CBS: New Apartment Sales Dropped by a Quarter in 2025; Second-Hand Market Remains Stable

In 2025, the Israeli real estate market experienced a significant decline in new apartment sales, dropping by 12% compared to 2024, yet showing a 27% increase from 2023, as reported by the Central Bureau of Statistics. Despite this downturn in the new construction segment, the second-hand housing market remained stable, preventing a critical deterioration of the overall market. Cities like Beer Yaakov, Herzliya, Nof HaGalil, and El'ad saw an increase in new apartment sales. Additionally, housing prices in Herzliya, Tel Aviv, Ramat Hasharon, and Givatayim are expected to continue declining over the next five years. Many real estate investors and heirs are selling properties due to falling prices, shifting their focus to the Israeli stock market, which is projected to double in the next five years.
