The city of Holon is undergoing significant urban renewal, described as a period of "digging, destruction, and breakage." Despite the current disruption, the outlook for the city's future development remains optimistic and curious. The article touches upon the broader real estate market, questioning the common belief that purchasing an apartment was once easier, noting that a rare apartment in the heart of Jerusalem was sold for NIS 3.4 million. Discount campaigns are proving ineffective, leading to a drop in apartment sales and a growing inventory. In contrast, one community is highlighted for its desire for separation from the city, stating that apartments there are "snapped up."
