The most desirable property transactions in Israel — by both price and pedigree — do not happen on the open market. They happen in a series of phone calls between brokers who have known each other for fifteen years.
Industry estimates place the share of off-market transactions in Israel's top tier — properties above approximately 12 million NIS — between 35% and 50%.
Why sellers prefer privacy
Three forces have converged: privacy, pricing precision, and counterparty selection.
Why buyers prefer privacy too
Sophisticated buyers are wary of the visibility a public transaction creates. Off-market acquisition also offers access to properties the seller has not yet decided to sell.
The geography of off-market Israel
Herzliya Pituah has the highest off-market share of any Israeli luxury submarket. Caesarea behaves similarly. Talbiyeh in Jerusalem is effectively a closed market.
How an international buyer accesses off-market inventory
There is no portal. Off-market access is, in every case, a function of relationship.
