Have you ever wondered why smart people prefer to buy land during the rainy seasons in Kenya i.e. March- May and October-December? Well, the answer might surprise you!

While most people tend to shy away from buying land during the rainy seasons due to the wet and muddy conditions, smart people see this as an opportunity to make a smart investment. I, your friendly neighborhood land investment consultant, am here to break it down for you.

  1. Cost Savings
    With the ballooning prices of land, another advantage of purchasing land during the rainy season is the potential cost savings. During the dry season, many property owners may artificially raise prices due to the high demand. However, during the rainy season, there may be fewer buyers, and property owners may be more willing to negotiate prices. This means that you may be able to purchase land at a lower price, making it a more cost-effective investment.
  2. Gauge Accessibility
    When you buy plots during the dry seasons, all land and roads seem prime and passable. However, buying land during the rainy season offers a better perspective on whether the roads are accessible or inaccessible, especially the all-weather and murram roads. If inaccessible, that is a clear indication that you’ll face difficulties in the future thus helping you make a more informed decision about whether to buy the land
  3. Access land’s drainage
    During the rainy season, you can see how well the land drains and if there are any areas that are prone to flooding. It’s better to establish any potential drainage issues before buying a piece of land than to discover them after you’ve already made the purchase. Buying what you assumed was prime land only to find out later is only a swampy uninhabitable place would be a risky financial decision. On that note, keep an eye out for our next blog on the safest land buying process.

For one thing, it can be difficult to get around during the rainy season but with these reasons it beats all possible reason why you shouldn’t buy land during the rainy season.
