The One-Third Rule: Purchase Tax on Gifted Property in Israel
When a property is purchased in Israel, the buyer pays purchase tax (מס רכישה). But when a property is gifted between eligible family members, the recipient pays only one-third of what they would normally owe.

Here's how it works:

First, the full purchase tax is calculated as if this were a standard arms-length purchase. Then that amount is divided by three. The recipient pays only that final figure.

For example: if the applicable purchase tax rate works out to 8% of the property's value, you calculate what 8% would be, then pay one-third of that amount.

It can be a meaningful discount, and one of the primary financial incentives that can make gifting an attractive option in Israeli property transfers.

But the recipient must qualify under Israeli law's definition of an eligible family member. Not every relative qualifies.

Just made Aliyah? Between Misrad HaKlita, opening a bank account, and figuring out where to buy groceries, signing a rental agreement might feel like a formality.
It isn't.
For most new olim, the first rental contract in Israel is also the first significant legal document they sign in the country. Often in Hebrew. Often under time pressure. Often without fully understanding what they're agreeing to.
Understand everything you need to know before you sign: how Israeli rental contracts actually work, what landlords routinely ask for, what the market looks like in the various cities across Israel, what utilities cost, and what your rights are if things go wrong.

Year 5786 (תשפ"ו) went out strong.
Two webinars where I got to sit with a panel of well seasoned and very knowledgeable realtors and mortgage brokers, digging into what actually happens when someone buys a home in Israel, the process, the pitfalls and answering questions that came up from the conversation in real time.
And then this: standing in front of 80 incredible women entrepreneurs, talking about what it really means to hold it all, being a mother, a miluim wife, and running a business. Not the highlight reel version. The real one.
Grateful for a year that keeps reminding me why I do this work. Looking forward to seeing what 5787 תשפ"ז has in store for me!

The Real Cost of Buying Property in Israel (It's More Than the Price Tag)
Most buyers focus on the purchase price. But in Israel, that number is only the starting point.

Here's what actually belongs in your budget:

Purchase tax: calculated on a sliding scale based on the property value and your status. For foreign residents and investors, it can reach 8% or more on the upper bracket.

Legal fees: typically 0.5%–1.5% plus VAT of the purchase price.

Real estate agent commissions: around 2% plus VAT from each side separately.

Appraiser: required for mortgage borrowers. Even cash buyers benefit from one, especially where zoning rights are uncertain.

Mortgage broker fees: typically 1% of the loan amount. Worth every shekel given the complexity of Israeli mortgage products.

Structural inspection: a few thousand shekels. Not legally required. Strongly recommended.

Currency conversion: if you're wiring money from abroad, exchange rate fluctuations between signing and payment dates can move the real cost meaningfully. It is worth comparing the transfer fees between the bank rates and exchange companies.

Land Registry registration fees: modest, but real.

A reasonable rule of thumb: add 10- 13% on top of the purchase price for all associated costs. Know that number before you fall in love with a property.

Renting vs. Buying: The Decision Most Olim Face First
For many English-speaking Olim, the question of whether to rent or buy is one of the first major decisions they face after making the move, and sometimes even before it.

A few principles worth keeping in mind:

Buying tends to make sense when the buyer intends to stay long-term, has access to sufficient capital or financing, and is purchasing in a market where values are stable or likely to appreciate. Buying also provides security of tenure that renting simply does not offer in Israel.

Renting tends to make sense when the buyer is still uncertain about long-term plans, is new to Israel and still learning which communities feel like home, or does not yet have the financial resources to make a purchase comfortably. Renting provides flexibility, and flexibility has real value.

Neither option is without its challenges. Rental prices in many parts of the country have risen sharply, and tenants can face significant disruption at the end of each rental period. Property prices have climbed steeply over the past two decades.

What matters most in either case: the transaction is handled carefully, the documents are reviewed and understood, and the rights and obligations of all parties are clearly established in writing.
