Israeli Real Estate Sales Show Wide Price Gaps With 3-Room Apartment Sold for 525,000 Shekels

Translated & summarized from Maariv by baba
The story · English

Despite ongoing economic uncertainty and high interest rates, real estate transactions continue across Israel, with significant price disparities between regions. In Haifa, a 43-square-meter three-room apartment on the second floor sold for 720,000 shekels, while a larger 60-square-meter unit on the 12th floor went for 1.25 million shekels.

In Ramla, a five-room apartment with 140 square meters and a 20-square-meter balcony sold for 2.235 million shekels. In Rishon Lezion, prices are higher, with a six-room penthouse of approximately 160 square meters selling for 2.61 million shekels. Other three-room apartments in Rishon Lezion sold for between 2.25 and 2.3 million shekels, featuring amenities such as elevators, parking, and secure rooms.

In Beersheba, a four-room apartment of 120 square meters with a balcony sold for 1.54 million shekels, while a smaller four-room unit of 76 square meters sold for 820,000 shekels. Notably, a three-room apartment of 60 square meters in Beersheba’s D neighborhood was sold for only 525,000 shekels, about one-fifth the price of similar apartments in Tel Aviv, highlighting the stark regional price differences in Israel’s housing market.

These transactions illustrate the ongoing activity in Israel’s real estate market despite economic challenges, with prices varying widely depending on location and property size. Buyers continue to invest across the country, from northern cities like Haifa to southern hubs like Beersheba.
