‘Home is the place where they have to take you in’
Demand remains strong for property in Israel
As we approach the end of 2025, it is impossible not to reflect on the fact that the past two years have been among the most challenging since the establishment of the state of Israel. This has been true not only for those living in Israel, but also for Jewish communities across the diaspora.
Although the challenges have been different, many would argue that the dramatic rise in antisemitism worldwide has left diaspora Jewry feeling more uncomfortable about their situation – in some cases even more so than Israelis.
In response, we have seen a significant increase in interest from abroad in the Israeli property market. Broadly speaking, those making enquiries fall into three groups: those seeking to make aliyah, those looking for a holiday home that could eventually become a permanent residence and those searching for an investment that could serve as a bolthole – a place they know will always welcome them.
As Robert Frost famously wrote: “Home is the place where, when you have to go there, they have to take you in.” For many, Israel embodies exactly that.
The property market in Israel has faced considerable challenges over this period: war, high interest rates, disruptions to travel and – before the conflict – social unrest, among other factors. Yet despite these pressures, demand remains strong across a range of price points.
We are seeing particular interest in large family homes and spacious apartments, flats for children studying in Israel and investment properties that could serve as long-term residences.

We are closely connected with reputable developers, offer a wide selection of high quality listings both on and off market, and maintain strong relationships with trusted lawyers, tax specialists, aliyah advisors and mortgage brokers.
