Judge an Alanya purchase by the evidence for the actual unit, not a neighbourhood growth prediction. Start with a comparable shortlist, identify what each price represents and test whether the purchase still fits your plans under less favourable assumptions.
Separate market context from property evidence
Keep four evidence categories distinct: official indices, advertised listings, independent valuations and documented transactions. An asking price records a seller's position; it should not be entered as a completed sale. A valuation should be read with its date, purpose, assumptions and comparables.
Use the CBRT residential property index for broader context. Record its reference period and geographic coverage. Consult the CBRT methodology explanation when comparing releases or interpreting revisions. Neither resource establishes a future selling price for your apartment.
Build a like-for-like shortlist
Use one comparison sheet for units in Oba, Mahmutlar, Kestel or Kargıcak. Avoid assigning a performance label to an entire neighbourhood.
| Comparison field | What to record |
|---|---|
| Identity and availability | Exact unit, listing date and latest seller confirmation |
| Area | Reported gross and net area, definitions and supporting measurement |
| Price | Asking currency, included items and date of confirmation |
| View | View from the actual unit's rooms and balcony |
| Access | Route to the entrance, slope, crossings, parking and lift access |
| Condition | Observed defects, technical findings and quoted work |
| Facilities | Private ownership or shared use, access conditions and charges |
Start your Ogenus comparison with Apartments for Sale in Oba and Apartments for Sale in Mahmutlar, then apply the same fields to any Kestel or Kargıcak candidates.
Investigate differences before ranking value
A lower price per square metre is not a useful comparison if one listing uses gross area and another uses net area. Recalculate only after establishing a consistent basis.
Visit the actual unit where possible. Photograph its view and check the approach at times relevant to your routine. Ask what supports any claim about future surroundings or access improvements; keep unverified proposals out of your valuation.
Request building accounts and planned-work information. Obtain technical advice where condition is uncertain. Age, insurance and permit paperwork should not be used as a safety rating.
Test price, currency and rent separately
Create downside, base and upside cases using assumptions you choose. Label them as scenarios, not forecasts. Change one input at a time before testing a combined adverse case.
For rental planning, distinguish marketed rent from documented money received. Request records of receipts, vacancy and expenses where available. Show gross receipts separately from net operating cash after the costs you include, with tax and financing treatment clearly identified. Have the intended rental use checked separately before relying on that income.
Write the purchase decision before paying
Summarise why the unit fits your needs, the evidence supporting its price and your maximum total budget. List unresolved availability, ownership, condition, operating-cost and intended-use questions, with a responsible person for each.
Before a reservation payment, put the relevant conditions and withdrawal terms in writing. A persuasive market story should not replace missing unit evidence.
