Summary

The short version

Alanya Realty's late-August 2026 data puts Kargıcak's average asking price at TRY 72,777/m² (+32.0% year on year), against TRY 60,673/m² for Alanya (S1).

No source publishes a rental yield for Kargıcak specifically. The only sourced yields are Alanya-wide gross long-term figures: about 6.06% for 1-bed, 5.0% for 2-bed, 4.06% for 3-bed and 4.67% for 4+ bed (S6). Some brokers advertise much higher figures (for example 8–10% in Mahmutlar and Oba, S8), which we treat as unverified.

Best suited to capital-preservation and holiday-home buyers rather than yield-maximisers.
Weighing it up

What drives demand here

Working in Kargıcak's favour

  • Strong asking-price growth of +32.0%, partly a mix effect (S1)
  • Villas and sea-view penthouses attract holiday-home buyers
  • Shortest official distance to Gazipaşa-Alanya Airport of the districts covered here (25 km, S2)

Worth factoring in

  • High entry prices mean lower percentage yields than cheaper districts
  • Narrower buyer pool for premium villas; longer marketing time (S1)
  • Car dependence and hillside access
  • Alanya-wide short-term data is weak (S7)
The arithmetic

What a gross yield could look like

Illustrative unitAsking price at district averageGross yield assumedImplied gross rent

Illustrative arithmetic only: unit sizes are typical listing sizes (L1); yields are Alanya-wide gross long-term averages by bedroom count (S6), not district data; price = size × district average asking price (S1). Gross means before maintenance fees, property tax, insurance, vacancy, agent fees and income tax. Not a forecast.

FAQ

Investing in Kargıcak: frequently asked questions

What rental yield can I expect in Kargıcak?

No district-level yield is published. On expensive stock, a given rent produces a lower percentage yield; Alanya-wide gross long-term yields are about 4–6% (S6). Test with actual rents for comparable units.

Can a Kargıcak villa earn well as a holiday rental?

Villas with pools are widely listed on holiday platforms, but Alanya-wide short-term data was weak in May 2026 (S7). Running costs for pool and garden are also higher.

Is the 32% growth a good reason to invest?

Not on its own. The district average is lifted by luxury stock, and asking prices are not completed-sale prices (S1).

What is the exit risk in Kargıcak?

Premium properties have a narrower buyer pool and can take longer to sell (S1). Price realistically and keep documents complete.

What are property prices in Kargıcak?

Alanya Realty's late-August 2026 data puts Kargıcak's average asking price at TRY 72,777/m² (+32.0% year on year), against TRY 60,673/m² for Alanya (S1).

How is gross rental yield calculated?

Gross yield = annual rent ÷ purchase price × 100. For example, TRY 200,000 of annual rent on a TRY 4,000,000 apartment is a 5% gross yield. Net yield deducts running costs, taxes and vacancy, so it is always lower.

Which costs reduce net yield in Turkey?

Monthly building maintenance fees, annual property tax (emlak vergisi), mandatory DASK earthquake insurance, agent or management fees, periods without a tenant, repairs and furnishing, and income tax on rent where applicable. See the property-taxes and cost-of-buying guides and ask a licensed accountant about your situation.

How risky is short-term rental in Alanya right now?

A May 2026 snapshot of Alanya's short-term market found an estimated average of TRY 265,000 per year at about 19% occupancy across 818 active listings (down 54% year on year); top performers reached about TRY 836,000 and the bottom about TRY 57,000 (S7). Results vary hugely by property and management.

How do I check real rents in Kargıcak before buying?

Collect current rental listings for the same building or similar complexes, ask two or three local agents for recent lettings, and ask the seller for tenancy history. Yields quoted in marketing are usually gross and optimistic; use your own numbers.

Should I invest in Kargıcak or in Mahmutlar?

They suit different strategies. See the Kargıcak and Mahmutlar hub pages for prices and character, and compare like-for-like buildings. Price per m² alone does not decide the better yield or exit.

Can foreigners buy to let in Alanya?

Yes, under Turkey's general rules for foreign buyers; foreign buyers accounted for about 26.3% of Alanya's 2025 residential sales (S1). Rental income is generally taxable, so check your obligations with a licensed adviser.

Investing in Kargıcak: purpose before property

Choose a strategy

Open space and views may appeal to holiday-home buyers; inspect the outlook and neighbouring plots. Personal use, long-term rent, seasonal use and resale require different criteria. Define holding period, budget and risk.

Model the net outcome

Check dated comparable rents, vacancy, management, building fees, repairs, insurance, taxes and transaction costs. Gross yields and past asking-price changes do not guarantee returns.

Inspect the actual asset

Villas, penthouses and apartments have very different land, privacy and maintenance profiles. Micro-location, documents, construction and competing supply affect rent and resale. Compare two or three similar options under a cautious case.

Important legal note on short-term rentals

Under Türkiye’s Law No. 7464 and related rules, renting a residence under a single contract for 100 days or less falls within tourism-purpose rental rules and requires a Turizm Amaçlı Kiralama İzin Belgesi before the contract is made. Additional conditions and exceptions may apply depending on the building and property type. Listings must also display the permit and property information required by the rules. Before buying or advertising a property for short-term rental, verify the specific property and current requirements with the Ministry of Culture and Tourism or the relevant Provincial Directorate.
