Why Kenyans are looking abroad for real estate property investments

Kenyans are increasingly looking beyond their borders to invest in homes, driven by a mix of local and international factors.

One significant reason is the growing challenges within the Kenyan Real Estate market, such as high property prices, land disputes, and an oversupply of high-end properties that don’t match the demand for affordable housing. These issues have made local investments less attractive, prompting Kenyans to explore markets abroad.

Moreover, the appeal of more stable and transparent Real Estate markets in countries like the United States has drawn Kenyan investors. In the U.S., for instance, the availability of affordable credit, favorable laws, and higher returns on investment make it an attractive option.

Additionally, the ease of investing in international markets through Real Estate Investment Trusts (REITs) and other financial instruments has opened up opportunities for Kenyans to diversify their portfolios without the complexities of physical ownership.

Furthermore, dual citizenship, as allowed under Kenya’s constitution, enables Kenyans to invest in foreign markets without losing their Kenyan citizenship, making it easier to manage properties abroad. The prospect of securing a more stable and lucrative future for their families is also a motivating factor, particularly for Kenyans with children studying or living abroad.

This shift highlights the changing dynamics in the Kenyan Real Estate market, where local challenges and global opportunities are influencing investment decisions.

This trend is supported by a broader pattern of Kenyans seeking to safeguard their wealth and ensure better returns by investing in more predictable and mature markets abroad. As the local Real Estate market continues to grapple with these issues, this trend is expected to grow.
