Advance planning allowing ample time for your purchase, results in many benefits.
The most financially important of these benefits, is the reduction in sales price when ample time is allowed for the price negotiation. In the years since 2022 sellers and buyers are reporting that the actual sales price of the property transaction they made was about 20-30% below the listed sales price first asked. That’s a big discount !
To benefit from a similar discount, follow these steps:
1. Plan to complete payment your property purchase either in early December OR late March- never between April (Easter) and September.
2. Begin your property search a minimum of 9 months in advance (or longer) – that Means beginning the Property Search & Selection service with your MyTapu Property Finder in March.
3. Make a short Buy List of 5-8 properties to buy;
4. Complete all Due Diligence steps on each property (there is a way to reduce the time and cost of doing this- your MyTapu Property Finder knows how to do it, as part of the preliminary Negotiation tactics he/she uses).
5. Submit your price offer to the seller at a reasonable price advised by your Property Finder, taking into account the real supply and demand situation in the market, shown in the Market Price Valuation Report.
6. Do not expect the seller to accept this price… instead, plan to re-submit the same purchase price bid every month- or use a pricing strategy advised by your Property Finder…
7. Remember, the MyTapu Property Finder is a Transaction Manager that is a Qualified Investment advisor- not a real estate agent.
8. Keep track of prices of the properties shown in the Market Price Valuation Report during the time from April through November (or February), and the sales of properties on your Buy List.
9. At any time during this extended period of time the Seller may come back to you and discuss price, because the seller knows he/she priced his/her property 20-30% above the market value, and because your Property Finder is submitting price bids to the seller once a month, as a reminder. You may receive reduced and lower price offers from more than one seller…
10. Once you have received the seller’s concessions to sell at a reasonable price, and very happily at a discount from the original sales listing price, you the buyer, will have purchased at a price that represents a sound investment, protecting capital and preserving wealth.
Price Setting & Tracking…
Remember, a property owner in Turkiye, whether foreign or Turkish, decides on the amount he or she wants to receive for the sale in terms of a USD, EUR, or GBP price, and then adds 20-30%. Then converts this price into Turkish Lira (TL) at the existing exchange rate, and every two or three months, adjusts the TL price to reflect the most recent TL exchange rate. So having this insight, a buyer can calculate the price at which the owner is willing to sell, and use that insight during negotiations. This is a great advantage. Tracking the property over an extended period of time, for achieving an advantageous purchase price. The MyTapu Property Finder keeps track and applies these insights automatically, so the buyer has the information to benefit from,
Expectations by Sellers and Agents...
Agents do not expect foreign non-Turkish buyers to have these insights, and are not prepared nor want to help. Instead their business and sales practice relies on high pressure tactics to complete a sale as fast as possible, stating various contrived reasons why speed is required, the most usual being the existence of another buyer... but the reality there is that there are ten sellers for every one buyer in the market today...
On the other hand, selling owners fully expect buyers to begin negotiations by offering a bid price 20% or more below the sales list price- which is why the selling owner increased their sales list price by 20-30%...
Selling owners that are Turkish are prepared to wait as long as it takes to sell their property for a premium price.. and so it is not unusual for properties to be on the market for sale for 18 months or longer... Usually the price is only lowered when the owner needs money - and one of the biggest reasons for needing money is to pay tax bills... and tax bills are due at the end of November and March... that is why these seasonal times are the best for paying a seller a discounted price...
Selling owners that are foreign and not Turkish, are typically surprised by the amount of time it takes to sell a property, but by now, have learned from the experience of having over-paid by 20-30%, about the practice of adding a large price mark-up to the sales listing price...
And if they haven't, an agent will have done it for his own pocket and profiteering...
MyTapu Property Finder's know these insights from years of buying and selling property in Turkiye for clients since 2003.... There are also other discounts and aspects of a negotiation the MyTapu Property Finders are skilled and experienced at managing... ..
