What to inspect
Liquidity is not price appreciation
Read the market through transactions
What narrows the buyer pool?
Resale-buyer-pool analysis should not rely on an average asking price alone. Segment likely buyers by use and financing: owner-occupiers, rental investors, cash buyers, financed buyers and, where relevant, foreign purchasers. Then compare actual transactions for similar units, marketing time and the gap between asking and achieved prices. A property can show a strong projected yield yet remain difficult to resell if its size, price band, title characteristics or operating costs make it suitable for only a narrow group of future buyers.
Measure the buyer pool instead of calling a property “easy to resell”
The potential buyer pool changes with price, unit size, title status and the amount of financing required. A smaller unit at a mid-market entry price may appeal to both an owner-occupier and an investor, while a high-ticket or unusually configured property can depend on a much narrower segment even when its rental yield looks attractive. Segment the exit market explicitly: owner-occupier, cash investor, financed buyer, foreign buyer subject to applicable rules, or buyer seeking a rent-ready unit. Those groups should not be collapsed into one unsupported liquidity score.
TÜİK housing-sales data distinguish first sales from second-hand sales and mortgaged transactions from other sales, which helps describe broad market liquidity but does not prove that a particular unit will sell quickly. The CBRT House Price Index tracks price change over time; it does not measure the number of willing buyers for one apartment. Use those official series as market context, then test the asset itself: competing units, evidence of transacted or realistically negotiable prices, listing exposure, down-payment requirements, monthly common charges, title status and flexibility of use.
Exit analysis should also record features that shrink the pool: a price materially above substitutes, high running charges, difficult financing, use restrictions, an impractical layout or a large renovation requirement. A robust scenario does not assume the perfect buyer appears; it asks how many distinct buyer types can actually acquire the unit and what discount or marketing time may be needed if one segment disappears.
Practical closure test for Resale Buyer Pool Analysis
Before relying on “Resale Buyer Pool Analysis”, make the file answer the topic-specific objective in operational terms: build a clear, evidence-based answer to the topic itself. The evidence should identify the exact asset or transaction, show when the fact was checked, and distinguish a current verified fact from an assumption carried forward from an earlier stage.
For “Resale Buyer Pool Analysis”, use TKGM — Tapu ve Kadastro Genel Müdürlüğü (https://www.tkgm.gov.tr/anasayfa) as one of the reference points already attached to the record. Confirm the scope of that source and keep any complementary registry, contract, engineering, tax, insurance or payment evidence separate so that one document is not asked to prove a fact outside its function.
A useful closure note for “Resale Buyer Pool Analysis” should state what changed during the review, what remained unchanged, which discrepancy was resolved, and which residual issue—if any—was consciously accepted. If later resale, financing or dispute review would require the same evidence, preserve the controlling version and its retrieval date rather than only a narrative conclusion.
