The Very First Federal Bank of Namibia has reported the lowest yearly growth rate ever for housing prices, 3.7 percentage year over year.

The quantity index saw a growth of 27.4%; this gain was mostly brought on by the acquisition of reduced homes, which has increased demand for property in Namibia. Because of the global epidemic that the nation is still recuperating from, the decline in housing prices has reached a crucial point.

The Government of Namibia examined past modifications in lending laws; lower amounts are now needed to buy rental properties, which has greatly increased demand for real estate. This was done to encourage investors’ behavior of investors. The latest craze is to buy a house and put it on the rental market. People now prefer to rent a home temporarily instead of buying the property, changing the narrative surrounding land ownership. Growth in the marketplace for real estate renting is an effect of declining home values.

People are now renting their homes instead of purchasing them, which has transformed the economy. Owners sell houses, and when the time to resale those assets close, the industry is swamped with the property; as a result, individuals would choose to rent a house temporarily instead of buying it in the hopes that property values will drop even further.

Just one remedy is a move to commercial property and infrastructure solutions because of the transition from a housing market where inventory seems almost equivalent to the desire for property investment to one where unnaturally high housing costs are dominant.
