If you are looking for
a home in Israel, it is important to look beyond the typical Israeli
neighborhoods and consider the many advantages of living in the country. The
cost of living in Israel is very low, with property prices doubling in the last
decade. A luxury home is defined as a two to 15 million-dollar home. Because of
the high demand for luxury homes in the country, prices in these areas have
increased dramatically.
The country's recent
economic recession has been a driving factor behind the rapid rise in house
prices, a phenomenon that has been fuelled by a lack of alternative investment
options and central bank expansionary monetary policies. In fact, real estate
accounts for as much as 19 percent of the nation's gross domestic product and
13% of its indirect output. It also makes up 40% of the public's wealth. Since
the pandemic began, the government has been working to slow the rise in house
prices. The government recently announced a plan to boost dwelling starts to
54,200 a year by 2019 to deal with the shortage of housing in Israel.
The government
introduced a series of purchase tax schemes to stem the rising market activity.
However, the effect of these measures has been to slow the growth of the
market. This meant that purchase tax schemes were a short-term solution and
only slightly helped. The levy on apartment owners caused a decline in
investment transactions from 40% in early 2015 to 15% in recent months.
Meanwhile, the government intensified its efforts to sell discounted land to
builders. This forced them to sell the apartments at below-market prices. The
government also implemented a lottery system for Israelis who did not have
enough money for a home. The lottery system has generated over 60,000
households since the end of 2015 but only about 18% of them actually bought the
apartments at a reduced price.
In Israel, foreign
investors are buying houses to live in and have become more interested in
buying luxury properties. While the country once had only foreign investors, it
is now becoming a popular choice among Israelis. One such real estate agent is
Rachel Golan, a Tel Aviv-based real estate agent. She sells holiday dwellings
in northern Israel, close to the Sea of Galilee. This trend is a result of the
government's social and economic policies.
Foreign buyers are
increasingly interested in buying homes in Israel. In addition to purchasing
homes in Israel, they can invest in apartments, villas, and vacation homes.
Although the market is still slow and decisions are often long-term, there is a
large demand for luxury real estate in Israel. Almost half of all Israelis have
homes for sale, according to the National Jewish Agency. The country is home to
more than a million Jews.
