What the prices tell us

Three patterns shaping value this month

Nairobi houses cost 9× Kajiado

Median house sale price in Nairobi is KSh 98.5M versus KSh 11.3M in Kajiado — the widest spread across counties this month.

How we count rents has changed

From 1 Sep 2026, this report counts every rental listed per month. Earlier rent figures covered only a small share of listings, so they aren't compared here. Not comparable with the same month last year.

Nakuru is the value play

Nakuru house prices are up 144% year on year but still 34% 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 September 2026, grouped by category, property type, bedrooms, county and town. Median (not mean) keeps a single outlier from skewing the number.
