Investing in Nigeria's Real Estate 2025: High Returns and Opportunities for Diaspora Buyers
Lagos, Nigeria, 30th August 2025, ZEX PR WIRE, Nigeria's real estate market is entering 2025 as one of Africa's most attractive investment frontiers, offering high rental yields, strong capital appreciation, and new opportunities for diaspora and international buyers. With a market value projected at $2.61 trillion in 2025, including $2.25 trillion in residential real estate (Statista), Nigeria's property sector is drawing increasing attention from investors across the globe.Recent data shows that diaspora remittances reached $20.93 billion in 2024, an 8.9% increase year-on-year (Central Bank of Nigeria). Much of this capital is being channelled into property acquisition, rental apartments, and short-let investments-making real estate the preferred asset class for Nigerians abroad.
Lagos Leads the Market
Lagos remains the epicenter of property investment. According to Knight Frank, residential rents in Lagos grew 15-20% year-on-year in 2024, driven by high demand and limited supply. Prime locations such as Ikoyi, Victoria Island, and Lekki Phase 1 continue to attract foreign and corporate tenants, while mainland hubs like Yaba, Ikeja GRA, and Surulere offer high liquidity and growth opportunities.
Short-Let Growth Surges
Short-let and serviced apartments, popular with business travelers and holidaymakers, are generating impressive returns. Market analytics show Lagos short-let apartments averaged $10,000 in annual revenue per unit with ~45% occupancy and an ADR of $67 between June 2024 and May 2025 (AirDNA). Prices surged by over 200% in 2024, highlighting both investor appetite and consumer demand.
Digital Reforms Build Confidence
One of the biggest breakthroughs for foreign investors has been the rollout of Lagos State's e-GIS portal, which allows online title searches, Certified True Copies, and Governor's Consent applications. These digital reforms reduce fraud risk, accelerate due diligence, and improve transparency for diaspora buyers conducting remote transactions.
Macro Outlook Supports Investment
Nigeria's economy is showing signs of stabilisation. Inflation, previously at 34.8% in Dec 2024, rebased to 24.48% in Jan 2025 as tighter monetary policy took effect (National Bureau of Statistics). Meanwhile, the balance of payments recorded a $6.83 billion surplus in 2024, boosting investor confidence in Nigeria's financial outlook (CBN).
Why Invest Now?
High Yields: 6-8% long-let yields in Lagos, with 15-20% annual rent growth.
Short-Let Upside: Average $10,000+ annual income per apartment with professional management.
Diaspora Demand: $20.93 billion in remittances flowing into property.
Digital Security: Lagos e-GIS digitisation strengthens investor protection.
