Until a week ago, if you bought a new property on paper and you went by the 20/80 payment schedule, you got screwed by the ‘cost of building index.’ Let me explain. ‘The cost of building index’ means that if the materials of a building being built were increased, such as wood, metals, tiles, etc., the buyer carried the burden of paying that extra cost.

12.12.2022

As we see the light at the end of the tunnel and the new road to and from Efrat is being completed, as we speak, we also see the increase in prices in the various communities in Efrat. If prices in the older sections, such as Gefen, Rimon and Teena were between 8,000 to 10,000 NIS per sqm up to a year ago, we see now that the prices are already going up to around 12,000 to 13,000 NIS per sqm.
