Selling an apartment at a loss can offset capital gains elsewhere
3 November 2026 · Based on Globes
A slowdown in sales and falling prices have pushed nearly half of short-term apartment investors to sell at a real loss. If the loss is reported correctly, it can be set against gains in the capital market, potentially saving tens of thousands of shekels.
What it means for buyers abroad
Investors who sell at a loss should report it properly, as it may reduce tax on other gains. Foreign owners should check how this applies to their own tax situation with an Israeli tax adviser.
