enough outlets for all the appliances to make it fully functional. “We know that these units are a house owner’s dream in terms of the overall quality of the product and that our customers get value for their hard-earned investment.” Priced for both the location and the enterprising professional, the units are moving fast with less than 10 still available as the 2 bedroom costs a cool $32M; the 3 bedroom can be rounded off at $34M and those that boast a basement level fetch $41M. All of the prices quoted are fixed and therefore not subject to escalation. “Why should a prospective buyer look to Somerset? It is in a convenient location and the product built is very appealing and having the WIHCON brand, which gives customers that needed sense of security and assurance that the homes are a quality build and not one that two years down the road you cannot find the developer.” WIHCON, Ms. Campbell added, is committed to doing its part in making more Jamaicans realise their dream of home ownership. “We are known as the developer of choice for most home owners, so we won’t stray away from our core,
which is doing homes for first time home owners. Soon we will have Jacaranda Homes on the market which is located in Innswood, off the Old harbour Main Road and 10 minutes away from Highway 2000. We continue to position ourselves to be able to provide products for people right across the board, whether you are a new home owner, young professional or looking for something as investment for your retirement.” The housing market, she said, is holding steady but when it comes down to it, it depends on your purchasing power. That is why WIHCON tries to assess and accurately gauge what the market needs in order to be better able to meet those needs with quality homes. “If you have the right price point the market is good but based on what is happening with the dollar and the economy overall, it more than likely will impact those at the lower end of the market because if NHT increases their interest rates, it will make it a bit tougher on that demographic, so sales will be impacted. However I can say that regardless of the economic storm, the one thing that is a solid investment is real estate, especially in Kingston as it will hold its value no matter what.”
