מה קרה

Nearly 7% of home purchase deals in southern Israel, especially Beersheba, were canceled in 2023 due to financing challenges, higher mortgage rates, and declining property values. Buyers who entered deals with low initial payments now face large deferred costs and less favorable market conditions, leading to increased cancellations and financial strain.

01Cancellation rates in Beersheba reached nearly 7% in 2023, double the national average.
02Financing models like 10/90 and 20/80 deferred large payments, now causing buyer difficulties.
03Higher mortgage rates and lower incomes in the south increase repayment burdens.
04Property prices have declined, making earlier deals less attractive and prompting cancellations.
05Cancellation fees vary widely but average around 20,000 shekels in the south.
06Many 2024-2025 deals will face major payments in 2027-2028, risking further cancellations.
