The Increasing Interest of Foreign Buyers towards Judea and Samaria.

If you have been looking for an investment opportunity in Israel, alongside a value and lifestyle investment, then balancing purpose and functionality, Judea and Samaria might just be perfect for you.

Over the years, we’ve always successfully helped a number of foreign buyers looking for ideal homes here. Our services always tend to cater to families looking to accommodate and expand or people looking to invest. Regardless of the situation, this area has amazing possibilities for people that are genuinely different from the rest of Israel.

Top 5 Reasons Foreign Buyers Are Choosing Judea and Samaria

1. Foreign Citizens Do Not Pay Purchase Tax.
   • Foreign buyers can approach various areas beyond the borderline, and they do not have to pay Israel’s Mas Rechisha (purchase tax). As a buyer, this option means saving thousands of dollars.
2. Affordable Prices: Get More Value for Less.
   • Places such as Efrat, Ma’ale Adumim, and Shiloh have affordable pricing coupled with quality accommodation. Therefore, unlike in Jerusalem or Tel Aviv, these places are comparatively cheaper. This translates to better value giving most buyers an opportunity for improved accommodation or enhancing the overall housing experience.
3. Active English Speaking Communities  :
   • The first thing you notice when you visit is your new surrounding and how hospitable and devoted the people are. You will encounter lots of English speakers, active synagogues, and close-knit friendship circles.
4. Tranquility, Close to the City:
   • Places such as Efrat are only about a 15-minute drive from Jerusalem. You get the space, the views, and the tranquility of having a suburban way of life, while maintaining access to the city, should you need it.
5. Options in New Construction
   

   As many townships in the area have been developing, it is often possible to buy back in the pre-construction phase, enjoy affordable customization and layouts, and reasonable payment plan options. This would be ideal if you are looking at a long-term investment or aliyah at some point down the road.

Important Things to Know

Buying in Judea and Samaria is a tad different than buying elsewhere in Israel. It is not complicated, but it is good to be aware of the following:

• Most properties are under the Civil Administration and not under the Israeli Land Authority.

• Some homes are listed and registered differently: either purchased through Minhal or by contract with the stated entity. This points to the importance of having legal advice.

• Not all banks offer mortgages for homes in Judea and Samaria, so it is best to explore your financing and options early on.

• Most importantly, work with people who know the area and have experience buying properties in Judea and Samaria. It will make a big difference and is less stressful.

Community Spotlight: Efrat

The town of Efrat should be on your list if you have yet to make a visit there. Efrat lies directly south of Jerusalem as a developing town which features numerous parks and playgrounds together with top-rated schools and a substantial number of English-speaking residents.

We have supported numerous home buyers, primarily families, who purchased properties in this location. The town provides Jerusalem-level quality living without both the high expenses and busy population density.
