Key findings

  • Kiambu is the most expensive of the 6 ranked counties to buy property, with a median asking price of KSh 23,000,000 across 532 listings.
  • The most affordable of the 6 ranked counties to buy is Kajiado, with a median asking price of KSh 8,500,000 across 282 listings.
  • Nairobi has the highest median rent, at KSh 140,000 per month.
  • Property that changed hands took a median of 576 days to sell and 65 days to let, measured from publication to the agent recording the deal.
  • A short let in Nairobi asks KSh 7,500 a night — the equivalent of a year’s rent in 19 nights.
  • Nairobi accounts for the largest share of the market, with 3,726 of the 5,747 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.

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.

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.

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.

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 5,000 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 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.
