Israeli real estate developer Av-Gad Holdings has launched what it describes as the country’s first home “trade-in” program for buyers purchasing new apartments, modeled on car trade-ins. Under the initiative, homeowners can hand over their existing property as part of the payment toward a new residence, simplifying the process of upgrading living space. The program is aimed at helping people who are “stuck” in older flats and want to move without the hassle of selling first. This initiative reflects innovation in Israel’s real estate market, potentially easing transactions for homeowners and developers alike.
