The Price on the Internet Is Not the Real Value!” — 39. A Precedent-Setting Decision from the Legal Department What is the correct method for determining the immovable value? Is it market conditions, internet postings or expert evaluation? These questions come across as an issue that has been discussed for a long time in the real estate world and has caused grievances from time to time with improper practices. However, 39. The decision of the Law Office numbered 2025/985 and based on 2023/2346 established a clear and undisputed case law on this issue. In the decision, the use of internet sales ads as a basis was sharply criticized in the expert report prepared for an immovable property that has the nature of a plot. Dec. The apartment is located in Section 11 of the Expropriation Law. referring to the article, he clearly emphasized that “precedent sales without special purpose” should be taken as a basis. “Since it is an immovable land, Dec. 11 of the Expropriation Law. article 1. in accordance with paragraph (g), although it is mandatory to calculate the price according to precedent sales that do not have a specific purpose before the evaluation day, it is not correct to issue a report based on Internet sales announcements.” This sentence not only provides a legal justification; it also says “stop” out loud to a mistake that has been going on in the industry for years. Ads Cannot Determine the True Value Internet ads carry marketing purposes. The prices contained in these ads reflect the seller's expectations, the investor's demand or the orientation of the advertising platforms. However, none of these figures are actual sales data. It is just the ”requested price". Some ads are exaggerated, some contain a bargaining chip, and some are the product of a dream that has not yet been sold. Therefore, determining the immovable property value by taking Internet ads as a reference; both the buyer, the seller, and the public have deceptive results. What Does the Judiciary Say, What Do We Do? As CEESS Global, we have been conducting our valuation studies in the sector for a long time only with “precedents taken from real sales that have no special purpose”. Because we know that the value of a real estate depends on many parameters such as regional fair values, zoning status, location and ease of transportation. Without analyzing these data, determining a price only with an advertisement link is contrary to real estate expertise and the legal system. This decision of the Supreme Court has also established our approach on a legal basis. Now we clearly know that; The appraiser is not an ad site browser. Real value comes from realized sales. In public transactions, official precedents are taken as the basis, not arbitrary pricing. For Whom Is It a Warning? This decision does not only involve experts or courts. In the same time: Investors who make land and land sales Dec Buyers who make decisions by conducting price research on the Internet The rights holders who have been victimized by faulty expertise It also directly concerns real estate consultants. Each value is measured by an expert hand. Not every advertised price is worth it. Not every consultant is an expert either. What Does CEESS Global Offer?
