The housing market in Kiphire is informal, with virtually no large-scale commercial real estate developers. Most homes are self-built by families on ancestral or purchased land.
Architecture in the town is a mix of traditional influences and modern construction. Common structures include "Assam-type" houses (featuring wooden frames, mud-plastered or bamboo walls, and corrugated tin roofs) and increasingly, Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) buildings which are seen as a marker of upward mobility.
Rental housing is limited but exists primarily to serve government employees, teachers, and traders who move to the town from other parts of the state.
