How many square feet is a typical plot? And how much does it cost?

Do you guys think there should be a limit on diaspora owning property and land in Somalia, isn't contributing to prices going through the roof

How can a worker in somalia compete with someone with money from the west

The land either sits unutilised (occasional holdiay by the diaspora family) or locals are getting squeezed by high rents by diaspora landlords (which leave the country and thus the economy). The worst part without a doubt is the fact that they pay zero property taxes, its essentially a blackhole in the local economy.

Local governments should definately slap a fat tax on diaspora properties and invest in public services and social housing.

You know, i was going to take advantage of my financial position by investing on lands there in the future while it's still cheap, but i see the problem it causes when a wave of somali individuals from the diaspora jumps on the same trend. It creates a ton of short-term and long-term problems for the locals and the economy as you've pointed out.

I'm still going to buy land tough. If i don't do it, somebody else will. The outcome will still be the same, so would rather take advantage of the opportunity.

And don't forget that most of the lands in the country are mostly empty, the human density is 19.31/square km. Poor people will have to move to villages and buy homes there cheaper, and make new comunities in the process.

An urban city like Hargeisa has many problems with it's infrastructure and water shortages, so less human settlements there is best for everybody.

Yes. The neighbourhood in bosaso in which my family owns land is just a bunch of empty plots owned by diaspora. Most of them bought the land with ayuuto money and they can't afford to finish house construction yet so they just leave it empty for a while

Post a picture of what kind of house you will build. I want to see who has good taste. I will build one in my grandmother's hometown of hargeisa and one in my fathers. My grandfather's land in erigavo would be good to build a farm house.

My family has a new house we just built in Mogadishu. Inshallah I hope to build my own one day as well. I’m just worried about the pricing in the capital though. It’s already so expensive. Imagine how it’ll be in a decades’s time.

20 meters by 20 meters
depends on the location. Some go for 500 dollars. Others 200k. Somalis like plots that are near the city. So city real estate is expensive. Dad purchased 1 plot in hargeysa xafada calamadha for 18k. Now its worth 38k
