From dream homes to mortgage plans: JoyNews-Repubic Bank Habitat Fair closes Day 2 on a high
The dream of owning a home took centre stage at the JoyNews–Republic Bank Habitat Fair on Saturday, September 12, as prospective homeowners turned up in numbers to seek answers, explore options and engage experts in Ghana’s housing sector.
The JoyNews-Repubic Bank Habitat Fair concluded its second day on a high note, with prospective homeowners flocking to Accra's Marina Mall to seek guidance on their homeownership journey. This three-day event aimed to educate visitors about all aspects of the housing sector, from financing options to home improvement. On the second day alone, the fair attracted a strong turnout, as attendees navigated through exhibition stands showcasing everything from mortgage financing and real estate to construction, interior décor, security, and renewable energy.
Many visitors were eager to move past the mere idea of owning a home and understand the practical steps required to turn that dream into reality. Among the prominent topics discussed were financing, with Republic Bank Ghana representatives providing insights into mortgage facilities, eligibility criteria, repayment plans, and the process of purchasing, building, or renovating a home.
The bank's representatives also engaged with a diverse range of individuals, including salaried workers, self-employed professionals, entrepreneurs, and business owners, to offer tailored advice on financing options based on each person's unique circumstances.
However, financing was just one facet of the discussions taking place at the fair. Visitors also sought advice from property and construction professionals, explored home improvement solutions, and examined products aimed at enhancing comfort, security, and energy efficiency within homes. The fair gathered businesses and professionals from across the housing and property industry, creating an environment where attendees could compare products and services and receive direct answers from experts in the field.
For exhibitors, this provided a valuable opportunity to connect with individuals at various stages of their homeownership journey, while visitors gained practical knowledge to make informed decisions about their housing needs.
As Day Two of the JoyNews-Repubic Bank Habitat Fair drew to a close, organizers looked forward to the final day on Sunday, September 13. This concluding session was expected to offer another platform for prospective homeowners, property investors, and members of the public to engage with exhibitors and experts, further exploring solutions to their housing requirements.
