Israel, selected in April 2008 by Forbes as one of the worlds most promising real estate markets, has always attracted affluent Jews from the Diaspora eager to buy property in Jerusalem, however, with the rise of luxury high rises in Tel Aviv and Ramat Gan, more and more affluent Jews are buying second homes in Israel, near the spectacular Mediterranean sea. Luxury real estate in Israel seems to be unaffected by the recent world economic downturn. Tel Aviv apartments for sale in the price range of $3,000,000 and up still being purchased by the well to do, as are high-end penthouses with price tags as high as $30,000,000.
The high-end real estate market is meant for those that have the means to buy luxury properties in the most desirable locations; buyers of such properties from the UK, Belgium, Canada, USA and South Africa demand only the finest quality and the ultimate experience in living.
Although overseas real estate markets have been hit hard by the worlds financial crisis, it is unlikely that Israel’s luxury real estate market will be affected, particularly since the market has proven that is has the capacity to withstand even the toughest circumstances.

Guy Lieberman’s recent article in Haaretz on buying high quality real estate in Israel without spending a fortune caught my attention this week. Perhaps it was the headline, (short and simple) or the first lines of the opening paragraph which, to me, sounded too good to be true… it doesn’t have to be that way? Sure it does! Most real estate professionals in Israel know that there is no such thing as cheap real estate in Israel, certainly not in the most desirable locations, (Jerusalem, Tel Aviv, Herzeliya Pituach, etc).
The article does indeed give readers insight on fantastic real estate deals albeit in Northern Israeli communities such as the Nahariya Yeruka (the project which includes 1,500 apartments – 1,200 of which have already been sold) Shlomit, Carmiel’s ‘Carmiela’ project and even Ashkelon! Northern Ashkelon has long been regarded as one of the city’s most expensive neighborhoods, yet, according to Lieberman, “you can still find a 4-room apartment consisting of 136 square meters with a 15-meter porch for NIS 630,000 (under special sale terms)” I wonder what those special sale terms are… home buyers are advised to read the fine print.

The article cites that although Israel’s real estate market struggled in the late ’90s and early 2000s, last year prices climbed 2% and this trend is expected to continue, “given the country’s robust 5.1% 2007 growth in gross domestic product and a 3.8% projection for this year.”
