Meter - Israeli Real-Estate Intelligence
A free, no-signup real-estate intelligence platform I built and run - real sale prices (not listings) mapped across 648 neighbourhoods in 131 cities, price trends, affordability ratios and a full purchase-tax, mortgage and rent-vs-buy calculator suite, from official government data.
Scope: Solo build: government-data ingestion, transaction map, price indices, comparisons, full calculator suite - live at meter.my.
A self-initiated real-estate intelligence platform I built and run - live at meter.my. It turns official Israeli property-transaction data into something a buyer can actually use: real sale prices (not listings) mapped across 648 neighbourhoods in 131 cities, price trends, affordability ratios, and a full suite of purchase-tax, mortgage and rent-vs-buy calculators. Free, no signup, Hebrew-first.
The Challenge
Buying an apartment in Israel means guessing. Listing portals show asking prices, not what places actually sold for; the official transaction data exists but is locked in clunky government registries; and the maths (purchase tax, mortgage, appreciation, rent-vs-buy) is scattered across spreadsheets. People make the biggest decision of their lives on advertising and gut feel.
The Solution
Built a data platform that ingests official sources - the Tax Authority (שע"מ), Central Bureau of Statistics, Bank of Israel and Ministry of Transportation - and turns them into an interactive transaction map (price per m² across 648 neighbourhoods in 131 cities), quarterly price-trend indices with district breakdowns and affordability ratios, side-by-side neighbourhood comparisons (price, quality of life, education, safety), a fair-price validator against comparable recent sales, and a full calculator suite (purchase tax, mortgage, affordability, appreciation tax, rent vs buy). Hebrew-first, colour-coded heat maps, no registration required.

“I built Meter because buying a home here meant trusting listing ads instead of real data. It puts official transaction prices and the actual maths in one free, no-signup place - take a real-world problem, ground it in honest data, and ship it properly.”
