This week, Dor Neuman was a guest on the main panel of Channel 14 – Business Now, for an in-depth discussion on the state of the real estate market in Israel. During the conversation, three central topics shaping the market today were analyzed: the demand for housing that is rising at a rapid pace, the current apartment inventory, and how this will affect future construction.

Those who do not buy an apartment in 2026 will find prices higher in 2027/28.
The demand for housing in Israel continues to rise year after year, mainly due to ongoing natural population growth, an increase in the number of households, and a growing trend of immigration to Israel. At the same time, there is currently a high inventory of developer apartments, a situation that causes developers and contractors to think twice before making decisions on new projects. The surplus inventory hurts the pace of sales and extends 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 rises 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.
