• Finding Your Dream Home: What to Look for Before You Buy or Rent

  Finding your dream home sounds simple until you actually start looking. Suddenly, there are dozens of neighbourhoods to consider, hundreds of listings to scroll through and a long list of things you didn't realise you cared about. Is the apartment big enough? Is the neighbourhood convenient? Can you afford it comfortably? And what about parking, security, water and internet? It is easy to get carried away by a beautiful living room or a great view. But before you fall in love with a property, there are a few things worth considering.

• Is Kenya’s Property Market Becoming a Buyer’s Market?

  Are Kenyan buyers gaining more negotiating power? When buyers have more options to choose from, sellers may have to compete harder for their attention. As of July 2026, the average commercial bank lending rate stood at 14.39%, down from 17.2% in November 2024. For anyone looking to buy or sell property in 2026, understanding that shift may be just as important as understanding the property itself. I came across a story recently about how the US property market is slowly shifting in favour of buyers. For years, sellers had the upper hand, but new data shows that sellers now outnumber buyers by 58%, the widest gap recorded since Redfin began tracking the data in 2013. Homes are also staying on the market for longer, with almost five months of inventory available. What caught my attention, however, was not just what is happening in the US.

• Real Estate Trends in Kenya in 2026: What Buyers, Renters and Investors Need to Know

  While residential property prices have continued to rise, the pace has been relatively moderate. Road access, schools, hospitals, shopping centres, workplaces and other amenities can make an area more attractive over time. Current market data shows a significant gap between rental prices across different locations, with Nairobi continuing to record some of the country's highest rents. Real estate in Kenya is changing, but not necessarily in the dramatic way headlines sometimes suggest. In 2026, the market is being shaped by a mix of affordability, changing buyer preferences, financing conditions, infrastructure, technology and the continued demand for housing. For anyone looking to buy, rent, develop or invest in property, understanding

• How Much Rent Can You Afford in Nairobi in 2026?

  It is very easy to find a house you love, only to realise that it does not fit your budget. Rental prices vary significantly depending on where you look and the type of property you want. If your rental budget is between KSh20,000 and KSh40,000, you have quite a few neighbourhoods to consider, particularly outside Nairobi's most expensive areas. Before you start viewing houses, work out what you can comfortably spend each month, including your other regular expenses. Then look at the neighbourhoods and property types that fit that budget. Looking for a house to rent should always start with one major question: How much can I afford? Most people, however, start with t

• Small Space, Big Style: Interior Design Ideas for Apartments

  Before buying furniture or decorating, look at how you actually use each room. Furniture with built-in storage can also help reduce clutter, particularly in bedrooms and living areas. A neutral base can make a room feel bright and provide flexibility, but you can introduce colour through cushions, artwork, curtains, rugs or even an accent wall. Living in an apartment often means making the most of the space you have. You may have a beautiful living room, but it also needs to accommodate your sofa, dining area, television, storage and perhaps even a small workspace. Your bedroom has to fit your bed, clothes and everything else you need without feeling crowded. The good news is that a smaller space does not mean you have to compromise on
