Housing Price Index

Housing Price Index kbaadmin May 12, 2022

In 2014, Kenya Bankers Association launched the KBA Housing Price Index (HPI) to provide market players and policy makers with an improved analytical tool that is useful for tracking the housing sector based on locational and qualitative and quantitative characteristics that influence pricing. The HPI which is published on a quarterly basis is computed using the hedonic pricing model, which estimates the price of a house from the imputed prices of the house characteristics.
