Kiryat Ata Semi-Detached Home Sells for NIS 2.45 Million

The story · English

A two-family home in Kiryat Ata, located on Ha'eshel Street in the Giv'at Ram neighborhood, has been sold for 2.45 million shekels. The property features 5 rooms, a built area of 140 square meters spread over two levels, and sits on a 260 square meter lot. It includes two yards totaling approximately 160 square meters, a master suite with a balcony, parking, and storage, and offers an open view. Built in 1997, the house requires renovation.

The property was initially listed for 2.65 million shekels and remained on the market for about six weeks. The sellers were downsizing to a single-level apartment, and the buyers are a local family from the same neighborhood. The real estate agent, Liron Ish-Lev from RE/MAX Family Kiryat Motzkin, noted that while the sellers initially aimed for a higher price, she advised a more realistic valuation based on the current market. She facilitated the quick sale due to the sellers' motivation.

The buyers, who originally intended to renovate their existing home on the same street, decided to purchase this property after seeing the sale sign. Despite initial hesitation due to needing to sell their current home, Ish-Lev also took on that listing and managed to sell it about a month later, after the buyers had already secured the new property. The buyers recognized the home's potential, particularly its view, and plan to renovate it into their dream home.

Ish-Lev commented on the current market, stating there's a pause but expressing hope for improvement after the holidays. She described the present market as favorable for buyers, presenting opportunities for those who act wisely. The article also lists several other recent property sales across Israel, including apartments in Jerusalem, Or Yehuda, Nof HaGalil, Ra'anana, and Tirat Carmel, with prices ranging from 850,000 to 4.15 million shekels.
