Areas of demand have turn into areas of provide, and homebuyers now have alternative to get a discount when buying properties, particularly new residences, in and round Tel Aviv – that is proven by two indices that try to trace the state of the market.
The primary index relies on knowledge from Yad2’s on-line bulletin board, and refers back to the ratio between the variety of advertisements for house gross sales and the variety of on-line views of them. The second index has been developed by “Globes,” and examines the provision of latest properties towards their month-to-month gross sales price.
The Yad2 index is being revealed forward of its giant “Nadlan Nation” housing honest, which might be held at Expo Tel Aviv this weekend, and can convey collectively, in line with the organizers, “A whole lot of initiatives from everywhere in the nation, with reductions that may attain NIS 500,000 per condo,” with supporting skilled recommendation.
The indices: Each metropolis was measured by two segments
The index referred to as by Yad2 the “market warmth index,” relies on the ratio between provide and demand in numbers starting from 0 and up. The upper the worth, the extra curiosity there’s on common for every itemizing on the market. Greater numbers imply the market is extra in favor of sellers, with excessive demand relative to the present provide. A low quantity reveals the reverse scenario, with fewer patrons thinking about obtainable properties. This will end result from each low demand and excessive provide, however regardless it’s a “purchaser’s market.”
As a result of the warmth index is primarily targeted on second-hand residences, there are typically contradictions between it and the Central Bureau of Statistics condo provide knowledge, however these could be defined: there are cities like Beer Yaakov, Kiryat Ono, Kiryat Bialik, Sderot, Netivot and Ofakim the place new development has utterly taken over the market and second-hand condo offers are few.
However, in cities like Kfar Saba, Holon, Hadera and Haifa, the majority of the market contains second-hand residences, as a result of there’s comparatively little new development there.
When the warmth index is especially excessive – 70 or increased, it implies that demand far exceeds provide. The locations that characterize this example are primarily haredi cities like Beitar Illit, Modi’in Illit and Beit Shemesh, and peripheral cities like Yokneam, Netivot, Sderot and Kiryat Yam.
In Netivot and Sderot, many offers are by younger {couples} buying new residences, particularly as a part of authorities sponsored packages. Consequently these in search of second-hand residences or residences at market costs have issue discovering them.

Second-hand: The “costly” cities are hit more durable
The index’s findings are very attention-grabbing. “The extended battle is affecting virtually each facet of the housing market from excessive rates of interest, to the scarcity of development staff, to the rising concern amongst patrons, particularly in costly areas that have been hit more durable by the battle. The result’s a non-homogeneous market, by which there are clear gaps between areas with extra provide and people with extra demand,” says Yad2 CMO Ayelet Nitsan.
Nitsan says, “Yad2’s ‘warmth index’ knowledge illustrates the development: in cities like Tel Aviv, Ramat Hasharon and Hod Hasharon, that are among the many most costly in Israel, a really robust patrons’ market could be seen, which means there are numerous residences on the market however much less demand.
“The same phenomenon can also be seen in cities like Raanana, Herzliya, Ramat Gan and Kfar Saba. It’s exactly in these areas, the place the prevailing feeling is that ‘costs are too excessive,’ that the best alternatives for negotiations, reductions and advantages from builders come up.”
“On the identical time, there are cities within the periphery or the periphery of the middle the place there’s nonetheless extra demand – equivalent to Petah Tikva, Kiryat Gat, Hadera and Dimona – and haredi and cities with very younger populations like Modi’in Illit and Beitar Illit, the place the warmth indices are notably excessive.
“When you perceive what’s on the market and know the place to look, you’ll be able to give you notably profitable offers.”
New residences: Cities the place it’s going to take 4 years to promote stock
Whereas the main target of Yad2’s warmth index is principally second-hand residences, “Globes” examined one other index primarily based on knowledge from the Central Bureau of Statistics and the Israel Tax Authority to look at market sentiment for brand spanking new properties.
This index relies on the ratio between the present provide of latest residences and the month-to-month price of gross sales of latest residences within the final six months.
The ensuing ratio is the theoretical variety of months that it’s going to take to promote the present stock of residences. The larger the quantity means the market is a “purchaser’s market.” The provision of latest properties in Tel Aviv reached 10,140 on the finish of Could, in line with the Central Bureau of Statistics, whereas the month-to-month gross sales price of latest residences within the metropolis reached 201. Based on “Globes” index, this huge stock is sufficient for 50 months of gross sales.
That is an insufferable scenario for builders, and a scenario by which homebuyers can discount with each builders and householders. Tel Aviv is “marked” by each indices as essentially the most handy metropolis for patrons, and consequently condo costs within the Tel Aviv district have recorded a cumulative decline of virtually 3% within the final three value indices.
Ramat Gan can also be marked by the Yad2 index and “Globes” index as a powerful purchaser’s market, with a inventory of latest 3,477 residences of three,477 ought to take 48 months to promote. Bat Yam ranks stronger within the “Globes” index than the Yad2 warmth index, when it comes to the patrons’ capacity to discount, on the acquisition of a brand new house.
Rehovot got here high of the “Globes” index, with a list of 1,289 new residences on the market, which in line with the speed of gross sales of latest residences within the metropolis, ought to take 52 months to promote. Within the warmth index, Rehovot had a impartial score, as a result of potential condo patrons want second-hand residences. However in Rehovot patrons are in a powerful scenario when bargaining with actual property builders for brand spanking new properties.
Nonetheless, even in cities that got here in low within the “Globes” rating – Rishon LeZion, Hadera, Herzliya and Ashdod – plainly patrons can discount with builders in buying an condo, since finally builders don’t wish to wait too lengthy earlier than promoting their stock.
