What a buyer pays in Mersin (province)
The $739 figure is a regional average across all residential property types, which flattens a wide spread — the most sought-after areas run well above it, the rest of the region well below. Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 8.7% of the price here. On a 100 m² apartment at the average price that is roughly $6,429 on top of the $73,900 purchase price. That is below the 10.2% median across the set, which shortens the time it takes for a purchase to break even.
What it earns
A square metre lets for about $4.6 a month. Against a purchase price of $739 per square metre that is 7.5% gross, before tax. Both figures come from the same source and the same period, so you can check the arithmetic yourself. It ranks 14th of 88 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 14–22.8% — the rate is not a single number here. That is the difference between 5.8% and 6.4% net on the same property. The 6.1% net figure we publish uses 18.4%.
Who can buy in Mersin (province)
Full ownership; reciprocity and military-zone check. That is the rule a foreign buyer meets first, not legal advice — check the current position locally before you commit.
