The CBS data also show that about a quarter of all new apartments sold are concentrated in cities: Tel Aviv-Yafo, Rishon Lezion, Jerusalem and Ashkelon.

In the central area, there is a demand for 4,431 apartments, of which only 3,630 apartments were provided. Immediately after the central area, Israelis want to live in Tel Aviv (which is counted separately from the center), where there is a demand for 3,927 apartments, when in practice only 3,212 apartments were sold.
