Cukurova International Airport’s Influence over Buying Property in Mersin

Population of the region the airport is serving

Prior to the opening of our airport the Adana Sakirpasa airport was the main air field in the area. It served Adana, Osmaniye to its East and Mersin to its West. There were only a few flights from abroad, therefore it was mainly an airport for domestic flights. This will change with the Cukurova International Airport and buying property in Mersin will get more and more popular!

• With the opening of the COV, the same area is served, but the difference is, international flights from all over the World.
• Osmaniye is a little too far to the new airport however with Adana and Mersin greater metropolitan areas, COV will be serving a population of 4.300.000.
• COV is the second largest airport of Turkey after the New Istanbul Airport.
• In time, both Mersin and Adana will be more accessible and investors will flow to the region for profitable investments.

Where do you stand when it comes to buying property in Mersin?

Mersin’s main issue regarding foreign investors was accessibility. For example if you live in Manchester, you have to fly to Istabul first for 3-4 hours and fly to Adana for another 90 minutes. With COV, there will be direct flights from the UK in about 1-2 years so you can easily access to the region directly.

On average a decent apartment in a facilitated complex in Istanbul prices start from $750.000 in areas like #Seyrantepe, #Kadıkoy etc. In Mersin however prices of luxurious apartments start from a very competitive $90.000 in seafront developing locations and from $150.000 in prime quarters of the city.

Here is a rhetorical question: Where do you think prices will be in 2-3 years with an international airport? We all know the answer.

Investment strategy & ideas

The simplest is always buying apartments however there is more to buying property in Mersin than what meets the eye. It is clear our agency is promoting land investment, however Mersin has a good variety of options for you if you are looking for security rather than slightly risky but rapid gains.

You will see high returns from agricultural investment such as buying a plain land and turning it in to an Avocado garden. Banana greenhouses are also very lucrative and when zoning comes to your region you will maximise your exit from this kind of 5-10 year investment.

For shorter to mid term investment, buying a zoned land is a better option. We recommend Dynamic Investment to maximise profits and overall return on the invested amount. The key to dynamic investment is distributing your funds correctly in the beginning.
