Last month was not the typical August in Israel: Tourist levels were at an all-time low, infection levels hit record highs, Israeli travellers spent days on end in quarantine upon return from abroad, and families with young children were forced to test regularly and limit their activities. As we enter the Holiday season, we mourn the loss of more than 6,000 Israeli victims to Covid but feel incredibly thankful for the vaccination booster campaign which has enabled the country to remain open while protecting the sick and vulnerable.
The following is a selection of real estate deals that took place in August 2021 that involved English-speaking real estate agents in Israel. The idea is to give our readers a general idea of the residential real estate market, property prices, and activities taking place around the country that relate to Israel real estate*.
