Why is it profitable to buy an apartment from a developer in Israel?

Real estate prices in Israel in the new builds began to gain momentum again in 2020 after some stagnation in 2018 and 2019. This trend will continue, according to experts. The pandemic has led to an increase in housing prices in the new builds for sale: in the first quarter of 2020, the number of new construction projects began to decline, this trend continued throughout the year and continued in 2021. Since construction work takes a certain amount of time, this means that in the next one to two years there will be a shortage of new apartments on the market, which is likely to lead to higher prices in the future. The demographic component also contributed to the increase in the cost of housing. In Israel, with its significant population growth (not very typical for countries with a high standard of living), the number of households is growing much faster than apartments appearing on the market, and the gap between these indicators is only growing every year.

Mortgage interest rates have reached their historic lows, which could not fail to attract buyers and investors. Another factor is the decision taken in August 2020 to reduce the tax on the purchase of real estate (from 8% to 5%). All this creates high demand against the backdrop of reduced supply - a classic scenario of a stable and long-term growth in prices for residential complexes in Israel. This situation cannot be considered good news for young families, but it is beneficial for investors who have seen the trend and decided to invest in the new homes for sale from developers.

According to the real estate search engine GEOLN.COM, the lowest price per square meter for a turnkey apartment in a new home in Tel Aviv is 2,850 USD.
