What a buyer pays in Israel

Buying costs — transfer tax or stamp duty, notary, registration and agency — come to about 15.1% of the price here. That is above the 10.3% median across the set — the entry cost is part of the investment case here.

What it earns

The typical home here lets for about $1,608 a month against a purchase price of $784,927, which is 2.5% gross before tax. Neither figure is quoted per square metre in this market, but both come from the same source, so the ratio between them holds. It ranks 263rd of 269 markets by gross yield. Rental income is taxed at 0–10% — the rate is not a single number here. The 2.2% net figure we publish uses 10%.

How the tax works. Residential landlords can elect a flat 10% on gross rent with no deductions, or a full exemption up to ILS 5,654 a month (2026), or ordinary marginal rates on net income. PwC does not state whether non-residents can use the 10% or exemption tracks, so treat this as indicative. Source: taxsummaries.pwc.com/israel.

How this figure is built

The price figure for Israel is built from recorded transaction prices. It was last refreshed on 2026-10-17. We rate our confidence in this market’s data medium: the series is usable, but thinner or less current than our best-covered markets. We recompute every market the same way; a figure that fails our checks is suppressed, not guessed.
