Doha - Qatar, February
04, 2015: International real estate network Lamudi is expanding its
presence in Africa and the Middle East, as house-hunters in the emerging
markets embrace online property search.
Lamudi is now available in four additional countries: Qatar, Gabon, Angola and the Republic of Congo.
The expansion sees Lamudi, a global real estate website which operates
exclusively in the emerging markets, expand its portfolio to cover 32
countries across Asia, Africa, the Middle East and Latin America.
Lamudi’s
Co-Founder and Managing Director, Kian Moini, said: “Since we launched
in late 2013, Lamudi has grown at breathtaking speed. The website is now
available in more than 30 countries in the emerging markets, offering
house-hunters from Mozambique to Mexico access to over 800,000 global
property listings.
This latest
expansion comes after a thorough assessment of the state of the property
sectors in these four countries. In each case, we see thriving real
estate industries that are beginning to switch online, creating demand
for the high-quality property portal that Lamudi offers.”
In mid-2014,
Lamudi released Android and iOS apps in a bid to meet the growing demand
for mobile internet services in developing countries. The company
released its first research report on emerging market real estate in November, with plans to make the project an annual initiative.
Lamudi is now
available in: Angola, Algeria, Bangladesh, Cameroon, Colombia,
Democratic Republic of Congo, Ethiopia, Gabon, Ghana, Indonesia, Ivory
Coast, Jordan, Kenya, Mauritius, Madagascar, Mexico, Morocco,
Mozambique, Myanmar, Nigeria, Pakistan, Peru, Philippines, Qatar,
Rwanda, Saudi Arabia, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Tunisia, Uganda, Zambia and
Zimbabwe.
