What is driving Iranian demand for Istanbul

- Purchasing power: a broad, mid-tier demand base with steady conversion potential.
- Demand model: Iran ranks #2 for Istanbul in PropScient's modelled prospect-demand estimate.
Messaging angles that resonate with Iranian buyers
- Lead with regional reach: close enough for regular visits, far enough to genuinely diversify.
- Stability sells: position property as a hard-asset, hard-currency store of value, not a speculative play.

Frequently asked questions
How strong is Iranian demand for Istanbul property?

What makes Istanbul a natural demand corridor for Iranian?
Proximity and regional ties create a steady corridor into Istanbul, which PropScient captures in its modelled demand read.

Campaigns reaching Iranian buyers typically run in Persian (Farsi). Measuring demand in the buyer's own language matters too — English-only measurement under-reads several major markets, which PropScient corrects for in its native-language demand lanes.
