Jerusalem Property Update:

Post Pesach Penthouse Specials!

Happy Yom Haatzmaut readers!

With tourists returning over Pesach and prices still being extremely high, there is still a lot of market activity carrying on. The main question is whether it is going to stop. The Israeli government would love for it to stop, as the government wants to slow down the market. 

Over the past 6 months the government has taken a few actions to try to push its agenda:

1) Raised purchase tax up to a minimum of 8% for foreign buyers.

2) The Bank of Israel has raised the interest rate by .25% and the estimate, although no guarantee, is that it will move up another 1% during this calendar year.

3) There is talk about penalizing owners of Airbnb and preventing short-term rentals in order to prevent empty apartments and holiday nests. No actual decision seems to have come out yet. 

All these actions beg the question of how this will affect the market. Is it going to slow down? Is it going to bring prices down?
