Apartments for sale in Izmir — Ready to move
Looking for apartments for sale in Izmir with ready to move? Izmir is Turkey's third city and the Aegean's economic hub — Bornova and Karşıyaka lead new-build supply for both residents and investors. Bornova and Karşıyaka lead new-build, Alsancak is the walkable urban core, Çeşme delivers the coastal luxury tier, and Urla attracts wine-country buyers.
Turkish apartments are typically listed as 1+1 (50–65 m²), 2+1 (80–110 m²) or 3+1 (120–160 m²) — the number before the plus is bedrooms, the +1 is the living room. In Izmir, apartments typically trade between USD 100,000–USD 380,000, with gross rental yields in the 5–7% range. Ready-to-move inventory removes construction risk and lets you start earning rent or move in within 30–60 days of the title transfer.
Izmir attracts Turkish upgraders, European lifestyle buyers, and increasing numbers of Israeli and Ukrainian relocators. Apartments dominate the buy-to-let and citizenship investment tracks — lower entry price, faster resale and easier property management. Before viewing, our advisors handle the two essentials for this combo: Request the building's occupancy permit (iskan) and the DASK earthquake insurance certificate before signing — both are required for title transfer.
