Turkey 500k Social Housing Lottery

Entities: Turkish Civil Code · Republic of Turkey · Turkish Statistical Institute (TÜİK) · Eskişehir

Overview

In late July 2026 Turkey’s Ministry of Environment, Urbanisation and Climate Change continued the rollout of its 500,000‑unit social‑housing programme. On 24 July a public draw in Malatya allocated 8,448 households to new 3+1 apartments built by the state agency TOKİ, with contract signing slated between early August and late October. Buyers will make a 10 % down‑payment and finance the balance over 240 monthly installments, with unit prices ranging from 1.8 million TL to 2.65 million TL.

A few days later, officials confirmed the same lottery numbers and noted that the allocation forms part of a broader 525 billion‑lira investment that also includes a wastewater‑treatment plant and the restoration of the historic Bakırcılar Bazaar. The announcement also set the date for publishing Eskişehir’s legal rent‑increase ceiling (3 August 2026), tying the increase to the July CPI average of 32.03 %.

The government will announce the nationwide legal ceiling for rent increases in August, basing it on the 12‑month CPI average released by TÜİK on 3 August. The figure will apply to all residential and commercial leases renewed after that date, providing certainty for tenants and landlords amid high inflation. A recent Central Bank survey showing a slight dip in inflation expectations underlines the state’s effort to stabilise the housing market while the social‑housing programme proceeds.
