Survey: Many prefer building own homes to buying

Kenya: A majority of Kenyans aspiring to own a home say it will take them more than two years to realise their dream.

According to a housing survey released by Kenya Bankers Association (KBA) last week, 58 per cent of potential homeowners do not see themselves acquiring a home in the next two years, while 21 per cent of potential homeowners plan to acquire a home within the next one year, and the remaining 21 per cent in the next two years.
