Nigeria Property Demand Trends – August 15, 2025 Update
The property market in Nigeria is shifting fast, and today’s numbers reveal exactly where buyer attention is going. This week’s demand trends give investors, agents, and developers the data they need to adjust strategies and spot opportunities early.
1. Lagos Still Leads but with Slower Growth
Buyer interest in Lagos remains highest nationwide, but search growth slowed to 2% this week compared to 4% last week. Ikorodu and Ibeju-Lekki are the main drivers, while prime Lagos Island locations see steady, not explosive, demand.
Tip: For faster sales, list properties in Ikorodu with competitive pricing — demand is strong and rising.
2. Abuja’s Satellite Towns Are Heating Up
Interest in Abuja proper held steady, but satellite towns like Lugbe, Kuje, and Karu recorded a 6% jump in searches. Buyers are looking for more affordable options with reasonable commuting times.
Tip: Land plots in Lugbe with verified titles are being snapped up quickly.
3. Port Harcourt Shows Signs of a Bounce
After months of slow activity, Port Harcourt recorded a 3% increase in buyer searches, especially for short-let apartments and mid-range houses.
Tip: Investors targeting rental yields should consider short-let properties near Trans Amadi and GRA Phase 2.
4. Emerging Markets Gain Momentum
Ibadan and Awka continue to attract attention, each posting a 5% rise in buyer searches. Infrastructure projects and lower entry prices are fueling interest.
Tip: Watch for new road projects in Ibadan’s outskirts — they often precede price jumps.
