At the Eilat 2026 Real Estate Conference, experts discussed the paradoxical situation of the Israeli real estate market. Although risk levels are rising, margins are decreasing due to an oversupply compared to demand. Young people continue to buy apartments despite a market slowdown. Banks and alternative lenders play a crucial role in financing, offering diverse solutions to developers. Banks like Mizrahi Tefahot and the International Bank emphasize the importance of risk management and client support. Alternative lenders, such as Ampha Capital, provide creative solutions to meet developers' needs. The Israeli real estate market is undergoing significant changes, with a high inventory of unsold homes, particularly in Jerusalem and Tel Aviv. Experts highlight the need for a regional approach to understand local dynamics. Despite challenges, the market remains attractive to young buyers, who see real estate as a long-term opportunity.
