Let's not try catching the canary Mugunda topics here.

Who said that going online is not the way of business? Who said that property firms will not succeed when they go online? Come on I teach that.

But that's not my point is it?

I'm talking about the source of your so called data.

Jumia - Is not a property firm. They are an online platform that charges developers to list their properties. Their motivation is very very clear. They have only one business agenda. Get as many Muganda's paying for their listings as possible.

Any "property analysis" is bound to be skewed towards the idea of "searches", "hits", "facebook likes" etc. Real information is just a sideshow.

As much as they have a school, the only way they will make money is by having everyone in Kenya buying their overpriced properties. That is why they have a newsletter that claims things like Nakuru is the new property center. Just because they are planning on selling some property in Nakuru in the next 5 years..

Again, skewed analysis for the benefit of their real business and getting more unwise clients.

Hass Consult

Again property developers who use the same "percentages" skills again to try sell their over priced properies in Upper Hill, etc

My fren

I don't have a problem with the business model. But heck. People like Mugunda, Jumia et al have a fiduciary duty to inform those that read these "analysis", that they have an interest in these reports.

It's called being ethical to the masses. It's a good thing you know.

Not trying to change the subject. I'm sure I will get a Mugunda post on how internet/tech has changed the values of property in the dust bowl. That's being unethical and you know it.
