Counts of client records in Semerenko Group’s CRM with at least one demand field (segment, budget, desired place, origin or country). A figure is shown only with 20 or more records behind it; budgets are self-reported, converted at Bank of Israel rates where given in another currency, and trimmed of obvious errors. Not a sample of the market: it is who contacted us.

Method
- Source. Semerenko Group’s CRM (HubSpot), client records only, read on 2026-10-18. Fields used: segment, budget and currency, desired location, origin situation, country, created date.
- Privacy. Aggregates only. Names, phones, emails, addresses and deal details never leave the CRM; the index publishes counts and medians, and nothing with fewer than 20 records.
- Normalisation. Country names and places are standardised (for example “USA” and “United States”; “Ramat Beit Shemesh” counted under Beit Shemesh). Budgets in other currencies are converted at the Bank of Israel representative rate of the index date; purchase budgets below ₪300,000 or above ₪60 million and rent budgets outside ₪1,500 to ₪60,000 a month are treated as data errors.
- Bias. This is inbound demand to one English-speaking brokerage, so it over-represents Anglo buyers and under-represents Hebrew-speaking and French-speaking demand. It is a leading indicator of interest, not of transactions.
- Cadence. Rebuilt monthly; the previous month’s file stays available.
