Ibadan and environs are about to witness similar phenomenon. With the Ibadan-railway network set for completion, we are about to see massive influx of people, work and money flock into Ibadan. Arguably, the most important sector that will be positively impacted is the real estate sector.
Consequent upon the completion of the Lagos-Ibadan railway project which is slated to commence commuter services by the 1stt quarter of 2019 as recently announced by the Nigerian federal government, an unprecedented increase in housing demands is projected in Oyo State- Ibadan specifically.
The emergence of Ibadan as a real estate hub in recent years has been a long time coming. Rightfully, Ibadan, Nigeria’s “Premier City” which has popularly been referred to as the City of Brown Roofs has taken laudable strides in the real estate sector in recent years. A series of unprecedented developments in the history-laden city heralded this new development.
New trends for 2018 are already beginning to emerge for which investors,developers, brokers and agents will need to keep up with and adjust accordingly. A few of them are as follows.
Home ownership is a rite of passage many of us dream of. Owning a home means putting down roots and having a space that is truly yours. It’s a significant moment of your life when you finally own a home.

For an industry that has literally suffered a period of boom and bust in recent years, the real estate sub sector in the view of bookmakers is about to unravel.
According to the faculty members of the Nigeria Real Estate Investment and Exhibition (NREIE), a think-tank for the real estate market, the sector has enjoyed significant growth over the last decade even amidst the shortcomings of finance, know-how and right operatives. High-rise office buildings are springing up in tens yearly and luxury estates are on the increase in major cities. There is however more to be done, it is believed there is a deficiency of about 17 million houses to serve the populace optimally.
Real estate business might not be very buoyant at the moment. The reasons are not far-fetched; the ongoing economic challenges in the country which has resulted in the fluctuation of naira against other currencies (dollar and pounds) and has made some people to put on hold investment in real estate, while a number of would-be investors have to contend with the task of locating investment opportunities in markets that offer the greatest long term growth and stability, and or investment in other endeavours.

In the early hours of Tuesday, May 9, 2017 at about 7:17am, this writer received a call from someone who said his name is Gbenro, and that he is very interested to buy our fully furnished 5 bedroom detached duplex at Chevy View Estate, Chevron, Lekki, Lagos going for N88million. He assured during the telephone conversation that if he can view the property, and he likes what he sees, he will like to pay immediately.
With this assurance, we quickly arranged for the immediate inspection of the property at about 10:00am the same day. The current owners/vendors of the property – Mr. & Mrs. Augustine (not their real name, to protect their identity) are still living there; Mr. Augustine has just been transferred to the Abuja branch of his company, hence the need for relocation and sale of the property.
