Property for sale in Kabul

Afghanistan has just emerged from a state of chaos, having suffered dearly under 25 years of misrule by successive governments. One legacy of this period is competing ownership claims against most choice property for sale in Kabul: land that was abandoned, confiscated and resold multiple times over the years.

Views on the Kabul real estate :

Anywhere else in the world Kabul’s property for sale situation might be appealing. The Afghan capital is now bigger than the country’s next ten largest cities put together, and is “groaning under the weight of its own growth”.

Housing is in high demand as both international workers and locals from outlying areas head into the region. Houses in desirable areas of town can go for over $500,000 – and this is after a “correction” in the market. Right after the Taliban fell, prices of property for sale in Kabul went “higher than Tokyo or New York” as aid workers and consultants piled into the city.

The political situation is of course unstable. A year ago riots tore through the city and crowds of young boys set about looting, with foreigners the main targets.
