Netanya’s new-build market is picking up. According to a quarterly real estate transactions review published by 90FM radio on 13 November, 258 new apartments were sold in the city in the third quarter of 2026 (July\u2013September). That is 56.1% more than in the second quarter, when roughly 165 new apartments found buyers.<\/p>\n
Alongside the new apartments, Netanya recorded 327 second-hand transactions over the same three months. In total, about 585 apartments changed hands in the city during the quarter, and around 44% of them were new \u2014 slightly above the national average.<\/p>\n
Across Israel, about 21,750 apartments were sold in the third quarter: 42.3% new and 57.7% second-hand. Developers are still holding a large stock, with about 85,080 new apartments unsold at the end of the period.<\/p>\n
A one-and-a-half-fold rise in a single quarter shows there is demand for new housing in the city, despite high prices and a large number of projects nationwide. For anyone thinking of buying, it is a reason to watch developers’ offers closely: when demand rises, room to negotiate usually shrinks. The 90FM report does not name the source of its data, so the figures are best treated as a guide.<\/p>\n
