			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The stats alone are stunning. In <strong><a href="http://www.directoryeuro.com/" target="blank">Europe</a></strong>, the real estate economy grew by almost 1000 percent in just two decade? There are more businesses with their roots in Europe than any other country in the world&#8230;yes, we&#8217;ve not missed out the <strong><a href="http://www.clickstate.com/" target="blank">United States</a></strong>. It&#8217;s a well-known fact that when one invests in a business or property in Europe, it carries along with it high returns and comparatively low risks. The economy in Europe is known as one of the most stable in the world. This is particularly true when we talk about long-term European investment opportunities.</p>
<p>The continuous growth of the economy and the undying positivism that can be seen in the European market is a direct result of its respective governments. The real estate industry in Europe boomed at one point in time because there was a dramatic rise in the number of migrants moving from less developed countries to many parts of Europe creating a demand for land and property, jobs, products and services. Some countries in the European Union has more investment opportunities than others because it involves government policies and laws, nevertheless, the outlook of investment opportunities in Europe has never dropped to gray levels&#8230;not even during extremely difficult and trying times for other parts of the world.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The Real Estate Market in <a HREF="http://www.directoryeuro.com/">Europe</a> is changing. This change is driven by two forces outside of the Real Estate industry. The strength of these forces are so strong however, that their impact on the Real Estate Industry is unavoidable. These two forces are technology and consumer pressure. More precisely, the Internet and consumer protection through regulation. The aim of this report is to consider these two forces and how they affect the way real estate agents conduct business today and how in the future, agents can adjust their working practice to benefit from the changing face of the market.</p>
<p>Most people have some experience of the internet. Surfing the web now competes with television in terms of number of hours spent each day. As it applies to a Real Estate business the internet is starting to become more and more important. A website is seen almost as a necessity today, although for reasons I will explain, the effectiveness of over 95% of individual company websites as a means of attracting clients is negligible or completely non-existent. Most traffic these websites receive comes via another form of advertising, be it newspapers, business cards or as a point of reference after initial contact has already been made with a potential client. This said, it is expected that within 5 years, 80% of all property transactions will be initiated through contact via the internet.</p>

<p>In general, properties in Turkey are Freehold type and not Leasehold. Property prices have steadily been increasing. Real Estate in Turkey can be found from €30.000 up to a couple of hundred thousand Euros.
