Days on market in City Center
We do not yet publish a days-on-market median for City Center — that requires at least 20 removed listings carrying a dated publication, and this neighborhood is below the gate. For the citywide figure — the median time from first publication to detected removal across all tracked Tel Aviv-Yafo listings, with its full method — see days on market in Tel Aviv.
Rental yield in City Center
A City Center apartment let at the neighborhood’s median asking rent returns a gross rental yield of 2.96% — 0.19 percentage points above the citywide 2.77% (July 2026). That is 141 ₪ per square metre per month in rent (n = 142 tracked rental listings, median ask 10,850 ₪/month) against 57,321 ₪ per square metre to buy.
The figure is gross: it does not subtract arnona, va’ad bayit, management, insurance, vacancy, or rental income tax, so a landlord’s net return is materially lower. Both sides are asking snapshots of tracked listings — not signed leases or registered sales — and the rent and sale panels are different apartments, which is why the two are joined per square metre rather than as a rent-to-price ratio. Method, the full neighborhood table, and why Tel Aviv yields sit near 2.77%: rental yield in Tel Aviv. Rent levels on their own — median asking rent by neighborhood and by apartment size — are on Tel Aviv rent prices.
