The June summary for Bat Yam is based on 25 transactions — a moderate sample size worth keeping in mind when reviewing monthly dynamics. The median price per square metre across the city came to 27 697.37 shekels, the median transaction value was 1 890 000 shekels, and compared to the previous month, the price per metre declined by 11.87 %. Such a noticeable monthly shift typically reflects not a market reversal, but rather a difference in the composition of apartments sold that month (by size, condition, floor) — with a small number of transactions, such fluctuations are quite normal.
The district breakdown confirms this picture: month-on-month swings are very wide, ranging from a decline of 30.93 % in Darom-Ma'arav (South-West) and 28.38 % in Tzafon-Ma'arav (North-West) to growth of 23.71 % in Vatikim (Old-timers) and 12.79 % in Amidar. At the same time, most districts saw a minimal number of transactions for the month — from just one.
