Recent data reveals a 14% year-on-year drop in property transactions in the first half of April, with rental demand also witnessing a noticeable slowdown. While many of these deals were initiated during peak tensions between Israel and Iran, the broader concern now is whether this is a short-term sentiment shock or the beginning of a deeper correction.
