How HouseIndex builds its information

Price, street and surroundings become useful when you know what is being compared. Here is how to read the data and use it when choosing a home.

A common basis for price comparisons

Price references use public Central Bureau of Statistics data grouped by city and room count. A city average provides a market reference. Compare an individual home using its street, floor area, level, lift, parking, safe room and outdoor space as well. Selection pages show the amount and unit alongside calculation tools.

Interior and outdoor space

Record interior area, terrace, garden, roof and storage separately when comparing two homes. Dividing price by interior area provides a more consistent comparison. A terrace or garden serves different purposes, so consider its dimensions, connection to the living area, privacy and orientation too.

Reading a street through the map

Tel Aviv combines open municipal information with OpenStreetMap; Herzliya and Netanya streets and places use OpenStreetMap. Selection pages and neighbourhood guides identify the search reference point. Choose a category and radius to explore cafés, education, health, transport and services around your own priorities.

The same places on the map and in the list

Changing the category or radius changes the surroundings shown. The list and map markers refer to the same result set, and each place can be opened for further detail. Categories help you focus on your own routine: morning coffee, schools, transport or municipal services. Compare each area against a defined priority.

Neighbourhood boundary, reference point and distance

A municipal outline appears where an identified source boundary has been verified. The Ir Yamim guide searches from a reference point on Benny Berman; Kochav HaTzafon also displays its municipal neighbourhood boundary. The search circle is a straight-line radius. Plan the actual walk from the precise building entrance through suitable paths and crossings.

Layout, building and identified apartment

A catalogue plan describes the dimensions and arrangement of a layout type. Building, floor and apartment identities are kept separately. Project briefs link to plans and let you compare interior and balcony areas, then include the option that interests you in an enquiry. Match a plan to an apartment using its specific identity.

Understand what an image represents

Location photographs are identified through captions and credits. Architectural design ideas are identified in their captions and illustrate possibilities for space and style. When choosing a home, consider its photographs, floor plan and surroundings separately. Sea views, daylight and orientation are assessed from the relevant floor and rooms.

Figures to take to a viewing

Budget tools accept your own amounts and return a written result. Selection-page calculator inputs are processed in your browser. Print the page or download a data brief, then add the measurements and questions that matter for your viewing. A WhatsApp enquiry includes the page title and link so the conversation retains its context.

How do you read calculator results?

Calculations use the amounts you enter. Monthly remainder is budget minus housing payment and regular costs. Building comparisons add 12 months of management and other monthly expenses to additional annual charges; monthly average is annual total divided by 12. Price per square metre uses the area basis labelled beside the tool.

Information updates and contact

Have a local detail to update or a question about a comparison? Call +972-52-5101555 or use WhatsApp, identifying the page and relevant detail. The service channels also support accessibility and privacy requests. All seven language editions link to the same page context, so you can continue your research and share it with someone searching locally or abroad.
