Hass Consult today unveiled a 'live' property price research app called My Hass Data, driven by an expansion in its data collection for the Hass property price indices, which now includes real-time price geo-mapping.
“We have in recent months moved to a new level of data collection on property pricing and development, mapping every building in Nairobi, and including data collection on commercial, retail and non-retail properties,” said Ms Sakina Hassanali, Head of Marketing and Research at Hass Consult.

The new data sets also include data lines on planning applications, purchase dates and historical pricing data.
Based on this expanded data set, the new My Hass Data App will allow users to research prices by suburb, or even street, size of property, or type, as well as rate of sales and vacancies.
“We expect this to be a best-in-class tool for any organisation or individual needing market information, conceiving investment strategies, or researching development concepts,” said Ms Hassanali.
“We see this as a real need. The Kenyan property market is now a more mature sector, and high returns rest on careful research into demand and uptake. There are areas where developers are even losing money, while others, who have investigated the market more thoroughly, are still making very high returns indeed.”
“Investments, businesses - even research into cost of living allowances – all of these decisions need up-to-date, relevant information, of a higher quality and greater depth than we have seen to date”.
The My Hass Data app will be available on the new www.hassindex.com website, on a variety of subscription packages.
