Property in Kenya is 3 times more expensive than in Ghana. It's better designed with ample nature around it as well.

jl115:
how is that a good thing?

rvp20182:
How is it a bad thing? Property values rise with development including infrastructure around it.

Just30:
Its a bad thing when you cant afford it and have to live in the numerous slums around Nairobi
Even those small property prices, you cant afford

rvp20182:
Lack of proper housing has little to do with property prices. It's more income or poverty question.The only way to avoid slums is perhaps for gov to get into housing and subsidize the cost of housing. Otherwise like everything - housing, food - etc - slums - are reality in 3rd world countries - including South Africa.

Just30:


it is not a lack of proper housing
there are plenty of proper housing sitting empty in kenya


Exactly, it is a poverty issue hence why you cant afford those peasant priced houses.

gallivant:
We are ahead of Ghana, did you miss that?

rvp20182:
But most of your country's urban areas are essentially a slum. So in fact deliminating what a slum is and what isn't - is just not possible in most West Africa cities. That is why your properties are so cheap like in Kenya slums.

I call them Slumpolis.

Here is picture of Nairobi - you can see the slum and non-slum. You don't expect properties in Nairobi to seriously cost the same as Ghana slumpolis

In some instances it is a good thing. Especially if you are an investor in real estate in a rich economy.
But in a poor economy, it is not a good thing as many will be driven to live in slums.

There is only one slumpolis in Africa and that is kenya

Ofcourse your properties wont cost as much as our because Kenyan properties lack design and services required

At last, IMF listen to the cry of uhuru ....78 billion shilling will be landing on Kenya central bank account soon. . Kenya demand for 1.5 billion dollar but she get a half of that cash. I am sure IMF is trying to be careful here.

You went 360 degrees. Ghana properties competing with Kenya properties how is that possible.

jl115:
The property prices in Kenya are 10X more expensive than in South Africa.....does that mean Kenya has better infrastructure?

Just30:
NOW YOU ARE RANTING

GHANAIAN PROPERTIES ARE NOT IN COMPETITION WITH POOR HOUSING IN KENYA

THEY ARE WAY BETTER THAN THAT

rvp20182:
Like Mzanzi told you - kenya properties are even more expensive than South Africa. Don't talk real estate - Hobbit. This is way above your paygrade. You're talking about little Accra and Kumasi

THE INTENT IS NOT TO SINK KENYA, EVEN MORE, DEEPER INTO DEBT AS IT MULTI FACE BANKRUPTCY UNVEILS ITSELF
