If
you are thinking of relocating to Kisumu, it may interest you to know what a
buyers’ market is at this time. As we move into summer Kenya Real Estate
generally starts seeing more sales, and that is what we are seeing. Trans-lake
estate located only 4 kilometers from Kisumu Central business district, the
apartments are of the latest architectural designs and going for very
affordable rates.
With
all the issues in the national market and with the subprime mortgage crisis,
there was some worry that the market would not heat up in the summer but sales
appear to be on the increase. Buyers are seeing much better deals than they saw
this time last year.
The
economic outlook for Nairobi generally mirrors the Kenya forecast: local job
and population growth almost outperforms the national economy. The Kenya survey
conducted some years back predicts 3.1% job growth and the unemployment rate
for December 2013 was estimated at 3.6%, down from 5.1% in the Nairobi area
during October 2012.
Job
growth is expected in Kisumu’s traditional strong employment areas, such as
government, education, and health services. Kisumu is the third capital of
Kenya and seat of Kisumu County, which makes government a major employer.
Kisumu’s local, state, and centralized government employs more than 10,000
workers and that number is expected to increase. With the Maseno University and
over fifteen other colleges within 30 miles, Kisumu will need more educators.
Kisumu continues to employ many workers in the leisure and hospitality
industry, and large NGOs like healthcare employers are expected to add workers
in the near future. With the high quality of life and the increasing population,
Kisumu should see positive job growth through 2015.
The
quality of life and entertainment opportunities are another reason that Kisumu
is a bright and thriving city with a diverse cultural scene. Kisumu is rich
with fishing, farming, theaters, live music venues, tourist attraction areas,
excellent restaurants, and unique shopping centers, friendly and lovely people.
Population growth in Kisumu is driven by the high quality of life in the
region, with the area being ranked as a top destination for relocating singles
and families.
Buying
and selling of Kenya properties within Kisumu can be overwhelming so an
experienced realtor that will provide you with information, but won't pressure
you is advisable. They currently have over 4,000 properties to choose from in the
Kisumu, Kenya.
