Key Observations This Week
- National Trend: Asking prices continue to rise modestly, but growth is uneven. Mid-market and affordable segments are performing better than luxury.
- Ibadan Leading: Recorded the strongest month-on-month growth (+8.9%), driven by its relative affordability and influx of professionals from more expensive cities.
- Lagos Premium Segment: Lekki and Island areas remain expensive, but sales velocity has slowed as buyers negotiate harder.
- Negotiation Window: Across all cities, buyers with ready cash are securing 10–18% discounts below asking prices, especially on units listed for over 60 days.
What’s Driving the Numbers?
- Persistent high construction and financing costs continue to push asking prices upward.
- Buyer caution due to economic uncertainty is forcing more realistic pricing in some segments.
- Strongest demand remains for well-located, finished 3-bedroom units in secure estates with reliable power and good road access.
- Diaspora remittances continue to support pricing in Enugu and parts of Lagos.
Implications for Buyers and Investors This Week
- Buyers: April remains a favourable time for negotiation. Focus on completed estates with clean titles and functional infrastructure.
- Investors: Mid-market 3-bedroom apartments in secondary cities like Ibadan are offering attractive entry points with solid rental yields (typically 11–17% gross).
- Developers: Pricing discipline is critical. Overpriced units are staying longer on the market.
Final Thoughts
The April 29, 2026 Average Prices snapshot shows a market that is still growing modestly but becoming increasingly price-sensitive. While asking prices continue to edge higher, the widening gap between asking and transacted prices confirms that buyers currently hold stronger bargaining power.
For serious investors, this environment rewards patience, thorough due diligence, and focus on locations with genuine demand drivers rather than speculative hype.
