Illustration by baba

What happened

  1. 01Nearly 50% of Israeli investors lost money selling properties held for less than five years.
  2. 02The southern region shows a 62% loss rate for investors selling properties held for under five years.
  3. 03Longer property holding periods, over 30 years, result in negligible investor losses.
  4. 04Short-term real estate investment profitability has significantly declined in Israel.
  5. 05Data covers approximately 12,000 sales transactions nationwide in the past year.

Longer holding periods significantly reduce the likelihood of loss, with properties held over 30 years showing minimal losses. This marks a stark contrast to previous years when short-term real estate investments were highly profitable.
