  Kenya’s middle class is expected to grow as the economy expands. And as more people earn more, the need for decent housing is likely to grow too. But there is a difference between wanting a home and being able to afford one. Making middle-class housing more affordable will require more than simply building more homes.First, access to affordable mortgages needs to improve. Kenya’s housing market has a growing gap. There is strong demand for homes, but for many middle-income Kenyans, finding a home they can comfortably afford remains difficult. Developers are also feeling the pressure as they look for financing and try to understand what buyers actually need. According to industry players, this is pushing more developers to fo
