While websites like Yad2 show you what people want for their apartments, the Israel Tax Authority’s Nadlan Gov portal shows you what people actually paid.

If you are looking to buy or sell, understanding actual real estate prices in Israel is the most powerful tool in your arsenal to ensure you aren't overpaying. This guide will help you navigate the official government database like a pro.

The "Instant Translation" Shortcut

The Nadlan portal is primarily in Hebrew. Before starting, ensure you are using Google Chrome. Look at the right side of the address bar for the Google Translate icon.

Click it and select English; the site will instantly translate the search fields, making the government data accessible even if your Hebrew is still a work in progress.

Step 1: Choosing Your Search Method

On the homepage, you will see two main tabs for locating a property under Transaction Location (מיקום העסקה):

By City/Street (לפי ישוב/רחוב): The easiest way for most users.
By Block/Plot (לפי גוש/חלקה): Used for finding specific land registry data.

Key Fields to Fill:

City (ישוב): Start typing and select from the dropdown.
Street (רחוב): Start typing the street name.
House Number (בית): Enter the specific building number.

Hebrew	Transliteration	English Translation
ישוב	Yishuv	City / Town
רחוב	Rehov	Street
מס׳ בית	Mispar Bayit	House Number
גוש	Gush	Block (Tax Land ID)
חלקה	Helka	Plot (Tax Land ID)

Step 2: Using Government Data to Track Real Estate Prices in Israel

To get an accurate picture of the market, you must define the Transaction Data (נתוני העסקה). This is where you filter to find properties comparable to yours.

1. Property Type (סוג הנכס)

Select the category that matches your search:

Residential Apartment: דירת מגורים
Building: בניין
Land: קרקע
Agricultural Land: קרקע חקלאית

2. Timeframe (תאריך העסקה)

To understand current real estate prices in Israel, you need recent data.

You can choose:

Last 3 months (ב-3 החודשים האחרונים)
Last 12 months (ב-12 החודשים האחרונים)
Custom range (מותאם אישית)

3. Specific Characteristics (Advanced)

You can further narrow your search by entering "From" (מ) and "Until" (עד) values for:

Estimated Value (שווי מוערך): The price range.
Rooms (חדרים): Number of rooms in the apartment.
Area (שטח): Square meters (Sqm).
Year of Construction (שנת בניה): To find newer vs. older buildings.

Dropdown menus for "Property type" in English and Hebrew, showing options like "Residential apartment" and "Building," on a blue background.

Dropdown menus show "Transaction date" options in English and Hebrew, including "In the last 3 months." Blue background.

Step 3: Comparing "Asking" vs. "Sold"

The real power of this tool is comparing these results to Yad2 listings.

Yad2: Shows the "Asking Price" (often inflated by 5-10%).
Nadlan Gov: Shows the "Sold Price" (the final reality).

If you see an apartment on Yad2 for ₪3,000,000, but the Nadlan portal shows three identical units in the same building sold for ₪2,750,000 recently, you have the data you need to negotiate fairly based on current real estate prices in Israel.
