4. 💭 My Take: What Investors Should Do Now
If I were buying this week, here’s my move:
-
Buy in Abeokuta or Asaba: Demand is rising, but prices are still 50% below Lagos.
-
List rentals in Port Harcourt or Ibadan: ROI is stable and tenants are active.
-
Flip in Ajah / Ikorodu: Demand is strong for ₦20M–₦30M homes. Quick sales possible.
-
Land bank in Uyo or Warri: Undervalued plots + steady demand = smart long-term plays.
Remember, demand always leads price. The smart money follows the heat.
