How should APN real estate data be read?
A number about property prices or demand is useful only when we know where it came from, which area and property type it covers, and when it was recorded. This page explains how to read APN data and the limitations to consider before buying, selling or analysing the market.
Current declared APN coverage in Alanya: Mahmutlar, Oba, Alanya Center, Kestel, Kargıcak, Tosmur and Tepe. Listing availability and viewing depend on registered inventory at the time of the request.
APN connects registered property files, buyer requirements and sales-path feedback. These data support better questions; they do not replace a current property valuation, official documents or a completed transaction.
Identify the data type before drawing conclusions
| Listing price | The seller's asking amount at the time of publication or edit. | The final transaction price or definitive property value. |
| Listing characteristics | Type, area, size, building age, amenities and declared condition. | Title-deed accuracy, construction quality or whether every service is active without verification. |
| Buyer request | Budget and preferences recorded in the conversation. | Total market demand or a guaranteed intention to buy. |
| Feedback and viewing | Reaction to a property and the follow-up stage. | A guaranteed transaction or a statistically representative sample of all buyers. |
What identity does every index need?
- Definition: what exactly is measured and in what unit?
- Source and method: registered listing, external advertisement or transaction data? How are duplicates handled?
- Date: when was it collected and last updated?
- Coverage: which city, area, property type and price range?
- Sample size and limitations: how many valid records remain and what data is unavailable?
A price-per-square-metre figure can mislead if the area definition and the mix of standard, luxury and super-luxury properties are unclear. A high-spec property may sit far above ordinary units in the same district; an average does not determine either property's value.
APN index status
The Alanya Area Index explains the methodology and the ten-year 2016–2025 transaction-volume index with its source and formula; this is not a property price index. The separate Price Index and Demand Index remain unavailable for numerical claims until their datasets and methods are complete.

How data helps property selection
First define the buyer's needs and budget. Then select verifiable listings with similar characteristics and compare price, area, age, developer quality, view, amenities and maintenance costs. Buyer feedback improves the next shortlist. For sellers, complete property data and a clear price date improve matching with relevant buyers.
When an external listing or report is used, its source and date should accompany the claim. Market data can change quickly, so final decisions should use fresh verification and property-document checks.

APN Intelligence

APN separates five questions: Market History tracks transaction-volume change; Area Index compares visible listing supply across 15 Alanya areas; Price Index publishes figures only when a verifiable price series exists; Demand Index requires documented buyer-demand data; Property Index evaluates an individual property. Listing count is not sales volume, asking price is not transaction price, and an unpublished index is never presented as fact.
