According to N12, the real estate price index shows a 0.3% decline in apartment prices during March-April 2026. Jerusalem and Haifa recorded drops of about 2%, while Tel Aviv and central Israel saw slight price increases of 0.7% and 0.2% respectively. The data is part of the same period's consumer price index report, which also fell 0.3%.
The real estate price index for March-April 2026, published Monday by Israel's Central Bureau of Statistics and reported by N12, shows a modest 0.3% decline in apartment prices nationally. However, the aggregate figure masks significant regional divergence: Jerusalem and Haifa experienced sharper drops of approximately 2%, while Tel Aviv recorded a 0.7% increase and central Israel saw a 0.2% rise. The data follows a period of market adjustment in the wake of the U.S.-Iran deal and the ongoing war's economic effects. As The Zioneer reported earlier today, the overall Consumer Price Index also fell 0.3% during the same period, reflecting broad disinflationary trends. The housing market figures update the picture from April sales data published June 10, which showed a 19% year-on-year drop in apartment transactions to historically low levels. No further details on regional breakdowns or the index's composition have been released.
