i think so too.i would like to hear more from wazua realtors and people in the industry.However i think if cheap/cheaper credit comes back prices will rise again because there is pent-up demand

Lets see if desperate sellers will start reducing sale price.

Plot buyers have gone to the counties... people are possibly buying "cheap" as they await devolution.

have to agree with you. went to view some project in kitengela last week and they have sold only 5 or so plots since march. however the low end segment (plots under 200k mostly found along kangundo road) seems to be more active.

with the interest rates as high as they have been people this was bound to happen. If foreigners are also complaining the prices of land in kenya are ridiculous and they are not getting value for their money then...

Guys you are right that interest has cooled off and its mainly due to tight liquidity. But my bet if that once the first barrel of oil flows out of Ngamia 1 circa 2016, there will be a huge property boom. Be patient!

the VAT bill if passed in its current form will further exacerbate the situation here albeit indirectly
