Real Estate Lawyer in Hod Hasharon

In Hod Hasharon, people buy new apartments from developers, resale apartments and private houses. My office is in Tel Aviv, and I represent real estate transactions in the city and across the central region: purchases and sales, review of the land registry extract and the contract, registration of a priority notice, and real estate taxation.

Neighborhoods and the housing market in Hod Hasharon

According to Madlan data (September 2026), the average apartment price in Hod Hasharon is about NIS 3.7 million and the average monthly rent is about NIS 8,500. About 600 apartments are listed for sale, including in the Hadar, Ramatayim and Magdiel neighborhoods. The text here is a checklist, not a description of any particular transaction.

How a transaction in Hod Hasharon works

1. Checking the registration: land registry (Tabu) extract, liens, priority notices and registration of the shared-ownership building.
2. Checking debts and building permits, and for a private house also the plot boundaries and building rights.
3. Negotiation and the contract, including payment and delivery dates.
4. A first payment made in a way that protects the money, and registration of a priority notice in favor of the buyer.
5. Reporting to the Real Estate Taxation Authority and payment of the tax.
6. Delivery and transfer of the rights to the buyer’s name.

What to check in Hod Hasharon

• A new apartment from a developer. A Sale Law guarantee for every payment, the payment schedule and index linkage, the delivery date and compensation for delay, and the technical specification.
• A resale apartment. Land registry extract, liens, debts and building permits for any additions.
• A house or garden apartment. Plot boundaries, additional building rights, and building permits for additions.
• Financing. In larger transactions it is advisable to coordinate the mortgage and the payment date with the bank before signing.

Purchase tax brackets, as of November 2026

A single residential apartment. The tax is calculated progressively, and each rate applies only to the part of the apartment’s value that falls within the bracket:

• Up to NIS 1,978,745: exempt from tax
• From NIS 1,978,745 to NIS 2,347,040: 3.5%
• From NIS 2,347,040 to NIS 6,055,070: 5%
• From NIS 6,055,070 to NIS 20,183,565: 8%
• Above NIS 20,183,565: 10%

An additional apartment (for example, for investment). There is no exempt bracket:

• Up to NIS 6,055,070: 8% from the first shekel
• Above NIS 6,055,070: 10%

For example, a single apartment worth NIS 2.5 million is subject to purchase tax of about NIS 20,500, while an additional apartment of the same value is subject to about NIS 200,000. The brackets for a single apartment are frozen until 15.1.2028. The rates for an additional apartment should be verified at the time of the transaction, since they were set by a temporary order.
