Jerusalem Real Estate Resilience & Washington Market Trends

Jerusalem's real estate market demonstrates unique stability during wartime. Unlike many countries where conflict leads to price drops, Jerusalem sees a slowdown in transactions but prices hold steady. This is attributed to a persistent housing shortage, limited land availability, and strong underlying demand, particularly from overseas buyers seeking a foothold in Israel amid rising global antisemitism.

In contrast, Washington state's housing market is experiencing increased inventory and relatively low-interest rates. Active listings statewide increased almost 28% in February 2026 compared to February 2025. In Grant County, active listings were up 15.7 percent in February 2026 over February 2025, and in Adams County they increased by 69%, the second-highest increase in the state. Median sale prices were down slightly in Grant County, decreasing 2.38% to $341,629, while in Adams County the median price rose 3.82%, to $340,000. Statewide, the median home price was $620,000, a 1.6 decrease from February 2025.
