The floor in Antalya, which was 600 thousand TL 3 years ago, exceeded 5 million
Sacittin Hancıoğlu, Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Antalya Chamber of Financial Advisors, drew attention to the recent increases in property prices and rents in Antalya in his press release.
hancioglu; “A floor that cost 600 thousand TL in the last 3 years has increased to more than 5 million. This also increases real estate prices. Housing has now become inaccessible to the people who live here, especially students. At this point, external and internal crises affect cities differently”.
‘IT HAS BEEN INACCESSIBLE TO THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE HERE’
Hancıoğlu said: “Our country receives a significant amount of emigration, especially due to conflicts in neighboring countries. At this point, external and internal crises affect cities differently”.
Hancıoğlu said: “Antalya, in particular, has been attractive on the one hand and has posed a very serious problem of access to housing for those who live here.”
“Of course, this increase is not just the minimum wage; Entrepreneurs, businesses, and even those making more than minimum wage were also curious. The rate was announced at 8,500 TL net. This corresponds to an increase of about 55 percent,” Hancıoğlu said, adding:
“Anyone who isn’t bad at math knows that the fact that other wages don’t rise as much means that wages converge to the minimum wage. Public employees rebelled against this situation and their demands for social participation were repeated.
‘A TRANSFORMATION MAY BE ON THE AGENDA IN ANTALYA’
Saying that the city received a lot of immigration, Hancıoğlu said, “The active and middle age group will of course try to hold on here. You can work the jobs you know or create your own business and create an opportunity for new industries to form. Economically, a transformation can come to the fore in Antalya. Such a transformation has already begun, ”he said.
Hancıoğlu said, “When we go to the Hurma-Sarısu regions, which are preferred by foreigners, we see many small businesses opening up.”
“We can observe different possibilities in subjects such as Software Engineering, Home Textiles or aesthetics.
So many incoming groups will work in one sector and will bring sectoral transformation.
RISK OF LOSS OF YOUNG POPULATION
If the local population cannot access housing in terms of access, habitability and quality of life; it also carries the risk of losing our current young population.
Increasing the quality of life of the people who live here and facilitating access to housing will also affect other sectors.
At the same time, you will be able to keep the young population here; we can become a more sustainable city this time in the future. Let’s grow with our differences without losing our own local culture and local people.”
