Current Lagos Real Estate Market Trends
Although people purchase houses based on emotions rather than logic, nevertheless, buying a house—for residential or other purposes—is a logical investment.
It goes without saying that all meaningful investments should be preceded by or undertaken on the strength of relevant data.
So here are some important data on the Lagos real estate market to help you make an informed decision on your next house purchase.
Lagos State has an Estimated 17 Million Housing Deficit – LASG
Last year, the Office of the Lagos State Government revealed that Nigeria currently has a 28 million housing deficit. According to reports, Lagos State is affected more, accounting for 60% of the overall deficit.
This means the state needs about 17 million homes to offset its housing deficit and meet up with the demands of its ever-growing population.
You don’t need Adam Smith or Abraham Maslow to spell out the cause of this deficit:
- Population growth
- Limited access to financing
- High construction cost
- Regulatory and bureaucratic issues, etc.
But… is there a way out?
The good news is that the government is making concerted efforts with private developers to bridge the housing gap.
However, the bad news is that we still have a long way to go as the data below suggests.
Year | Population | Housing Deficit |
1991 | 97 million | 7 million |
2007 | 148 million | 12 million |
2010 | 160 million | 14 million |
2018 | 198 million | 20 million |
2023 | 223 million | 28 million |
Brief history of Nigeria’s housing deficit [Source: Punch & Macrotrends]
The increase in Nigeria’s housing deficit from 1991 to 2023 is approximately 300%. But beyond that, it also shows a rising demand for housing that will both affect the value of real estate in coming years and reward both homeowners and investors
Furthermore, there is a certainty that the demand will continue to climb on the wings of population growth; which means investors can rest assured that for the next couple of decades, real estate will still be profitable in Lagos.
As to the question of when Nigeria’s housing deficit will be addressed. The US had a housing shortfall of 4.5 million in 2023 [per Willow], while the United Kingdom had a 4.3 million deficit in the same year, according to the Center for Cities.
Center for Cities report also added that it will take the UK half a century to cover its housing backlog if they build 300,000 homes a year. Now, how much longer will it take the Nigerian government which is lacking in both resources and commitment, to eradicate Nigeria’s housing deficit?
Housing Costs have gone up by 300% in 8 Years – NIEV
The Nigerian Institution of Estate Surveyors and Valuers recently announced that housing cost has more than tripled by over 300% in the last decade.
That figure is hard to argue with in the face of factors like the
- The significant inflation
- Astronomic increase in interest rate
- Escalating demand for good homes
- Population growth and urbanization, etc
On one hand, the rising housing cost we are witnessing in Lagos may lead to market volatility (based on speculative bubbles and price correction); decrease in demand (due to affordability issues); increased government scrutiny (due to the unmitigated high-cost market); or other ripple effects that will adversely affect both investors and homebuyers.
Hence, this calls for a lot of caution from anyone getting into the Lagos real estate market.
But for smart investors in the Lagos real estate, a 300% hike in housing cost is a handful of gold nuggets in the riverbank of Lagos Real Estate—a sign that there is gold ahead or in other words, proof that the market has high potential for returns regardless of the cost.
The potential is evident in the property appreciations reflected in the increased property value and capital gain. This is also evidenced in the higher rental yields [increase in the demand for rentals, rent, and rental income].
All of these point to the fact that this may be the cheapest housing cost will ever be, which means it is the best time to get into the market.
Bonus: 753 apartments with price tags of over $ 1 million… currently under construction in Lagos – Estate Intel
If you go to Ikoyi, Banana Island, or Eko Atlantic today, you will be greeted by an ever-increasing line of ultra-luxury building carcasses.
Now here is the shocking part, most of these luxury houses for sale are capped at a million dollars, according to Estate Intel.
This means a lot of things including the fact that
- The Lagos real estate is experiencing a dynamic shift, marked by exponential market growth
- The current supply or barrage of effort to supply luxury homes means there is an active demand for luxurious residential buildings. If not, why do these 700+ buildings have a 97% occupancy rate?
- Another interpretation you can draw from EI’s report is the fact that this will contribute to the shift in the already growing adoption of apartment buildings over stand-alone houses.
- The fourth major ripple effect of this supply of ultra-luxury buildings is the fact that their mere existence will drive up the value and prices of properties in these individual locations, and eventually, impact the value of real estate in Lagos
On a side note, it is surprising that the Lagos real estate market is still thriving despite the recent controversial demolitions.
All of this resilience points to one fact: in 5 years, you would wish you had gotten that house for sale today, rather than drag your feet only to realize in a few years that it is worth more.
