The Kenya real estate market has witnessed significant growth based on the Kenyan National Bureau of statistics 2016 economic survey that said the country’s Gross Domestic Product had expanded by 5.6 per cent in 2015.

Besides agriculture, finance and financial, KNBS said, “Construction recorded the fastest growth of 13.6 per cent in 2015 compared to 13.1 per cent in 2014. Growth in construction activities was mainly driven by the ongoing public infrastructure development coupled with the resilient private sector’s expansion in the real estate sector. “

On the other hand, Central Bank of Kenya is optimistic that the performance of the economy remains strong, and they project a 6 percent growth this year with an optimistic private sector that is being supported by a macroeconomic stability, public infrastructure investment and the recovering tourism sector according to the MPC Market Perception Survey conducted in May 2016.
