Israel has frozen purchase tax brackets for single homes until 2028, causing higher effective taxes as housing prices rise. Single-home buyers benefit from a tax exemption on the first 1.98 million shekels, while investors pay tax from the first shekel, significantly increasing costs. Buyers replacing homes must time sales carefully to avoid higher taxes. The purchase tax is a major additional cost often overlooked by buyers.
