IMF Country Report-Israel: Selected Issues
February 12, 2014--THE HOUSING MARKET IN ISRAEL1
Property prices in Israel are currently about 25 percent above their equilibrium value, owing largely to
low mortgage interest rates and supply shortages. The risk of a sharp correction in house prices, while mitigated by the supply shortages, remains a concern and could have important macro-financial implications. To contain such risks, macroprudential policies should be

Developments in the Housing Market 1
Against the backdrop of low interest rates and supply shortages, house price increases
have been ranmpant. Nominal house prices have risen by 80 since 2007. In response to the global financial and Euro Area crises, the Bank of Israel (BoI) engaged in two rounds of monetary easing. The monetary stimulus supported economic growth, but it also boosted demand in the mortgage and housing markets.
