Are worth of recent residences in Israel about to fall? An evaluation by “Globes” has discovered that the availability of recent residences in a number of cities, particularly within the Tel Aviv space, is ample for greater than 3 years, and poses a critical problem to actual property builders. Nonetheless, costs, as of now, should not falling.
In response to the evaluation carried out by “Globes” from knowledge printed by the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Israel Tax Authority on the availability of residences in Israel and the sale of recent residences, Kiryat Ono is essentially the most tough metropolis for actual property builders to promote residences. Town is swamped with a provide of 1,550 new unsold residences, however on the present gross sales charge, it would take builders eight years to promote the stock. Ramat Gan, Ra’anana, Bat Yam, Beit Shemesh and Tel Aviv are additionally flooded with house stock, which can take builders years to dump.
It’ll take over two years to promote the nationwide stock
Whereas the availability of recent residences is rising, there’s a decline within the variety of accomplished offers out there. Within the first two months of 2025, about 2,200 residences have been offered per 30 days on the free market, in comparison with a month-to-month common of about 3,100 residences offered on the free market in 2024, which can also be fairly low. Weak gross sales imply builders are caught with their house stock for longer. In response to the Central Bureau of Statistics, on a nationwide common, the present stock of 78,000 new residences, will take greater than two years to dump on the present gross sales charge.
But costs proceed to rise, and it’s probably that no less than a part of the reason lies within the 20% (pay now) 80% (pay on occupancy) presents, with contractor’s loans, which give patrons with profitability differently than worth reductions. Nonetheless, the query is how lengthy can this case will final, particularly because the Financial institution of Israel’s endurance with monetary gross sales promotions has expired and it has instructed banks to limit them?
Huge provide of residences within the middle of the nation
Inspecting the geographical distribution of unsold new residences finds that 45% are within the Tel Aviv and central districts; 13% in every of the Jerusalem and southern districts; about 15% in Haifa and the north; and the remaining in Judea and Samaria.
Attributable to this, it’s no surprise that the massive provide of residences within the cities of the Tel Aviv metropolitan area doesn’t match the reducing tempo of purchases. The stock of residences within the south and north roughly matches the tempo of purchases.
Central Bureau of Statistics knowledge additionally point out the availability of residences in giant and small cities the place the availability is outstanding. Cities that stand out when it comes to provide are Tel Aviv, with 9,263 new unsold residences, Jerusalem 7,489, Bat Yam 4,130, Ramat Gan 3,565 and Netanya, which has 3,489 new unsold residences.

The scenario in these cities is extraordinarily difficult, and the availability is giant, however contemplating the tempo of gross sales (in Tel Aviv and Jerusalem, for instance, it stands at about 260 new residences per 30 days, in contrast to some dozen in smaller cities), the scenario there may be not essentially essentially the most problematic.
It’ll take years to eliminate the residences
To look at the total image, “Globes” gathered knowledge from the Israel Tax Authority and the Central Bureau of Statistics about offers for brand new residences that befell within the six months between September 2024 and February 2025. “Globes” calculated the typical month-to-month gross sales charge (i.e. what number of new residences are offered in these places per 30 days) and divided the inventory of unsold residences by the gross sales charge, acquiring the time remaining till the availability is exhausted in every of the places.
Thus, in Kiryat Ono, 1,550 new unsold residences have been counted in February 2025 by the Central Bureau of Statistics, however the month-to-month charge of house purchases on this metropolis in current months is simply 16 placing it in first place within the rating of how lengthy it would take to unload all the brand new residences.
On the present gross sales charge, and if the encircling situations (costs, rates of interest, macroeconomic scenario, and many others.) don’t change, it would take builders eight years to run down the availability of residences within the metropolis.
In second place is Ramat Gan with a provide of three,565 new residences that may take over 4 years to promote. In demand Ra’anana got here in third place with a inventory of 1,410 new residences and a mean gross sales charge of 35 residences per 30 days. It’ll take builders virtually three and a half years to run down the stock. Additionally excessive within the rankings are Bat Yam, Beit Shemesh, Tel Aviv, Ashdod and Netanya, which on the present gross sales charge will take builders over two and a half years to promote all their residences.
Within the south, then again, “Globes” discovered stock that roughly matches demand. In Beersheva, Netivot, and Ofakim, the availability of residences might be exhausted inside a 12 months or much less. Nonetheless, a good portion of the development in these cities is allotted to authorities sponsored housing packages, and subsequently the information is much less vital. The identical is true for Beer Yaakov and Kiryat Bialik.
