Housing ministry chief cites 10% drop in apartment prices at Eilat builders' conference
4 November 2026 · Based on TheMarker
At the contractors' association conference in Eilat, the director general of the Housing Ministry said apartment prices are down 10%. Industry leaders also criticized the government, saying Israel has no long-term national plan for the real-estate sector and that no effort to create one was made in the past four years.
What it means for buyers abroad
The 10% figure is an official's remark at an industry event, not a market dataset, so buyers abroad should check it against published price indices for their target area. Industry complaints about the lack of a long-term plan point to ongoing policy uncertainty.
