Ride the Wave

24.01.2024 By Yitzchak Kowalsky

As the war continues here in Israel, the real estate market has woken up. You might wonder why specifically now, in such a time of turmoil have buyers decided to enter the market? There are a few reasons.

Due to the war, interest rates have gone down, making it more feasible for those who couldn’t buy, now to jump into the pool of those looking. These buyers are feverishly looking to buy something as fast as possible, as we believe interest rates will rise once the war comes to an end.

Another reason is the huge wave of Aliyah that is expected in the next couple of years. Whether it’s due to the growing antisemitism or not, Nefesh b’Nefesh, from what we’ve heard, opened up another team just to deal with the extremely high volume of applications coming in. Those making Aliyah will need somewhere to live, and while some will go to other cities, many will want to stay in Jerusalem, as we’ve seen from other trends in the past. This will drive the prices up. Therefore, those who choose to stay on land and not surf the wave, will find themselves looking at higher price tags for properties.

So as our nation goes through its extreme changes all around the world, and I, myself, am coming back to regular citizen life (still not fully there yet), I’ve realized that there’s no time like today to buy a property in our homeland, and to secure your piece in this land we fight with all our might to secure.

Stay tuned for new projects to come!

When potential clients call me, I try to explain the situation with the following reasons:

Most people would assume that when Israel is at war, stay away from real estate, but in actuality it’s the exact opposite, and I’ll tell you why.

Buying a Property On-Paper

12.12.2022

Back in the day, the way to make money was to do a flip. This meant buying a property that needed renovations for cheaper due to the fact that it needed work, renovating it and selling it for a higher price. Through this, you’d make a nice amount of money. Well, those days are pretty much over due to the following factors

New Law To The Buyer’s Benefit

12.12.2022

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. In a standard 150 sqm apartment, this meant...
