Hello
She could be right depending on where you want to stay..
The houses that have clear cut prices are usually expensive, while those that are negotiable - well! the muzungu aspect will come into play because the assumption is that bazungu have money - remb the exchange rate has a role.
However she can also 'play you.' She is 'the face' there4 can increase the rate so she gets a cut. But 'expensive' is relative -
Either way you could lose

If you are interested;
Check out my earlier post where I mentioned 2 houses for rent in a good neighborhood..

Hey,
Well yes its very possible that you will be over charged for anything if you show up with a Muzungu. And yes as newug says its possible she could play you.
Have you tried apartments? Since they have more than 1 unit it is easy to find out from the neighbors the actual cost of the house.
