The onslaught continues:
about 97,000 households registered for the fifth raffle for an apartment at a discount, which ended last night (Sunday) at midnight, offering about 7,037 eligible people to purchase an apartment at a significant discount in 17 localities throughout the country.
The list of localities participating in the fifth lottery: Petah Tikva, Rishon Lezion, Beer Ya'akov, Elad, Yavneh, Rosh Ha'Ein, Haifa, Harish, Safed, Netivot, Ashdod, Eilat, Katzrin, Nof HaGalil, Karmiel, Arad, Kfar Kasem.
This is not a large increase in registrants compared to the previous and fourth draw at the salon, where there were about 90,000 registrants for an amount of 6,500 apartments at a discount.
Still, the number of about 100,000 household couples, most of whom are young couples and families at the beginning of their journey, who are sitting on the fence, apparently, expecting prices to drop or waiting to win the lottery - gives the impression that the demand bottleneck will burst very soon, with about 90,000 Couples will receive a notification that they did not "win" an apartment at a significant discount from the state.
Still, what are your chances of winning an apartment at a discount?

This is of course a figure that varies depending on the localities you signed up for in the lottery, when you can see that Katzrin offers a relatively large number of apartments in the lotteries, and apparently the number of people who sign up for it will be relatively lower than those who sign up for the lotteries in the central cities, such as Elad, Rishon Lezion, Petah Tikva and Beer Ya'akov - Sheshem The number of apartments drawn is the same or higher than in Katsrin.
From a simple calculation, it can be understood that the chances are around 7% per household, so that 1 out of 15 registrants will be disappointed, when the lottery results are announced for the winners in the coming weeks.
