What the prices tell us

Three patterns shaping value this month

Kwale houses cost 14× Kajiado

Median house sale price in Kwale is KSh 145.6M versus KSh 10.7M in Kajiado — the widest spread across counties this month.

Rents easing year on year

Median 2-bed rent is down 37.6% year on year across Kenya. That is a softer move than the 54.4% shift on house sale prices.

Kilifi is the value play

Kilifi house prices are up 46.4% year on year but still 69% below Kwale, 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 August 2026, grouped by category, property type, bedrooms, county and town. Median (not mean) keeps a single outlier from skewing the number.
