556 per gross square metre, about EUR 1,036, the lowest price per square metre of the eight Alanya neighbourhoods sampled the same way, though only just below Mahmutlar and Avsallar. The medians come from all 73 apartment listings live on Emlakjet, a national Turkish property portal, that day, read one listing page at a time. Euro figures use the euro buying rate of TRY 55.5780 in the Central Bank of the Republic of Türkiye (TCMB) bulletin of 21 October 2026. These are asking prices, not sale prices, and the gap between the two is covered under how much of an asking price is negotiable in Alanya.

One-bedroom and two-bedroom flats make up 61 of the 73 listings, 32 and 29 of them.

Turkish listings count rooms as bedrooms plus living room, so a 1+1 has one bedroom and a separate living room and a 2+1 has two bedrooms. Gross size includes a share of walls and balconies; across the sample the net area was a median 89% of the gross figure. The 3+1 line rests on 7 listings, so it is indicative only. The other five listings were two 3+2s, two 5+1s and a 4+1.

Demirtaş's square metre is the cheapest of the eight neighbourhoods sampled, but only by a small margin over the next two. The median of TRY 57,556 per square metre was 1.3% below Mahmutlar's TRY 58,289, measured on 13 October 2026, and 2.4% below Avsallar's TRY 59,000 on 16 October, then 9% below Cikcilli's TRY 63,195 on 17 October, 12% below Tosmur's TRY 65,424 and 16% below Oba's TRY 68,149 on 14 October, 20% below Kargıcak's TRY 71,765 on 20 October and 24% below Kestel's TRY 75,909 on 21 October. A 2+1 in Demirtaş asked 31% less than in Kargıcak, where the median 2+1 asked TRY 7,610,000, and 11% less than in Mahmutlar. Avsallar is still cheaper by the flat: its median listing asked TRY 4,200,000 and its median 2+1 TRY 4,875,000.

Furniture carries a price in Demirtaş, unlike in Kestel and Kargıcak. In October 2026 furnished 1+1s asked a median TRY 4,090,000 against TRY 3,250,000 for unfurnished ones, 26% more, for flats of about the same age and size, although only 8 of the 1+1s were furnished, against 21 unfurnished.

Listings posted since 1 July 2026 asked a median TRY 5,440,000 for a 2+1 and TRY 3,750,000 for a 1+1, a little above the whole sample, but 42 listings are too few to read a trend into the gap. Ten listings had been online since 2025 or earlier. Five repeated another listing's room count, size and price, the usual sign of the same flat posted by two agents; removing them leaves the median at TRY 4,600,000 and TRY 57,743 per square metre.

How does building age change the price per square metre in Demirtaş?

Three in four flats for sale in Demirtaş were in buildings up to five years old, and new flats asked less per square metre than flats one to five years old: TRY 56,737 against TRY 67,854 in October 2026. The 55 flats up to five years old made up 75% of the sample, the second highest share of the series after Avsallar's 85%, against 37% in Kestel and 60% in Kargıcak.

The dip for new flats holds within flat types: new 1+1s asked TRY 58,299 per square metre on 8 listings, against TRY 68,182 for 23 1+1s one to five years old, and new 2+1s TRY 57,059 on 9 listings, against TRY 67,854 on 10. The listings do not explain the gap, and with 8 to 23 listings in each group it may not last. The older bands rest on 5 to 8 listings each, so they show only that buildings more than five years old are scarce in Demirtaş and ask less.

Because three quarters of the stock is up to five years old, most Demirtaş flats were finished after the current Turkish Building Earthquake Code (Türkiye Bina Deprem Yönetmeliği) took effect on 1 January 2019. What decides whether the code applied is the date of the building permit, not the year the building was finished, so a block completed in 2021 may still have been permitted under the earlier rules. The permit date is on the building's file at Alanya Municipality.

What does rent cost in Demirtaş?

Apartments in Demirtaş listed for long-term rent on 22 October 2026 had a median asking rent of TRY 18,500 a month, about EUR 333, and the five 2+1s asked a median TRY 18,000, the lowest rents of the eight neighbourhoods sampled. The medians come from all 10 Emlakjet rental listings for flats in Demirtaş that day, so they are indicative only.

The other five flats on 22 October 2026 were two 1+1s at TRY 12,000 and TRY 19,000, two 3+1s at TRY 16,000 and TRY 20,000, and a 4+1 at TRY 20,000. Seven of the ten were unfurnished and three furnished, too few to compare the two. Across all sizes Demirtaş asked a median TRY 182 of rent per square metre, against TRY 348 in Kestel, TRY 318 in Kargıcak and Oba and TRY 270 to 273 in Cikcilli, Tosmur, Mahmutlar and Avsallar. A 2+1 asked TRY 18,000 in Demirtaş, against TRY 25,000 in Tosmur and Mahmutlar, TRY 29,000 in Avsallar, TRY 33,500 in Kestel and TRY 35,000 in Kargıcak.

Rental listings in Demirtaş stay up for months. Two of the ten had been online since September and December 2025, and of the 5 Demirtaş listings in the July to early October 2026 sample used for the cost of living in Alanya, 4 were still advertised on 22 October. Only one villa was advertised for rent, at TRY 35,000 a month, so no villa rent can be stated.

What rental yield can a Demirtaş apartment make?

A two-bedroom flat in Demirtaş showed a gross rental yield of about 4.1% at October 2026 asking prices and rents: twelve months of the TRY 18,000 median rent for a 2+1 divided by the TRY 5,250,000 median asking price. No other flat type had enough rental listings for a yield, and the 2+1 figure rests on five rents, furnished and unfurnished together, so one new listing could move it by half a point or more.

Demirtaş's prices are the lowest of the series, but its rents are lower still, so its yield is not higher. Furnished 2+1s showed gross yields of 5.5% in Tosmur, 5.4% in Kargıcak, 5.0% in Kestel and 4.3% in Cikcilli at the same month's prices. Both figures are asking prices, so the true yield depends on what a buyer pays and what a tenant signs.

Net yield is lower again. Aidat, the monthly service charge, property tax, DASK earthquake insurance and the months a flat stands empty between tenants all come out of the rent, and the worked example for a 2+1 runs those numbers. Rental income is also taxable in Turkey, and the rules differ for residents and non-residents.

Short holiday lets are a separate regime. Under Law 7464 on the tourist rental of residences, letting a home for periods of up to 100 days needs a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, and the application must include a unanimous decision of all the owners in the building where the flat sits. The Constitutional Court rejected a challenge to that rule on 25 December 2025, in a decision published in the Official Gazette on 2 April 2026. In Demirtaş, where 24 of the 73 flats for sale stand in blocks of nine to twelve storeys and 62 listings mention a pool, a holiday let needs the written agreement of every owner in the block.

The regional trend works in a landlord's favour for now. In the Antalya, Burdur and Isparta region, the TCMB's New Tenant Rent Index rose 23.6% in the year to September 2026, while its house price index rose 20.0%.

Can foreigners get a residence permit for a Demirtaş address in 2026?

Demirtaş is not on the Presidency of Migration Management's list of closed neighbourhoods, so no closure stands in the way of an address there, but a permit based on owning property needs a home worth at least USD 200,000 that the owner lives in, and none of the 73 flats for sale on 22 October 2026 asked that much. The most expensive flat, a 5+1 of 230 m², asked TRY 9,900,000, about USD 199,950 and TRY 2,460 short of the threshold.

The Presidency's list of 1,169 neighbourhoods closed from 1 July 2022 names four in Alanya, Kargıcak, Mahmutlar, Kestel and Avsallar, in rows 145 to 148 of the attached file; Demirtaş is not among them. The announcement, checked again on 22 October 2026, now describes the closure as covering temporary and international protection registrations and changes of province for people under protection, and no longer names residence permits. How the wording changed during 2026 is set out in the guide to Avsallar, one of the listed neighbourhoods.

The value test is the one no Demirtaş flat passed. The Presidency's list of documents for a short-term residence permit, published on its e-İkamet application site, requires a home used for a property-based permit to have been worth at least USD 200,000 in Turkish lira on the date it was acquired, and to be used as the foreigner's own home rather than let for rent or any other income. At the TCMB dollar buying rate of 21 October 2026, TRY 49.5123, the threshold was about TRY 9,902,000. The median 2+1 asked TRY 5,250,000, about USD 106,000, roughly 53% of the threshold. Every other neighbourhood in the series had some flats above it: 40% in Kargıcak and Cikcilli, 30% in Kestel, about 27% in Oba and Tosmur, 14% in Mahmutlar and 3% in Avsallar.

Four of the seven villas listed for sale in Demirtaş asked more than the threshold, two of those four being the same house listed twice. So a buyer who needs a property-based permit in Demirtaş is looking at a villa, not a flat, and the value that counts is the one on the date of purchase. How the application itself works is set out under residence permit.

What is the housing stock like in Demirtaş?

Demirtaş's flats are new: three quarters of those for sale on 22 October 2026 were in buildings up to five years old, a third were in blocks of nine to twelve storeys, 85% of the listings mentioned a pool, and two thirds of the listings that stated either condominium title gave kat irtifakı, the construction-stage title. The detail pages of the 73 sale listings give the profile.

The tall blocks are the new ones. The 24 flats in blocks of nine to twelve storeys were a median of one year old and in October 2026 asked TRY 69,329 per square metre, against TRY 47,083 for the 37 flats in blocks of six storeys or fewer. Of the 73 listings, 57 stated a lift, 59 a car park and 24 placed the flat inside a site (a gated residential complex). Inside a site did not mean dearer: the 24 flats in a site asked a median TRY 54,964 per square metre, against TRY 62,692 for the 49 outside one. None gave natural gas as the heating. The 26 sale listings that stated an aidat gave a median of TRY 1,900 a month, below Kestel's TRY 2,500, Kargıcak's TRY 3,000 and Oba's TRY 2,100 and close to Avsallar's TRY 1,875, and 57 of the 73 listings described the flat as eligible for a mortgage.

Of the 46 listings that stated the title as either kat irtifakı or kat mülkiyeti (full condominium title), 30, or 65%, gave kat irtifakı, the second highest share of the series after Kestel's 67%. In a young stock that is expected: 20 of the 35 flats up to five years old that stated a title were on kat irtifakı, which converts to kat mülkiyeti on the strength of the occupancy permit (yapı kullanma izin belgesi, known as iskan) for the whole building under Article 3 of the Condominium Law (Kat Mülkiyeti Kanunu, Law 634). Among older flats it was 10 of 11, and a block still on kat irtifakı years after completion usually has no occupancy permit on record. The title deed shows which title applies, and what each type means for a buyer is set out under types of title deed in Turkey.

Villas are few. Seven were listed for sale on 22 October 2026, at a median of TRY 10,600,000; two of the listings were the same 4+1 house of 240 m², one was an 850 m² detached mansion at TRY 75,000,000, and five of the seven were in buildings more than ten years old, so villa prices cannot be measured.

What is daily life like in Demirtaş?

Daily life in Demirtaş covers the basics in the village and little more: two chain supermarkets, a health centre and a post office lie within 0.6 km of the village point, a state primary school is in the neighbourhood, and the nearest state hospitals are 22 to 24 km away in Oba and Gazipaşa. The places listed are those recorded on OpenStreetMap in October 2026 and placed inside the TKGM boundary, with road distances from the Demirtaş village point.

• Shopping: a BİM on Atatürk Caddesi and an A101 stand 0.3 and 0.4 km from the village point. The nearest shopping centres are the Plumeria in Kargıcak, 9.7 km away, and Akdeniz Park in Mahmutlar, 14.2 km away.
• Healthcare: a health centre recorded on OpenStreetMap as Demirtaş Sağlık Ocağı is 0.5 km from the village point, and two pharmacies are mapped inside the boundary. The state hospitals are ALKÜ Alanya Training and Research Hospital in Oba, 22.1 km and about 26 minutes away, and Gazipaşa State Hospital, 23.7 km and about 19 minutes away. The muhtar, the elected neighbourhood headman, can confirm which family doctor covers an address.
• Schools: Demirtaş İlkokulu, a state primary school, gives its address on its Ministry of National Education site as Uğur Mumcu Caddesi No 28, and a directory that reproduces the ministry's school list places Demirtaş Nihal Demirel Ortaokulu, a middle school, on Antalya-Mersin Caddesi, the name of the D-400 here. Families should confirm places at each level with the Alanya district education directorate (İlçe Milli Eğitim Müdürlüğü).
• Post: a PTT branch is 0.6 km from the village point.
• The weekly market: no market day for Demirtaş itself could be found in October 2026, in the Alanya market lists or on OpenStreetMap. The nearest recorded market is Mahmutlar's Tuesday market, 12.7 km away.
• Buses: no current timetable or line number for municipal buses or dolmuş (shared minibus) services to Demirtaş could be found from Alanya Municipality in October 2026, so a buyer without a car should check the nearest stop and the frequency in person.
• The sea: the nearest shore is about 2.5 km from the village in a straight line, and the D-400 runs along the coast at the western edge of the neighbourhood.
• Syedra: the ruins of the ancient city of Syedra lie in Kargıcak, 12.5 km by road.

Utility tariffs and supermarket prices are the same as elsewhere in Alanya, so the cost of living in Demirtaş differs from the rest of the district mainly in rent and aidat, and both are among the lowest in the series. A shopping centre and the Tuesday and Saturday markets are in Mahmutlar, about 16 minutes away.

What are the downsides of living in Demirtaş?

The main downsides of Demirtaş are its distance, 24.9 km from Alanya's centre and more than 22 km from a state hospital, a flat market where no flat reached the residence permit value test, a rental market of ten listings with the lowest rents of the series, a small village with few services, and a village set back from the sea on rising ground. None of them rules Demirtaş out, but each changes what a buyer should check.

• Distance: Alanya city centre is 24.9 km away, about 29 minutes without traffic, the furthest of the eight neighbourhoods sampled, and the East Ring Road begins only at Mahmutlar.
• Hospital distance: the nearest state hospitals are 22.1 km away in Oba and 23.7 km away in Gazipaşa.
• Residence permit: none of the 73 flats for sale on 22 October 2026 asked the USD 200,000 a property-based permit needs; the dearest asked TRY 9,900,000.
• Thin rental market: 10 flats were advertised for long-term rent, at a median of TRY 18,500 a month and TRY 182 per square metre, the lowest of the series, and two of them had been online since 2025.
• A small place: 3,449 registered residents, two chain supermarkets, no market day that could be found and no bus timetable that could be found.
• The sea and the slope: the village is about 2.5 km from the shore in a straight line, half the neighbourhood lies above 100 m, and only 14 sale listings stated a distance to the sea.
• Forest fire nearby: the forest fire that started in neighbouring Aliefendi on 18 September 2025 damaged 300 hectares of forest, according to the Antalya Regional Directorate of Forestry, and reached İspatlı and Kargıcak, according to the DHA news agency; no report found says it reached Demirtaş.
• Old and duplicate listings: 5 of the 73 sale listings repeated another listing's size and price, and 10 had been online since 2025 or earlier.

Each of these can be checked before an offer is made. The title type, the occupancy permit, the building permit date and the route to the beach are among the checks set out for a property viewing trip to Alanya.

Who is Demirtaş right for, and how does it compare with Mahmutlar, Kargıcak, Kestel, Oba, Tosmur, Cikcilli and Avsallar?

Demirtaş suits buyers who want a new flat at the lowest price per square metre in the series, close to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport, and who will use it themselves rather than rely on rent; it does not suit a buyer who needs a property-based residence permit from a flat, because none of the flats for sale in October 2026 reached the USD 200,000 value test, or one who needs the town, a hospital or the beach on foot. It is also the only neighbourhood in the series where Gazipaşa's town centre, airport and state hospital are all a shorter drive than Alanya's centre.

Sale prices were sampled for Demirtaş on 22 October, for Kestel on 21 October, for Kargıcak on 20 October, for Cikcilli on 17 October, for Avsallar on 16 October, for Oba and Tosmur on 14 October and for Mahmutlar on 13 October 2026. Rents for Demirtaş, Kestel, Kargıcak, Cikcilli, Avsallar and Tosmur are all listings live on the sampling day, and Demirtaş's rest on 10 listings; those for Oba and Mahmutlar come from listings posted between July and October 2026. Distances are measured to the same point at Güller Pınarı and to the same airport point.

On these figures Demirtaş fits a buyer who wants a holiday home or a home for long stays in a new block, flies through Gazipaşa, drives, and is content with a village supermarket and health centre rather than a town. It fits less well for an investor chasing yield, who will find higher gross yields in Oba, Mahmutlar or Avsallar and a deeper rental market in all three; for a buyer who needs a residence permit through property and wants a flat; or for a household that needs a hospital or the beach within walking distance. Mahmutlar asks almost the same per square metre, is 13.3 km closer to the centre and has the largest number of listings in the series, and Avsallar, at the same distance on the western side, asks a little more per square metre but less per flat.

Worked example: buying and letting a 2+1 in Demirtaş

A two-bedroom flat bought at the October 2026 median asking price of TRY 5,250,000 and let at the median asking rent of TRY 18,000 a month would return about 3.1% a year net, before income tax, if the buyer pays the whole title deed fee and no agent's fee. The calculation uses the medians from the listing samples and the fees in force in 2026, set out in full under buying costs in Turkey. A 2+1 is used because it is the only flat type with enough rental listings to give a median, five, and the second largest group of flats for sale, 29 of 73.

At October 2026 prices, the net income of TRY 169,058 is 3.1% of a TRY 5,460,000 outlay and 3.0% of TRY 5,712,000 if the buyer also pays the maximum agent's fee. Smaller costs are left out: the land registry service charge, the sworn translator at the title deed office, repairs, furniture and the income tax on the rent, which depends on the owner's tax residence. The property tax line is an assumption, because the municipal value of a flat is set by Alanya Municipality, not by the market, and the rent rests on five 2+1 listings, furnished and unfurnished together.

The worked examples for Oba (5.9%), Mahmutlar (5.3%), Avsallar (5.2%), Tosmur (4.6%), Kestel (4.5%), Kargıcak (4.3%) and Cikcilli (3.9%) all came out higher, so Demirtaş's case for buying to let is the weakest of the eight. No example can be run for a 1+1, because only two 1+1s were advertised for rent. At about USD 106,000 in October 2026 the 2+1 is about half the USD 200,000 a property-based residence permit needs, and a flat let to tenants could not serve as the basis for one in any case.

How fast are Demirtaş prices and rents moving?

Official figures do not go below the region: in the Antalya, Burdur and Isparta region, the TCMB house price index rose 20.0% and the new-tenant rent index 23.6% in the year to September 2026, according to the bulletin published on 16 October 2026. Annual consumer price inflation was 29.73% in September 2026 according to TÜİK, so both figures were falls in real terms, of roughly 7.5% for prices and 5% for rents. Across Turkey the two indices rose 22.3% and 26.6%.

Neither TCMB nor TÜİK publishes an index for Alanya or for a single neighbourhood. Demirtaş's own listings give only a weak signal: flats listed since 1 July 2026 asked a little more than the whole sample, TRY 5,440,000 against TRY 5,250,000 for a 2+1, and 4 of the 5 rental listings in the July to early October sample were still advertised on 22 October. The listing medians for Demirtaş are a snapshot of asking prices on one day, 22 October 2026, and will be refreshed in January 2027 with the same method used for the other seven neighbourhoods, so the change in Demirtaş itself can be measured from then on.
