The latest economic indicators show that the prices will increase, but since the exchange rate increases with the prices, buying real estate with foreign currency will make you save a lot of money. For example, even in 2019 and 2020, which passed in the shadow of COVID-19, there was a tremendous increase in real estate sales. According to the data in 2020, 1,393,000 houses were sold during the year.

It is estimated that there will be certain increases in prices due to the increase in construction costs for 2021 and the following years.
