The economy has reopened, kids are back at school, masks have been removed in outdoor places, and hope abounds that Corona is finally behind us. With that, homebuyers are rushing to buy homes like there’s no tomorrow. Israeli agents relay stories of buyers that are paying asking prices with no negotiations, closing deals without inspections and more anxious than ever to buy homes, before the prices get any higher.
