Apartment Prices

Yad2 data reveals that 16 out of 20 city and apartment size comparisons recorded a price drop per square meter over the past year, signaling a broader housing market correction.

Apartment prices in Israel show continued stability despite a deep freeze in real estate transactions. A recent market review details actual second-hand property sales across Beersheba, Bat Yam, Ramat Gan, and other cities.

Finding real estate under 1.5 million shekels in the center of the country is extremely difficult, but deals on apartments without a MAMAD (protected space) remain an affordable option. In Holon, a 3-room apartment was sold for 1.42 million shekels, while prices in Be'er Sheva are significantly lower.

A couple who bought an apartment on Dizengoff Street waited 4 years only to discover that the apartment's price had dropped significantly. On the other hand, those who held an apartment in Tel Aviv for a long period earned over 10% per year.

Also: how much was a 2.5-room apartment sold for in Bat Yam and how much was paid for a 4-room apartment in Kiryat Gat? Making a deal.

In the car market, lots are cleared with 20% discounts, but in real estate, tens of thousands of apartments are unsold and the price barely moves. From the "zero report" to the fear of a "domino effect": the real reason contractors prefer to absorb huge interest rates rather than lower the price.

A new review by real estate appraiser Ohad Danus for the second quarter of 2026 reveals a recovery in housing prices, with increases in 8 out of 17 cities examined. Where are prices falling and what is driving this trend?

An analysis of apartment indices in the second quarter of 2026 shows that the middle class currently prefers not to buy an apartment, and that renters are turning to rent cheaper and lower-quality apartments. The average price for an apartment purchased during the quarter reached 2.435 million shekels - an all-time high.

Despite the uncertainty in the economy and the still-high interest rates, real estate deals continue to be signed across the country. These are the prices buyers paid this week — from Haifa to Beersheba.

And also: how much did a 5-room apartment in Beersheba cost, how much was a 4-room apartment sold for in the center of Netanya, and for what amount was a 5-room apartment purchased in Haifa? A review of second-hand transactions.

A CBS survey indicates a sharp decline in the share of households planning to purchase an apartment – from 8% to 3.6%. According to the director of the housing indices department at the bureau, the data reflects a slowdown in the market.
