City summary
- Apartment transactions in the month: 25

The June summary for Bat-Yam is based on 25 transactions — a moderate sample, and this should be kept in mind when looking at monthly dynamics. The median price per square metre across the city was 27,697.37 shekels, the median transaction amount was 1,890,000 shekels, and compared to the previous month, the price per metre declined by 11.87%. Such a marked shift over a single month usually 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 breakdown by neighbourhood confirms this: the spread of monthly dynamics is very wide — from a decline of 30.93% in Darom-Maarav (South-West) and 28.38% in Tzafon-Maarav (North-West) to growth of 23.71% in Vatikim (Old Timers) and 12.79% in Amidar. However, in most neighbourhoods the number of transactions in the month is minimal — from one onwards.
