Frequently asked questions
Why is Ashkelon cheaper than Ashdod?›
Ashdod is closer to the Tel Aviv metropolitan area and has a larger port-driven economy. Ashkelon trades a longer commute and a more peripheral job market for a lower entry price.
Does it make sense as a second home?›
It is a common choice for French-speaking buyers who want a seafront pied-à-terre at a moderate budget. Note that a second home is taxed in a higher acquisition-tax bracket — simulate the total entry cost first.
