mir Davidson, only 27, has turned his family’s modest brokerage into a luxury‑real‑estate juggernaut that pulls foreign buyers from every corner of the globe to Israel’s most expensive homes. One of his most talked‑about listings is the “Infinity House” in Caesarea, a sprawling villa that sits on a single dunam (about a quarter of an acre) and covers roughly 750 m² of built space. The property is perched on a golf course, a stone’s throw from the Mediterranean, and boasts an endless garden that blends seamlessly into the course and a lakeside view.

    The estate offers almost total privacy, with only one neighboring property. Inside, guests find seven bedrooms, nine bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with natural granite countertops, a spacious home cinema, and a gym. The highlight is an infinity pool that overlooks a tranquil lake dotted with ducks. The house is listed at around 50 million shekels (≈$15.5 million), with the price negotiable and furnishings available for inclusion.

    Design-wise, the home marries natural materials and contemporary style. Warm cognac‑tinted wood floors, textured stone walls, and light‑hued, clean‑line furnishings create a bright, airy atmosphere that opens onto the surrounding greenery. The Caesarea area is managed by the private Caesarea Edmond Benjamin de Rothschild Development Corporation, which handles security and maintenance, making it one of Israel’s most coveted locales alongside Herzliya Pituah, Savyon, Tel Aviv, and Jerusalem.

    Davidson’s brokerage, Davidson Real Estate, markets this property and dozens of others, including a discreet villa listed at 140 million shekels (≈$43 million). His firm has built a global presence, especially among the Jewish diaspora, by harnessing technology, branding, and digital marketing. With over 150,000 social‑media followers and more than five million monthly views, the agency’s reach is largely organic.

    The digital push has attracted a steady stream of international interest, culminating in the sale of a six‑dunam Caesarea villa for 77 million shekels (≈$22 million) in 2025, a year marked by conflict. That transaction, completed through the agency’s social‑media channels, underscored the resilience of the luxury market even amid instability.

    Davidson’s clientele is overwhelmingly foreign—about 90 percent of buyers come from the U.S., Canada, France, South America, and Australia. They are typically high‑net‑worth individuals: business leaders, tech executives, pharmaceutical tycoons, and a few Russian oligarchs. Two main buyer profiles emerge. First, those contemplating Aliyah who seek a permanent, private home with amenities like a pool and a nearby synagogue. Second, those looking for a vacation property—a sea‑facing penthouse in Tel Aviv or a Jerusalem home overlooking the Western Wall—used only during their stays and left vacant otherwise.

    To address this, Davidson’s firm launched a property‑management arm that handles everything from cleaning and stocking the fridge to redesigning interiors and arranging private chefs and local experiences. Clients who invest tens of millions expect the highest standards, whether they’re staying in Israel year‑round or only during the summer.

    While Israeli buyers are present, they mainly appear on the seller side; the bulk of the market is international. Davidson’s listings range from 10 million shekels to several hundred million, with rentals starting at 50,000 shekels (≈$15,500) per month. A forthcoming property valued at around 1 billion shekels is slated for listing, though details remain confidential.

    Commission on each deal is 2 percent plus VAT. For wealthy buyers, location is paramount, but individual preferences vary: beachfront in Tel Aviv, quiet villas in Caesarea, or proximity to Jerusalem’s Western Wall. In Rehavia, for instance, properties can fetch $20 million due to the area’s heritage. Buyers often require spacious rooms, privacy, kosher kitchens with dual sinks, and a nearby synagogue—features that the agency customizes on demand.

    Beyond profit, Davidson sees his work as a mitzvah: connecting the Jewish diaspora to Israel. “If I can bring even one more Jewish family here, I’ve done my share,” he says.

    The war’s impact on the luxury market has been surprisingly positive. While other sectors saw declines, high‑end real estate prices rose. Global Jews, spurred by rising antisemitism and a desire to support Israel, viewed property purchases as both a safe haven and a statement of solidarity. A strong dollar—nearly four shekels to the dollar—made the investment even more attractive. Historically, post‑war periods in Israel have seen rapid market rebounds, sometimes with surges.
