Regulation
Bank of Israel mulls tightening limits on developer sales incentives
8 November 2026 · Based on TheMarker
Rules set by the Supervisor of Banks in March 2025 to restrict developer promotions are easy to bypass and have had almost no effect on the market. Data indicate developer loans pose low risk to home buyers and banks. Bank of Israel is considering renewing the restrictions.
What it means for buyers abroad
Developer payment schemes on new-build apartments may be regulated again. Buyers abroad should read the payment terms of any off-plan contract carefully.
