In the real estate world, the price per square meter is often one of the first metrics that buyers and investors analyze. However, basing a decision solely on this indicator can lead to incomplete conclusions and even unprofitable investments.
Although it is a useful benchmark for comparing properties, the actual value of a real estate asset depends on many factors that go far beyond the cost per square meter.
Factors That Truly Determine the Value of an Investment
1. Strategic Location
Location remains the most decisive factor in real estate. A square meter in an area with high demand, good connectivity, and development is not the same as one in an area with limited growth potential.

2. Market Demand
Market conditions directly affect profitability. A property in high demand can generate steady income, regardless of its initial price.

Not all properties serve the same purpose. Their value varies depending on whether they are intended for:
- Investment for Rental Purposes
- Commercial use
- Future Development

4. Potential for value creation
