Alanya Municipality just posted numbers that should make every buyer pause for two seconds—then think for ten minutes.
According to published municipal figures shared in local reporting, construction permits increased from 877 (2023) to 3,168 (2024) and 4,296 (2025)—nearly five times more permits in two years. Municipal fee revenue reportedly rose from ₺23M to ₺100M and then ₺129M across the same period.
This is not a “fun statistic.” It’s a clue about where real estate in Alanya might get easier—and where it might get harder.
Here’s the data exactly as reported in local coverage of the municipality’s published figures:
Let’s say the quiet part out loud.
A permit jump of this size usually means a supply wave. And supply waves do two things at the same time:
When many similar units hit the market, sellers compete harder. That can cap price growth and increase discounting—especially for homes that don’t have a clear advantage (weak micro-location, generic layout, poor building reputation).
Prime units don’t multiply just because permits increase. The best micro-locations, strongest complexes, and most livable neighborhoods stay limited. In a crowded market, the best inventory often becomes more desirable because buyers get tired of sorting through copy-paste projects.
So the real story is not “boom is good” or “boom is bad.” The story is: the market will split harder.

If you’re browsing a property for sale in Alanya, this is where risk tends to concentrate during heavy construction cycles:
new and remote zones with lots of similar projects launching at once
units sold mainly on promises (“great potential,” “future value,” “next big area”)
projects with weak management (bad upkeep kills resale and rentals)
generic 1-bedroom stock where competition is the fiercest
In plain English: if your unit is easy to replace, it’s easy to pressure.
These factors usually protect pricing and resale liquidity:
established districts with year-round services and real daily-life convenience
a complex with a real reputation (clean common areas, security, predictable maintenance)
layouts people actually live in (not only what looks good in photos)
walkability + transport practicality (the kind of comfort renters and end-users pay for)
That’s why, in a busy market, smart buyers focus less on “brand new” and more on “hard to replicate.”
Fee revenue reportedly rose to ₺129M in 2025.
More revenue can support infrastructure and urban services—roads, neighborhood upgrades, capacity improvements. That’s positive.
But it’s not automatic. The buyer takeaway is simpler: the city’s growth is being monetized, and the municipality has more room to invest in upgrades that make certain areas more livable.

This is the moment when buyer strategy matters most.
If you buy a unit that’s one of a thousand identical options, you’ll fight price competition later. If you buy inventory that’s difficult to replicate—location quality, management, livability—you reduce that risk dramatically.
Alanya’s permit numbers show momentum, but they also signal competition.

Here’s the part most buyers miss: in a high-supply market, the worst mistake isn’t “buying late.” It’s buying replaceable.
When thousands of similar units compete, the market becomes brutal. The winners are simple: homes with proven micro-location, strong management, and a layout people actually want to live in. Everything else fights for attention with discounts.
So don’t chase the newest project. Chase the inventory that stays valuable even when the market gets crowded.
If you want, send us your budget + preferred district, and we’ll reply with a short “Hard-to-Replace” shortlist—properties that keep leverage when supply expands, not listings that look good only in a brochure.
