This week, Dor Neumann was a guest on the central panel of Channel 14’s “Business Now,” for an in-depth discussion on the state of the real estate market in Israel. During the conversation, three main topics that shape the market today were analyzed: the demand for housing, which is increasing at a high rate, the current stock of apartments, and how this will affect future construction. נדל”ן בחיפה

Those who do not buy an apartment in 2026 will find prices higher in 2027/28.
The demand for housing in Israel continues to increase year after year, mainly due to a continuous natural increase in the population, an increase in the number of households, and an upward trend in immigration to Israel. At the same time, there is currently a high stock of contractor apartments, a situation that causes developers and contractors to think twice about making decisions on new projects. The surplus stock hurts the rate of sales and lengthens the marketing period, so many developers prefer to postpone or reduce construction starts – which could create a future shortage in supply and increase the pressure for price increases in the coming years.
Haifa versus Gush Dan
In Gush Dan, a trend of price correction has been noticeable recently. In contrast, a clear positive trend was recorded in the Haifa area, with an average increase of about 8.5% in apartment prices over the past two years. This data reflects a strengthening in demand for the area, among other things, thanks to infrastructure development, improved transportation accessibility, and the search for more affordable alternatives to the center of the country.

דברו איתנוFrequently Asked Questions
What did Dor Neumann say about real estate on Channel 14?
Dor Neumann explained that housing demand continues to outpace supply, construction pace is expected to slow, and prices will continue rising long-term due to fundamental market imbalances in Israel.
Why is construction pace expected to decrease?
Construction pace is slowing due to labor shortages, rising material costs, stricter building regulations, longer permit processes, and reduced availability of suitable building land in desirable locations.
How does reduced construction affect property prices?
Reduced construction means fewer new units entering the market while demand continues growing. This supply-demand imbalance puts upward pressure on prices, benefiting existing property owners and early investors.
Should investors wait for prices to drop?
Market experts, including Dor Neumann, advise against waiting as fundamental factors support continued price increases. Strategic investment now, particularly in growth areas like Haifa, is recommended.
What makes Haifa the smart choice for investment right now?
Haifa combines lower entry prices, higher yields, massive urban renewal, tech sector growth, and improving infrastructure, making it the most attractive risk-adjusted investment opportunity in Israel today.
