As summer approaches, the ‘rental season’ has begun.  Turnover of tenants usually occurs between June and end of August.  For those looking to move in July/August, it may still be a little too early to find the right place but it is certainly the right time to start putting out your feelers.    I already have a waiting list of at least six families looking for certain types of homes to rent this summer.

Most Israeli landlords set the rent in Shekels these days.  Last year, when the Dollar devalued significantly against the Shekel, many got badly burnt and received a lot less in Shekels than what they had expected.  To play it safe, they now fix the rent in Shekels.  Where the owners are foreign, it is more common to fix the price in Dollars,  sometimes using a minimum exchange rate in order to ensure that they receive a certain amount in Shekels no matter what.

Currently, monthly rental prices in Buchman are as follows (approximately):  

4-rooms: $1000

5-rooms: $1250

5-rooms with garden: $1350

6-rooms:  $1450-$1650

7+-rooms: $1700-$2200
