- 02Failure to sell by the deadline incurs an 8% purchase tax and potential capital gains tax.
- 03Some sellers are reducing prices by up to 100,000 shekels to expedite sales.
- 04Tax deadlines were extended due to the war but are now expiring.
- 05About 23% of home upgraders recently failed to sell their previous homes on time.
Those who fail to sell their existing homes within the new deadlines risk losing single-residence tax benefits and facing an 8% purchase tax, potentially costing hundreds of thousands of shekels.
