The Destination of the Foreign Exchange Movement Will Be Luxury Housing

Evaluating the developments in the real estate market after the volatility in the foreign exchange market, Nevita Chairman of the Board Faruk Akbal said, “There is no logical explanation for the manipulative movement in the foreign exchange market. This foam in the exchange rates will create a new buying appetite in the real estate sector. For this reason, we expect a new and active period in housing sales with the stabilization of the exchange rates.”
