CHARACTER AND REPUTATION

 

Nothing unfavorable learned.

 

Subject is a veteran business.

 

The general improvement in local economy in 2010 was felt in the building sector. Investment in the local building branch rose by 5.9% in 2010. Investment in construction for dwelling rose by 4.1% in 2009 and by 13.8% in 2010, in annual calculation. These positive signs appeared after over the last several years gross domestic investment in building and other construction works was stagnant (after rising trends in 2006 and 2007). Gross domestic investment in building and other construction works grew by some 10% in 2010 (in current prices) after it increased in 2009 by less than 1% from 2008, mainly in private construction (less in public construction and in other construction).

Consumption expenditure of households in 2010 on Housing and on Housing Equipment grew by 2.5% and by 7.5%, respectively, in annual calculation.

 

Volume of building starts for dwelling in 2010 reached a decade record of 39,000 new apartments, 7% higher than 2009 (which marked 6.5% rise from 2008 and similar level to previous year). Total number of transactions in dwellings in 2010 also rose from 2009, continuing the growing trend from 2008, albeit in lower ratio (less than 1% rise in 2010).

In the first half of 2011, number of building starts rose by 15% from 2010, thanks to the Government marketing efforts, however cooled down in 2011 2nd half, which generally characterized the stagnation and even retreat in the local real estate market, chiefly apparent in the contraction in the number of transactions.

Housing prices over the last years kept rising due to the shortage in supply of new apartments, while demand kept rising, much due to structural fault in the allocation of plots in State hands. In view of avoiding a real estate bubble and allowing cheaper housing prices, the Israeli Government initiated recent reforms, designed to drive prices down in one hand, and increase supply on the other. Indeed, since mid 2011 there has been drop in prices in many areas. Buyers have been waiting prices to fall further while contractors await the prices to pick-up again. Demand fell due to the negative economic climate, and in the supply side the banks are shutting down credit to contractors.
