Key findings

  • Kiambu is the most expensive of the 6 ranked counties to buy property, with a median asking price of KSh 22,000,000 across 603 listings.
  • The most affordable of the 6 ranked counties to buy is Kajiado, with a median asking price of KSh 8,500,000 across 281 listings.
  • Nairobi has the highest median rent, at KSh 130,000/mo.
  • Property that changed hands took a median of 573 days to sell and 65 days to let, measured from publication to the agent recording the deal.
  • The highest gross rental yield in the report is 13.53% on apartments in Westlands.
  • A short let in Mombasa asks KSh 10,000 a night — the equivalent of a year’s rent in 71 nights.
  • Nairobi accounts for the largest share of the market, with 8,211 of the 10,753 listings analysed.

Price rankings and comparisons cover counties holding at least a fifth of a percent of the listings in the busiest county for that category, and never fewer than 100 — a median drawn from a few dozen listings is not comparable with one drawn from tens of thousands. Every county that met the reporting threshold still appears in the tables below.

How fast the market moves

Measured from the date a listing was first published to the date its agent recorded it as rented or sold, over the last 12 months, for areas with at least 20 completed transactions. It covers only listings that transacted, so it is how long a completed deal took rather than how long a property should be expected to wait, and it depends on agents recording an outcome.

How asking prices are moving

Covers 11 Sep – 28 Sep 2026. Price changes have been recorded since 11 Sep 2026, so this quarter's figures begin there.

Sale listings repriced 0.3% share of live listings

Measured from advertisers' own changes to a listing's asking price during the quarter, as a share of the listings published at the time of the report. Corrections are left out: changes by our review team, changes within an hour of publishing, and moves of more than half the price. Days to a first cut counts listings published since 11 Sep 2026, the first day price changes were recorded. Figures are published only where at least 20 listings were repriced, and never for an individual listing.

Enquiries are phone and WhatsApp contacts made through the site over the 28 days to the date shown, counted once per person, listing, channel and day, across the same listings the price figures count. A listing's price position is its asking price against the median for comparable listings in its area, where at least 10 exist; listings priced in another currency have none. Figures are published for areas with at least 20 scored listings.

National asking prices

Method changed from Q4 2026 From Q4 2026, rent and sale figures come from the monthly Rent Index and House Price Index. The Q3 2026 figures below are as published, using the previous method: median asking price of listings created in the previous six months.

By bedroom count

A median moves when the mix of listings moves. These hold the bed count still, so a rise here is a price rise rather than a quarter that happened to attract larger homes. Sizes run to five bedrooms; larger homes and listings with no bed count are counted in every other figure on this page, but are too few to publish a median of their own.

Land by the plot

Land here is advertised by the plot, not as a whole property, so it is priced that way here too. These figures are quoted per plot and are not comparable with the property prices above; listings quoted per acre, per hectare or per square metre are excluded from both.

Gross yield is the median annual asking rent as a percentage of the median asking price for the same area and the same product — the same property type, or the same bed count. It is matched because the rented stock and the for-sale stock are different properties: dividing one area-wide median by the other reads about half the matched figure. It is indicative of the market rather than of any one property, is gross of service charge, agency fees and void periods, and is not published for land. Across Kenya as a whole, the apartment figure is 10.59%.

Short lets are quoted per night. The nights column is a year’s asking rent on the equivalent property divided by the nightly asking rate — how many booked nights would match a year as an annual let. It is not a yield and not a forecast: nothing here measures how often a property is actually occupied.

About this report

How we measure these figures.

Median and average of advertised asking prices, in KES, of every listing published on Kenya Property Centre when the report was generated. Cells with fewer than 20 listings are excluded, as are listings advertised in US dollars. So are listings asking below KSh 10 to rent or KSh 100 to buy, which are placeholder prices rather than real ones. Not every advertised price is a whole-property asking price. Those quoted per plot, acre, hectare or square metre, and those quoted by the night, week or calendar month, are excluded from the figures above. They are published in their own units, in the land and short-let sections. Short lets below KSh 1 a night are excluded on the same basis as the floors above.

Every price here is an advertised asking price, not a sold price, and the median is the headline figure — asking prices are heavily skewed, and a single high-value listing should not move an area's number.

Not every figure is. Days on market comes from agents' own records of a listing being rented or sold, over a different period and a different set of listings. It is measured beside the figures themselves, under how fast the market moves.

The repricing figures are shares of the market, drawn from advertisers' own changes to their asking prices during the quarter. No individual listing's price change is published. The basis sits under how asking prices are moving.

The enquiry figures come from contacts made through the site, counted once per person, listing, channel and day, over the 28 days before one scoring night near the quarter's end. The basis sits under where the enquiries are going.
