Customer preferences:
Customers in Rwanda are increasingly looking for modern and well-designed residential properties. There is a growing demand for housing that offers amenities such as security, parking spaces, and green spaces. Additionally, customers are seeking properties that are located in convenient and accessible areas, close to schools, hospitals, and shopping centers.

Trends in the market:

This has had a positive impact on the residential real estate market, as more investors are entering the market and contributing to its development.

The country's strong economic growth has resulted in an increase in disposable income, allowing more people to afford housing.

Furthermore, the growing population and urbanization in Rwanda are driving the demand for housing. As more people move to urban areas in search of employment and better opportunities, the need for residential properties continues to rise. In conclusion, the residential real estate market in Rwanda is experiencing growth and development due to customer preferences for modern and well-designed properties, the construction of high-rise buildings, and the rise of affordable housing projects.
