In which countries can you buy real estate with cryptocurrency

Forward-thinking investors are interested in the question: in which countries can you buy real estate with cryptocurrency?

Currently, many states still prohibit or do not officially allow the use of virtual money. For example, such bans apply in China, Egypt, Morocco, Algeria and other countries.

Nevertheless, there are enough countries in the world where governments are loyal to the purchase of real estate for cryptocurrency.

The most popular of them:

  • Malta;
  • Thailand;
  • Salvador;
  • Singapore;
  • Germany;
  • Georgia;
  • Montenegro;
  • Canada;
  • Portugal;
  • Republic of Turkey;
  • United Arab Emirates;
  • Salvador and others

Thailand — one of the first powers to legalize crypto. The national cryptocurrency market of the UAE is actively gaining momentum today and allows you to conduct a successful business. In Germany, all transactions with crypto are legalized, so you can buy a home by making a transfer from the buyer’s crypto wallet to the seller’s crypto wallet. In Turkey, according to statistics, more than 8,000,000 local citizens use digital currencies, and due to the devaluation of the Turkish lira, the number of virtual money holders is growing. Against this background, many real estate agencies accept crypto payments. In addition, using tokens, buyers can still obtain a Turkish residence permit and citizenship by investment.

Stages of buying real estate with cryptocurrency

Buying an apartment with cryptocurrency in Turkey is quite simple. By and large, the procedure is no different from purchasing a home with fiat money. The main difference is that before the TAPU is reissued, the investor needs to send tokens to the account of a real estate agency, which will exchange them for national currency.

Let's take a closer look at the stages of purchasing housing in Turkey using electronic money:

Selecting an object

The housing market of the Republic of Turkey offers investors from abroad a huge selection of properties with any characteristics. Among the presented options, each buyer will be able to choose the one most suitable for their investment goals and budget.

Negotiations on the terms of the purchase and sale transaction and method of payment

If you purchase real estate with the support of a real estate company, it is not at all necessary to inform the seller about the use of virtual money for payment. The thing is that in the end the seller will receive real currency in his hands, since the real estate agency will convert the crypto using its crypto wallet.

Payment with cryptocurrency

After the buyer communicates his desire to purchase an apartment in Turkey for bitcoins or other cryptocurrencies, agency employees will request documents to identify the client. Once the data has been confirmed, you will be able to transfer tokens from your crypto wallet to the company’s crypto wallet on one of the popular international digital Internet platforms.

Note: most often in Turkey, when carrying out a purchase and sale transaction, the following types of crypt are used in the following percentage ratio:

  • Bitcoin — 60%;
  • USDT/USDC — 20%;
  • Ethereum — 10%.

Money exchange

As soon as the funds fall into the account, agency staff will convert the transferred virtual currency units into fiat money in accordance with the market price. The date of the procedure and the exchange rate are agreed upon with the buyer in advance.

Receipt of real money by the seller and re-registration of TAPU

After all financial transactions have been completed and the seller has received the agreed amount for the object, the procedure for issuing a certificate of ownership for the new owner begins. On the appointed day, both parties to the transaction, together with a translator and a representative of the real estate company, meet at the Cadastral Chamber, where the signing of the main documents and the re-registration of TAPU takes place. After receiving a Turkish title, you become the full owner of Turkish real estate.

Real estate in Turkey for cryptocurrency

Pros and cons of buying real estate in Turkey with crypto

Buying a home in Turkey with cryptocurrency has a number of advantages and features.

Advantages:

  1. Protection of funds from devaluation if the financial market collapses. Over the years, real estate has remained one of the most reliable assets. At the same time, the rate of tokens does not depend on political and financial crises in countries and is not tied to fluctuations in world currencies.
  2. Simplicity and speed of operation. A purchase and sale transaction does not imply the transfer of funds from one bank to another, which means the procedure goes very quickly. In addition, when purchasing Turkish apartments for crypto, the buyer will need fewer documents than in a regular transaction.
  3. The ability to easily withdraw the required amount abroad. Electronic money — a decentralized currency, that is, it is not controlled by anyone. Therefore, owners of virtual wallets can credit and transfer any amount necessary to purchase property abroad, in contrast to customs restrictions when crossing the border with cash or bureaucratic delays when transferring funds through a bank.
  4. High confidentiality. The parties to the transaction remain hidden from banking institutions and government control authorities, since the cryptocurrency market is completely independent.
  5. Cost minimization. The interest rate for the transfer and conversion of funds is minimal compared to traditional SWIFT transfers.

Disadvantages of purchasing real estate in Turkey with crypto:

  1. High volatility. Investors should also take into account the fact that the exchange rate of Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies, despite the rapid growth in popularity, is quite unstable. It is important to approach the purchase procedure wisely so as not to pay more for an apartment than you planned.
  2. Search for a seller. Not all private sellers are yet ready to sell their property for tokens. Nevertheless, more and more real estate agencies provide their services to everyone who wants to buy apartments for cryptocurrency, and the number of such companies is increasing.
