What the prices tell us

Three patterns shaping value this month

Nairobi houses cost 10× Kajiado

Median house sale price in Nairobi is KSh 98.2M versus KSh 9.7M in Kajiado — the widest spread across counties this month.

Rents easing year on year

Median 2-bed rent is down 21.2% year on year across Kenya. That is a softer move than the 118.8% shift on house sale prices.

Kilifi is the value play

Kilifi house prices are up 173% year on year but still 56% below Nairobi, drawing more value-led buyers each month.

About this report

How we measure price.

This report uses the median price of every active listing on Kenya Property Centre in May 2026, grouped by category, property type, bedrooms, county and town. Median (not mean) keeps a single outlier from skewing the number.
