The cost of an agent
The broker fee charged to the renter is roughly one full month's rent, and it varies with the rent. There is no single fixed number.
What we can't measure yet
These exist in the design, but the corpus isn't deep enough yet to publish a number.
Median days on market
not yetHow many days a listing sits on the market before it comes down. A median lands once enough listing life-cycles accumulate.
We don't have enough data for this yet
Signed-rent index
not yetThe median signed rent versus asking, by area. Published once there are enough anonymous contract contributions.
not yet enough signed-rent contributions to publish an area median
Methodology
The census is DirBalak's own measured count of rental listings it tracks: anonymized aggregate counts, never per-listing or owner data. Agent share is the AGENT-classified fraction of the corpus; masking is the share of agent listings whose address is not at street level. The crime context is the Israel Police open dataset rolled up to city totals, never a named-area ranking. Below a minimum sample a figure is withheld, not estimated; a withheld median is genuinely not yet derivable, never a proxy.
