Now Tigger, you are talking. My understanding is, that would be your quote, in the trade world that is always the first step. Am personally surprised that daykio have raised the prices of their plots by 300k (from 500k to 800k). This means 1/4 is 1.6 mil which is beyond 12kilometres from the super-highway.
Why do people still buy land at high prices when they could probably buy it at a lower price in the same area??? Try walking into any open land and talk to the few residents around seeking sellers of land. If at all they will engage you in any talk, they will inform you that the owners of land adjacent to them are not selling or are away at work in urban centres. Alternatively, they will direct you to some land selling agents whose authenticity is not vouched. The fear of losing your money when searching for land to buy follows you like a shadow.
When it is land being sold by cooperatives where we are members or by churches that have acquired a block for subdivision or by long known land sellers, the price includes a premium. The fearful shadow of lose of hard earned cash disappears. Repute is one reason why the likes of daykio or joska or ndatani sell their land at a premium. Second, the kind of neigbhours one will live side by side with matter most. Land in dandora may be cheap – why are we running in the opposite direction??? Future worth, for whatever – check if the land you are about to buy will in beyond 2yrs, 5yrs, or 10yrs will be a greater reason why you acquired it in the first place.
Making quotations is free, in line with authenticity, repute, worth, etc – try to drive and buy on site, you wont.
