Taking a mortgage is the largest financial decision for most Israeli families, yet comparing different mortgage tracks — Prime, fixed unlinked, CPI-linked, and variable — across banks is complex and requires understanding Bank of Israel regulations, LTV limits, and financing rules. Banks offer different mixes and different spreads on each track, and without proper comparison, borrowers can end up paying hundreds of thousands of shekels more over the loan''s lifetime. This skill enables track analysis, interest rate comparison, and understanding the total impact of each mortgage mix.
