Israel Real Estate Market Statistics

Official Central Bureau of Statistics & Bank of Israel data

Last successful update: 13 September 2026

  • CBS price indices
  • CBS time series
  • Bank of Israel

Every indicator carries its own reference period — CBS and Bank of Israel releases lag by one to three months, so figures on this page do not describe a single month. Dwelling price indices cover overlapping two-month periods and their latest values are provisional.

Sources & methodology

Update schedule, revisions and last-known-good
  • A full server-side import runs on the 1st of every month at 06:00 Israel time (04:00 UTC winter / 07:00 IDT summer) and again on the 16th, after the CBS mid-month price-index release. Nothing is fetched in the browser.
  • Each import re-downloads the whole recent window of every series (100 index periods, 132 months of counts, 60 quarters), so CBS revisions of provisional periods — the last three two-month HPI periods and the last two months of sales and stock — are applied idempotently.
  • If a core series is missing, a value is negative or non-numeric, a period duplicates, or total sales do not reconcile with new + second-hand, the import is rejected and the last validated dataset stays live. A source that has not yet published a new period simply keeps its last period; blanks are never written as zero.
  • Seasonally adjusted and trend series are stored and drawn separately from original data and are never summed with it. Stocks (unsold dwellings, active construction, outstanding credit) are never added to flows.
Definitions and derived formulas
  • Dwellings Price Index — CBS quality-adjusted index of new and second-hand dwelling transaction prices, computed on overlapping two-month windows and labelled by the second month (the API value for May is April–May). Base: average 1993 = 100; district and new-dwelling indices: October 2017 = 100.
  • Months of supply — official CBS ratio of unsold new dwellings to the sales pace, computed on trend data.
  • Share of new dwellings in total salesnew_share = sales_new / sales_total × 100 (derived, not official).
  • Total dwellings sold — trailing 12 monthsrolling_12m = sum(last 12 consecutive non-overlapping months) (derived, not official).
  • New dwellings sold — trailing 12 monthsrolling_12m = sum(last 12 consecutive non-overlapping months) (derived, not official).
  • New dwellings sold as % of unsold stocksales_to_stock_ratio = sales_new / unsold_new × 100 — Not the official months-of-supply; a simple monthly absorption ratio. (derived, not official).
  • Dwellings Price Index — real year-on-year changereal_hpi_change = (1 + nominal_hpi_yoy) / (1 + cpi_yoy) − 1 — CPI of the index's second month is used; the two-month HPI window is not a calendar month. (derived, not official).
  • Average new housing loanaverage_loan_size = new_housing_loan_volume / number_of_new_loans (derived, not official).
  • Government-subsidized share of new dwellings soldsubsidized_share = sales_new_subsidized / sales_new × 100 (derived, not official).
  • Urban-renewal share of construction begunurban_renewal_share = starts_urban_renewal / starts_q × 100 — Dwellings begun in rebuilt buildings (demolition and reconstruction) as a share of all dwellings begun in the quarter. (derived, not official).

Coverage limits
  • Average dwelling prices in shekels, prices by number of rooms and average rents are published by CBS only as quarterly Excel/PDF tables without an API; they are not included yet. Index levels are never converted into shekel prices.
  • Buyer segments (first-home buyers, investors, home improvers, non-residents) come from the Ministry of Finance Chief Economist’s PDF reviews and are not yet connected.
  • The Israel Tax Authority transaction database has no documented bulk API; no transaction-level data is scraped, so no median prices, price distributions or price per m² are shown.
  • The variable-rate non-indexed mortgage rate series in the Bank of Israel dataflow ends in January 2024 and is therefore omitted.

Statistics are reproduced from official publications of the Israel Central Bureau of Statistics (price indices API, time-series API) and the Bank of Israel. Derived metrics are labelled and their formulas shown. This page is informational only; it is not investment advice, a forecast, or an offer, and values may be revised by the sources. Mortgage averages describe loans granted system-wide, not an offer to any borrower.
