The Israeli real estate market is experiencing an increase in new apartment sales, but experts caution against declaring a full recovery. While sales figures are up, the inventory of unsold homes continues to grow. A significant portion of the current transactions are reportedly driven by subsidies and financing incentives, suggesting that the market's apparent growth may not reflect organic demand.
Legal expert Ofir Cohen Konyuk, founder and owner of Cohen Konyuk & Co., and Gili Peleglin Brands, VP of Urban Renewal at Tzemach Tzemach, have analyzed the latest data. They emphasize that it is premature to conclude that the real estate market has returned to robust growth.
Their analysis points to the substantial unsold inventory and the reliance on financial incentives as key indicators that the market's recovery is not yet firmly established. The underlying economic conditions and consumer confidence will be crucial factors in determining the true trajectory of the real estate sector in the coming months.
