She is dedicated to making every transaction effective, strategic, and seamless by putting the needs of its clients first and having extensive market knowledge.
She said that she offers a hands-on, personal approach that focuses not just on making sales, but on ensuring her clients feel heard, supported, and educated throughout the entire process, something she has been busy with for five years.
“Say Yes to the Address with Loide,” she explained, is founded on integrity, expertise, and a commitment to guiding clients through seamless and rewarding real estate decisions.
“I have always had a passion for connecting people with opportunities that positively impact their lives. From a young age, I aspired to be a catalyst of change in my society, and real estate felt natural,” she shared.
Amukwa indicated that families are made and raised in homes, employment opportunities are created through investment properties, and the country’s economy is equally promoted.
“Real estate is more than just transactions to me, it’s about building long-term relationships based on trust, honesty, and care, and it is gratifying,” she stated.
The FNB Namibia Housing Price Index for the second quarter of 2024 revealed a continued upward trend in property values.
The average house price rose to N$1 263 673, marking a N$30 000 increase from the previous quarter. While this growth is slower than the 6.2% recorded in the second quarter of 2023, it indicates a sustained upward trajectory in the Namibian housing market.
Amukwa said: “Right now, I am seeing a significant growth of interest in investment properties, especially among young professionals and foreign investors. Windhoek, being the hub of the majority of economic activity, the demand is quite striking.”
She said property investment remains one of the most stable long-term investments. Given the government’s emphasis on development and the increasing demand for affordable housing, this presents an ideal investment opportunity.
Amukwa noted that coastal towns like Swakopmund and Walvis Bay also offer great investment potential due to their recent energy sector developments, tourism, and lifestyle appeal.
She added that with an increase in new developments, it’s an exciting time for both buyers and sellers.
“When the thought of buying your first home strikes, the next step is to get a pre-approval to determine how much you qualify to borrow for a home loan. You can get it from your respective bank or other bank options. A pre-approval strengthens your offer, shows sellers you are serious and speeds up the process,” she stressed.
Amukwa noted that homebuying is a significant life decision, urgent prospective homeowners to do full market research, and take their time to make an informed choice alongside a professional one can trust.
