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.”

High End Real Estate in Tel Aviv
March 30, 2009 at 6:03 am (Luxury Real Estate Israel)
High end real estate in Tel Aviv still in demand
Rental prices for luxury penthouse apartments in Tel Aviv remain high, despite the disasterous real estate ‘melt-down’ which is taking place across the U.S. and in the UK. There has been a quiet speculation about Israel’s real estate market over the past several months. Some real estate experts have concluded that the global housing crisis will not pass over Israel this time around and that it’s only a matter of time before the market comes crashing down like a ton of bricks. Others insist that Israel’s real estate market is healthy, resillient and yes, even robust. But there is something to be said about all of this ‘dooms day’ chatter. When experts talk about real estate in Israel, they are referring to small to medium priced, average, family homes that sell for less than 2 million shekels. We all know that in a recession, the little guy is the one who pays the price. Point in fact: Tel Aviv’s luxury real estate market remains unaffected by the credit crunch. The wealthy remain wealthy and they are eager to buy up property in Israel so as long as the market remains steady.

Captial Gains Tax in Israel
Capital Gains Tax (known as Mas Shevach, in Israel) is paid by a property owner that is selling a private home, apartment, land or commercial property (i.e., a store or office). The capital gains is a tax paid for the profit made on the sale of any real estate or property in Israel. Property owners that sell their home, land or commercial property in Israel are not exempt from paying the capital gains tax, although in some cases, property owners may be exempted from paying the Capital gains tax on apartments. This is conditional exemption which stipulates that if an apartment has been used for non-commercial, strictly residential purposes, the property owner may be exempt from paying a capital gains tax if:
1) the property owner owns more than one apartment and the apartment for sale was not sold or transferred over the last four years
2) the apartment being sold is the only apartment owned by the seller and if the apartment was not sold or transferred over the last 18 months
An experienced Israel Real Estate attorney will be able to clarify the capital gains tax issue for any property in Israel.
