How the high cost of living in Ghana affects the real estate industry

In an earlier story, YEN.com.gh wrote about how the high standard of living in Ghana affects the real estate sector. The typical Ghanaian is finding life intolerable due to record rates of inflation and cedi devaluation. Every sector of the economy, including the real estate market, is negatively impacted by the high cost of living in the nation.
