Rents keep climbing in Israel while home prices stagnate
5 November 2026 · Based on Maariv
Apartment sale prices are moving sideways, but rents continue to rise. Experts point to a shortage of rental apartments, reduced investor activity and growing demand for homes with a safe room (mamad). They warn of further increases.
What it means for buyers abroad
For a buyer abroad, rising rents may affect the expected return on a rental property and the cost of renting while searching. A safe room is a feature in strong demand.
