Real Estate in Israel: The Districts Where Off-Plan Purchases Paid Off
The Israeli real estate market keeps evolving, with some neighborhoods showing exceptional value increases through off-plan property purchases. A recent study highlights the most profitable areas for such investments.
Top-Performing Areas
Several neighborhoods have seen four-room apartment values surge by over 50% in just three years. These include:
- Pisgat Ofek (Rosh HaAyin)
- Glil Hayam (Herzliya)
- Tzemerot (Be’er Ya’akov)
- Kiryat Gat
- Neve Zemer (Raanana)
- Yavne HaYaruka (Yavne)
- Avnei Chen (Harish)
- Pisgat Ono (Kiryat Ono)
- Ramat Ezra (Beit Shemesh)
These neighborhoods benefited from upgraded transport infrastructure and rising demand amid limited supply.
Drivers of Value Growth
Population growth in these areas boosted demand for new housing. Well-planned urban projects and the appeal of modern neighborhoods further fueled price increases.
How Long Does It Take to See a Return?
In areas like Neve Zemer (Raanana) and Glil Hayam (Herzliya), prices soared 50% within 2 to 3 years thanks to focused developments (shops, parks, public transport).
In other areas like Pisgat Ofek (Rosh HaAyin) and Harish, appreciation was slower due to abundant supply and initiatives like Mechir LeMishtaken.
