Global real estate classifieds player Lamudi continue their expansion on three continents at the same time. The platform is now also available in the Philippines, Peru, Ethiopia, Indonesia and Zambia, countries associated with increasingly flourishing economies and booming real estate industries, but also the online communities in these countries are rapidly growing.
With reference to data published by the World Bank, Lamudi is moving into countries with rocketing internet user numbers. From 2009 to 2012, 866.139 new internet users were registered in Ethiopia, which is an increase of 200% since 2009. Furthermore, the size of the online communities in Zambia, the Philippines and Indonesia has more than doubled in these three years, due to a growing affluent middle class.

Currently our services are available in nine countries throughout Africa, and with the new addition of these two it will strengthen further plans for expansion.
