The real question is not only whether the specific flat you saw in Neve Shamir at the quoted price is still available; it is how quickly any well-priced unit moves in one of Israel’s fastest-growing communities. In new neighbourhoods like Neve Shamir the rental market moves very fast, and an attractively priced apartment is often taken within hours or a day or two of being listed.
Neve Shamir (also known as Ramat Beit Shemesh Hey) has been in a phase of rapid growth, with new buildings handed over to owners on a rolling basis. Many of those owners are investors who want to let their units quickly, which adds supply, while strong demand from young families keeps the market tight. Rents for new 4-room (3-bedroom) units here vary by building, floor, finish and the state of the market, and have risen as the neighbourhood has matured, so the figure on any single listing should be checked against current, live listings rather than treated as a fixed market rate.
Because pricing moves with the market, treat a single advertised number as a starting point, not a guarantee. The chances that one specific apartment is still available are low if it has been listed for more than a day or two. The practical takeaway is the same regardless of the exact rent: do not fixate on one listing. Stay in constant contact with local agents, keep your deposit and references ready, and be prepared to view and decide quickly when a suitable unit appears, because a comparable one is usually listed again within days.
