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

It's about time I stopped paying rent! Give me a good piece in a good neighborhood and if I can afford, I'll buy. I am a man (I hope sod'oh! )!

yes the market has slowed but dont open the champagne bottles yet.as i said there is pent up demand and once the interest rates go back down to the level of 11-15% expect prices to rise again.if you have cash this is the best time to try and negotiate a good deal.

I agree with Itz, is sounds like now might be a good time as any to buy land....A friend just negotiated a nice piece of land for much less than what his neighbours paid 2 - 3 years ago. It could have been a stroke of luck on his part but it could also mean that there are not enough buyers hence the "desperation" by the seller to offload it at a discounted price. We shall see what happens when the rates go down further.

Rentals seems to be doing ok but in some areas investors are not making nothing they are struggling to repay loans.

We also need to be told what's the proportion of properties being held by investors and have not been sold?

The number of holiday homes and golf resorts is a bit alarming. Who will soak up all these properties if we keep on developing golf cities
