Why Are the Square-Metre Prices of Fields Under 1 Donum Expensive?

Investment · 20 June 2026 · 4 min read

Why are the square-metre prices of fields under 1 donum expensive? The answer is actually very simple: it is entirely a matter of supply and demand. There are two important factors affecting this situation:

  • The scarcity of fields under 1 donum for sale in the region,
  • The intense demand for fields under 1 donum.

These two situations cause square-metre prices to remain high.

The Reasons for the Demand for Fields Under 1 Donum

Budget and Need

For buyers who want to set up a container, tiny house, prefabricated house or a hobby garden, 1 donum offers quite a sufficient area. In addition, buyers with a limited budget naturally turn to smaller fields. Let us explain with an example:

  • A 750 m² field: When the square-metre price is approximately TRY 1,000, the total price becomes TRY 750,000.
  • A 1,700 m² field: When the square-metre price is in the TRY 600-700 band, the total price is around TRY 1,100,000.

Buyers with a limited total budget turn to the small parcel, which is more accessible overall even though its square-metre price is higher.

Situation Analysis with Statistics

At the time this article was published (November 2024), when we looked at the sahibinden.com listing data in the region we work in, the picture was as follows:

  • For-sale field listings over 1,000 m² with an independent title deed: 284
  • Fields over 1,000 m² with an independent title deed and a per-m² price under TRY 1,000: 159
  • For-sale fields smaller than 1 donum with an independent title deed: 114
  • Fields smaller than 1 donum with an independent title deed and a per-m² price under TRY 1,000: only 28

These data show that the prices of fields under 1 donum are rising rapidly due to their scarcity and high demand. As the number of fields for sale decreases, square-metre prices will continue to climb.

Other Factors Determining the Price

The price of a field does not depend only on its size. The following factors also affect the price:

  • The shape (frontage) of the field,
  • Its distance to the road, electricity and the edges of the development area,
  • Soil structure and slope,
  • Its location and view.

For this reason, we recommend that you definitely get support from an authorised real estate consultant when buying a field. The choice between a small parcel and a large parcel varies according to your intended use, your budget and the value appreciation you expect. A small parcel is fast and liquid; a large parcel, on the other hand, is cheaper per square metre and has a higher total return potential over the long term.
