Data from the Ministry of Finance reveals that the Jerusalem area shows a lower rate of capital losses among real estate investors compared to other parts of the country. About 27% of investors in Jerusalem who sold apartments after five years recorded losses, while the national average stands at 47.5%. In the southern region, the loss rate reaches 62%. Additionally, less than 7% of sales in Jerusalem in 2025 were of apartments held for up to five years, compared to about 25% in the south. The data indicates that Jerusalem investors tend to hold properties for a long time, with 63% of sales being apartments held for at least 20 years. Ben Naïm notes that the long-term holding may stem from a different investment horizon, as investors in the south often sell more frequently to mitigate losses. Nevertheless, she emphasizes that Jerusalem investors have not escaped losses over the years, but ultimately, most of them managed to profit from their investments.
