What price evidence should be collected for “same-micro-market price comparables” in Russian Buyers Istanbul?

Use genuinely comparable units and adjust measurable differences before accepting a premium or discount.

Calculate yield from realistic rent after vacancy, aidat, tax and operating costs rather than from headline rent.

Test door-to-door travel at the times that matter; distance alone does not measure practical accessibility.

Check the pipeline of competing units and delivery dates because new supply can change both pricing power and vacancy.
