Asfor Kartal Prices and Details 2026
Karlıktepe, Kartal, Istanbul
Asfor Kartal has one apartment for sale that we could find in October 2026: a 175 m² 3+1 on the 14th floor with sea and Princes' Islands views, asking 14,900,000 TL, or about $300,000 (three hundred thousand dollars). That works out to roughly $1,700 (one thousand seven hundred dollars) per square metre. The project is a single 25-storey tower on Yıldız Caddesi in Karlıktepe, Kartal, built by Avva Yapı (Avva İnşaat) on a plot of about 3,000 m². It holds 77 (seventy-seven) apartments with retail space on the ground floor. The building was handed over in 2018 and the developer has sold out, so flats now change hands only on the resale market. The upper floors look over the Sea of Marmara and the islands, and the M4 metro line is about 1 km away. Property Time Istanbul's office is at Skyland in Sarıyer, and every legal step of the purchase is handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.

How much do apartments for sale in Asfor Kartal cost?
The only listing we could find in Asfor Kartal on 27 October 2026 is a 175 m² 3+1 on the 14th floor asking 14,900,000 TL, or about $300,000 (three hundred thousand dollars). That is roughly 85,000 TL or $1,700 (one thousand seven hundred dollars) per square metre, in line with the 86,280 TL average emlakjet gives for Karlıktepe. There are no current listings for 1+1, 2+1 or 4+1 flats, so prices are on request. Past figures for context: at the January 2017 launch, 1+1 flats sold for 366,000 – 440,000 TL; a late-2021 portfolio presentation listed a 1+1 (83 m²) at $141,100, a 2+1 (132 m²) at $200,000, a 3+1 (170 m²) at $274,000 and a 318 m² 4+1 at $717,000. These figures do not reflect today's market.

How does buying in Asfor Kartal work?
As the project is completed, sales are resales: a contract is signed with a deposit and the balance is paid at the land registry together with the title transfer. During this process, the title deed, mortgage and lien check, review of the sale contract and the transfer are handled by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu. Buyers who cannot travel to Turkey can complete the title transfer by power of attorney.
How do foreigners buy property in Asfor Kartal?
A foreign buyer first obtains a Turkish tax number and opens a Turkish bank account; then the title deed and encumbrance check, valuation report and contract are completed and the title is transferred. The land registry also confirms that the property can be sold to a foreigner. Every step is followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, who works on property purchases by foreigners.
What needs to be done after the title transfer?
After the transfer, the electricity, water and gas subscriptions are opened in the new owner's name, the owner is registered with building management and a property tax return is filed with the municipality. If a citizenship application will be made, the payment documents and the title deed annotation are added to the file at this stage.
How much are apartments for rent in Asfor Kartal?
We could not find a live rental listing for Asfor Kartal on 27 October 2026, so we cannot give a current rent for the project. For comparison, on the same day RE/MAX's Karlıktepe portfolio had sea-view 2+1 flats at 70,000 TL a month (about $1,400) and a furnished 180 m² 3+1 at 110,000 TL (about $2,200). These listings are in other buildings, so they are not a direct benchmark for Asfor Kartal.

What is the rental yield in Asfor Kartal?
The rental yield for Asfor Kartal cannot be calculated at the moment, because there is no verified sale and rent pair for the same unit type in the project. Once a concrete rent offer is available, the gross yield is the annual rent divided by the sale price.
Can units in Asfor Kartal be rented short term?
Under the rules in force since 2024, short-term rental requires a permit from the Ministry of Culture and Tourism and the unanimous consent of the other owners in a condominium building. In projects with many units this consent is hard to obtain in practice, so investment returns should be calculated on long-term rent.
What are the service charges and buying costs at Asfor Kartal?
Service charges at Asfor Kartal are set by building management according to the apartment's size and the compound's services. We obtain the current service charge for the apartment you are considering in writing from management and share it before purchase. The main buying costs on top of the price are:
By law, buyer and seller pay 2% each; the parties may agree otherwise.
A fixed fee charged for the title deed transaction.
Compulsory earthquake insurance taken out before the transfer.
Licensed valuation; compulsory for purchases by foreigners.
Present at the land registry for buyers who do not speak Turkish.
By Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu, from contract to title deed.
Fee rates may change with legislation; you can request the exact breakdown in writing before purchase. For new-build purchases, whether VAT is included in the price is also checked.
Can you get Turkish citizenship by buying in Asfor Kartal?
A home or office worth at least $400,000 (four hundred thousand dollars) qualifies for Turkish citizenship by investment; the threshold can also be reached with more than one property.
The single priced listing in Asfor Kartal, a 175 m² 3+1 at about $300,000, falls below the $400,000 threshold, and the 1+1 and 2+1 flats do not reach it either. The unit type most likely to clear the threshold on its own is a large 4+1, but there are no current prices for these. The figure that counts in the application is the value in a licensed valuation report; for a resale flat you should also check whether it has already been used in a citizenship application.
- The value is determined by a licensed valuation report.
- A no-sale annotation of at least 3 (three) years is placed on the title deed.
- Payment is made in foreign currency and documented through a Turkish bank.
- The application file is prepared and followed by Att. Egemen Yasin Şahalioğlu.
Legislation may change; current requirements are confirmed with the lawyer before applying.

Is Asfor Kartal a good investment?
Asfor Kartal is worth a look if you want a flat in a finished tower on the Asian side with sea views, close to the metro and Sabiha Gökçen; but with so few listings on the market, any investment case has to be built on a concrete offer. The price per square metre in the one listing is in line with the neighbourhood average, so buyers are not being asked a clear premium for the views and amenities.
- About 1 km to the M4 metro and D-100
- Sea and islands views from the upper floors
- Completed building, no construction risk
- 3-metre ceilings and an indoor pool
- Very few listings, no current price list
- No rental data, so yield cannot be calculated
- Sources disagree on sizes and completion date
- Kartal is in a high earthquake-risk zone; a building survey matters
Before buying, the title deed record, occupancy permit, condominium status and any mortgages or annotations should be checked as part of the title deed check; a valuation report should be ordered to see whether the price reflects real value, and the terms should be reviewed by a lawyer at the sales contract stage.
