RESURGENCE OF KISUMU REAL ESTATES

images (1)As far as the construction of residential and commercial houses is concerned, Kisumu real estates have developed a commendable pace. Majority of developers have concurred that the outcome of 2013 March general election contributed a lot in the development of Kisumu real estates by the lake side region. It was speculated that the newly elected Governor with county development policies would boost and improve planning and expansion of infrastructure within the Kisumu County. Apart from the post election violence that scared away the investors and left the people of Kisumu terrified some years ago, Kisumu real estates have grown splendidly. A survey conducted by Kenya economic survey in the year 2012, Kisumu is one of the urban areas that have created a massive employment in the Real estate agencies, construction, banking and insurance.

An economist have analyzed that the recent road project within the city would extremely boosted the rate of Kisumu real estates within the region. According to West Kenya Real Estate, the components of the road project within Kisumu county would transform the entire face of Kisumu city hence attract more investors into the region. West Kenya Real Estate Marketing Executive Evans Otieno says “the changing economic temperature has increased demand for up market homes and apartments. Currently, the demand for both completed and under-construction properties in Milimani area has surpassed the common mwananchi’s pocket”, says Mr. Otieno.

More than a decade ago, private developers have been scrambling for spaces considered to be Prime to construct commercial and residential buildings. The firm and steady grow of the real estates in Kisumu also attracted Kenya living abroad to invest in this thriving business. Now nearly 60% of the people living abroad own the properties in real estate sector in Kisumu city. ”majority of the clients comes from USA, UK, South Africa, South Sudan among other countries” says William a property agent. The Diaspora investors and local investors have turned to homes exhibitions to tighten their grip on the lucrative market. The exhibitions which are also known as expos are normally held twice annually.

Although as the Kisumu real estates subsectors shift to top gears, the prices of properties have not been spared at all. The current construction of infrastructure is also a major factor to consider. For instance buying a 1/8 Acre piece of land opposite the Kisumu international airport is around Kshs900, 000 to kshs1.1M, an area where investor avoided hastily five years ago. Currently investors are eying the area so that they can reap from the airport by constructing commercial and residential buildings.

If you take drive from the city today you’ll witness a resurgent Kisumu real estates subsector from the ruins of post election violence more than a decade ago. For example, some of the commercial buildings that we’re reduced to wreckage have been reconstructed back and the ongoing construction of several storey building within the Kisumu CBD will spur the Kisumu real estates within Kisumu County. The accessibility of several banks and financial institution which offers loan and mortgage facilities within the region can easily explain the high rate of construction in the area.
