Tel Aviv leads in home sales
Data from the Central Bureau of Statistics indicates that Tel Aviv, Jerusalem, and Haifa led home sales in Israel between May and July 2026. While new apartment sales have shown moderate growth, the overall market experienced a slight dip in July due to seasonal factors.
Why it matters
Real estate trends in major Israeli cities provide insight into the country's economic health and housing supply stability.
Tel Aviv, Kiryat Gat and Haifa topped the sales of new apartments in May-July 2026, while most second-hand homes were sold in these months in Jerusalem, Haifa and Beersheva, the Central Bureau of Statistics reports.
The survey also shows that there was a fall in sales in July compared with May and June, and a return to a similar level of sales to the start of 2026. However, it is possible that the summer vacation and the days of mourning preceding Tisha B’Av contributed to the postponement of deals and relatively low figures.
