My Take
Short-term rentals in Lagos are seeing a strong rebound due to the holiday season, while Abuja’s high-end detached homes are attracting more interest from diaspora buyers. Port Harcourt’s commercial demand is likely tied to new oil sector projects.
Investors targeting quick rental yields should focus on shortlets in Lagos and 2–3 bedroom apartments in Abuja.
