A three-room apartment in south Tel Aviv, measuring 65 square meters with three small balconies, was recently sold for 1.98 million shekels (approximately $535,000 USD), demonstrating that properties under 2 million shekels can still be found in the city. The apartment, located on Mikra Kodesh Street in the Neve Ofir neighborhood, is part of a "pinui binui" (demolition and reconstruction) project by developer Rotem Shani, where some residents are selling their units before demolition.
While this particular unit is described as small and crowded, its sale price offers an opportunity for buyers to potentially receive a larger apartment in the future. Real estate agents suggest it could be suitable for a young couple without children. This sale stands in contrast to many other recent transactions in Tel Aviv, where prices per square meter have reached between 64,000 and 65,000 shekels, even for smaller apartments.
Examples of higher-priced sales include a 70-square-meter, two-room apartment on Ramaz Street for 4.56 million shekels, and a 97-square-meter, three-room unit on Kikar HaMedina for 6.3 million shekels. These luxury properties are seen as major drivers of Tel Aviv's high real estate values. Other sales in Tel Aviv this week ranged from 3 million to 3.52 million shekels for three-room apartments.
The article also lists several recent sales in Bat Yam, with three-room apartments selling for between 1.48 million and 1.9 million shekels. In Rehovot, a five-room apartment sold for 3.6 million shekels, and a four-room apartment sold for 2.5 million shekels. A private house in Holon was sold for 5.355 million shekels.
