The Ministry of Housing has released the final numbers for its special housing sale campaign of last year for Jerusalem, Judea, Samaria, the Golan Heights and the Gaza Strip. Ministry sources were proud to announce that though the campaign took place during the heart of the Oslo War, the public purchased well over 1,000 new housing units in these critical areas.

Jerusalem’s Har Homa neighborhood led the way with 358 new units sold, followed closely by the city of Maaleh Adumim, just east of Jerusalem, with 317. Beitar Illit, to the west of the Jerusalem-Gush Etzion highway, came in third with 192 units sold, followed by Adam (southern Binyamin, north of Jerusalem – 67), nearby Kokhav Ya’akov (50), Ariel (Shomron – 49), Katzrin (Golan – 11), Efrat (Gush Etzion – 9) and Nisanit in the northern Gaza Strip (3).

Sales in Judea, Samaria and Gaza last year accounted for a full 9.5% of total Housing Ministry sales.
