Copyright (c) 2012 Nir Hodara Recent months have seen a social protest of unprecedented proportions in Israel. The real estate situation in Israel, and especially the high prices of apartments in Tel and Aviv and Jerusalem was one of the major factors influencing the protests. Even though the first wave of protest seems to have settled down, the question still remains whether prices can continue to climb or will the market change. Jerusalem rent prices have become extremely high in recent years. Students and your couples may find it almost impossible to find affordable housing solutions in most of the city's neighborhoods. So why have Jerusalem apartments for rent become so expensive and what are the factors that influence the price? In order to understand why Jerusalem rent is so expensive, let's take a look at the local market and then continue to examine the specific Jerusalem real estate market. One of the main reasons real estate prices in all major urban cities in Israel have seen such high increases is simply the fact that available space is scarce. Most of the population of Israel is concentrated in just a few major cities. The steady natural growth of the population combined with a pace which some claim was too slow of new building projects caused prices to skyrocket. When it comes to Jerusalem apartments for rent are always in demand, not only because of the local market, but also because of international interest and because of the local cultural establishments and the Hebrew University. When you have families, students from all over the country and international buyers, all looking for available property, you are sure to see the reason why Jerusalem rent continues to rise. However, some experts claim that Jerusalem rent and rent all over Israel will see a new tendency and that prices will settle down and eventually may even see a steady decrease. The local population is getting more and more frustrated with the high price of living. Some claim that Jerusalem apartments for rent are becoming affordable for large sections of the population and therefore further drastic price increases are questionable. Be as it may Jerusalem rent will certainly not become cheap in the near future and continues to be among the highest in the local Israeli real estate market scene. It remains to be seen is the government in Israel will take a more active role in monitoring rent prices due to the recent wave of protests.
