What does this data mean for an investor?
The TR63 region's house price rise (22.1%) is 0.9 points below the national average and mid-table among the 20 regions (lowest 13.0%, highest 27.0%). Prices around Hatay are therefore rising more slowly than in metropolises such as İstanbul (26.3%). The rent index rose 26.4%, 4.3 points more than the price index, which may point to a rising rent-to-price ratio (interpretation, since indices show change, not level).
Nationally, the price rise corresponds to a 6.5% real decline: the nominal rise stayed below inflation. The bulletin gives no regional real change for TR63, but since its nominal rise (22.1%) is below the national one, the real loss there may be larger (interpretation). What it means for an investor: a plan that treats housing as a store of value should look at this indicator together with rental yield; a nominal rise alone is not evidence of return.
Limitation: The indices refer to the Hatay–Kahramanmaraş–Osmaniye region (TR63), not to Hatay alone; no Hatay-only value is published. The indices (2023=100) give neither a price per m² nor a rent amount, only change. By the CBRT's method, house values come from valuation reports prepared for loan applications (a completed sale is not required) and quality effects are removed by hedonic regression. The bulletin address is updated each month; the August 2026 issue is used here.
