Dor Neuman, a partner at the &#8220;Ahuza&#8221; company, sorts through the data and explains what really awaits eligible applicants behind the glittering numbers.<\/p>\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-vimeo wp-block-embed-vimeo wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"WhatsApp Video 2026-02-15 at 19.29.24\" src=\"https:\/\/player.vimeo.com\/video\/1165365714?dnt=1&amp;app_id=122963\" width=\"800\" height=\"431\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; fullscreen; picture-in-picture; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\"><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Courtesy of Channel 14, Business Now<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-2\">Significant discounts alongside question marks<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The upcoming lottery focuses on cities such as Petah Tikva, Netanya, Rishon LeZion and Jerusalem.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A central innovation is the clear preference given to active reserve-duty soldiers, for whom almost half of the apartments have been allocated.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That said, Dor notes that despite the promises of 10,000 housing units, in practice we may see lower numbers, between 7,000 and 9,000 units, due to bureaucratic delays that still cast a shadow over the process.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-3\">Where is the highest chance of winning?<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">With about 130,000 eligible applicants waiting for the lotteries, the competition is fiercer than ever. &#8220;It&#8217;s important to understand that the odds of winning change dramatically according to geographic location,&#8221; explains Dor Neuman. &#8220;While in the center of the country the odds stand at about 1 in 20, in the periphery the picture is completely different, and the odds can reach 1 in 5.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our recommendation at &#8216;Ahuza&#8217; is to carefully consider applying in the peripheral areas in order to maximize the probability of ending up with a property you own.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-4\">A critical look at the housing solutions<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Alongside the optimism, Dor Neuman does not spare his criticism, arguing that this is a &#8220;band-aid&#8221; rather than a root treatment. According to him, the program does not solve the structural supply problem in the real estate market: from the drawn-out bureaucracy that sometimes takes more than 7 years for developers, to the absence of real long-term rental solutions that would ease the pressure on purchases.<\/p>\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"section-5\">The bottom line<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Despite the challenges, &#8220;Discounted Apartment&#8221; remains today the main route for thousands of families on the way to a home of their own.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We recommend continuing to closely follow the official announcements and making sure your registration is up to date ahead of the system&#8217;s opening.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n<div class=\"entity-note\" style=\"background:#f8f9fa;border-right:3px solid #EFAA4B;padding:12px 18px;margin:20px 0;border-radius:6px;font-size:13px;color:#666;direction:ltr;\"><strong>Professional terms:<\/strong> Real Estate Investment | Market Trends | Property Management | Asset Allocation | Investment Strategy<\/div>\n<p style=\"font-size:14px;color:#666;direction:ltr;\">Additional source of information: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gov.il\/he\/departments\/guides\/urban_renewal\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" style=\"color:#EFAA4B;\">Ministry of Housing: Urban Renewal<\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"sgo-related\" style=\"background:#FCF1E0;padding:20px 25px;border-radius:10px;margin:25px 0;direction:ltr;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#000;font-size:18px;margin:0 0 12px;\">More articles you may find interesting<\/h3>\n<ul style=\"list-style:none;padding:0;margin:0;\">\n<li style=\"margin:8px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ahuza.co.il\/en\/real-estate-yield-haifa-2026-investor-guide\/\" style=\"color:#EFAA4B;text-decoration:none;font-weight:500;\"> Haifa real estate yield 2026, The complete investor&#8217;s guide to the sought-after neighborhoods<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:8px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ahuza.co.il\/en\/investor-guidance-haifa-2026\/\" style=\"color:#EFAA4B;text-decoration:none;font-weight:500;\"> Investor guidance in Haifa for 2026, How to buy a winning property<\/a><\/li>\n<li style=\"margin:8px 0;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/ahuza.co.il\/en\/dor-neuman-ynet-cost-of-living-real-estate\/\" style=\"color:#EFAA4B;text-decoration:none;font-weight:500;\"> Dor Neuman on Ynet: how to successfully navigate between the cost of living and real estate development?<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"sgo-cta\" style=\"background:#000;padding:30px;border-radius:12px;text-align:center;margin:30px 0;direction:ltr;\">\n<h3 style=\"color:#FFFFFF;font-size:22px;margin:0 0 10px;\">Looking for a smart real estate investment in Haifa?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"color:#ccc;font-size:16px;margin:0 0 15px;\">The Ahuza team accompanies investors through every stage of the investment process: from sourcing to handing over the keys.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"#footer\" style=\"display:inline-block;background:#EFAA4B;color:#000;padding:12px 35px;border-radius:8px;font-size:17px;font-weight:bold;text-decoration:none;\">Talk to us<\/a><\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"sgo-faq sgo-faq-accordion\" style=\"margin:30px 0;\">\n<h2 style=\"font-size:24px;margin-bottom:15px;\">Frequently asked questions<\/h2>\n<details style=\"margin-bottom:10px;border:1px solid #e0e0e0;border-radius:6px;padding:12px 16px;\">\n<summary style=\"cursor:pointer;font-weight:600;\">What is the Discounted Apartment 2026 program?<\/summary>\n<div class=\"faq-answer\" style=\"margin-top:10px;line-height:1.8;\">Discounted Apartment (Dira BeHanacha) is a government housing program that markets apartments at a reduced price to eligible applicants through a lottery.
