IF YOU'RE PLANNING TO INVEST IN LAGOS REAL ESTATE, STOP LOOKING ONLY AT WHERE PRICES ARE TODAY.
One of the biggest mistakes I see property buyers make is focusing only on:
“How much is land here right now?”
But serious investors should be asking a bigger question:
“What is likely to drive demand in this location over the next few years?”
Before I recommend a location, I pay attention to things like:
Accessibility — How easy is it to get there today, and how could that change?
Infrastructure — What's being developed around the area?
Population & demand — Who is likely to live, work or invest there?
Economic activity — Are businesses and developments moving in?
Government & private development — What's happening around the location?
Entry price — Are you entering at a sensible price relative to the area's potential?
And there's another question many people forget:
“Who will want this property from me in the future?”
Because appreciation isn't magic.
It is often driven by demand, accessibility, development and economic activities
These are much more intelligent ways to approach real estate investing.
If you were choosing a location today, which would matter most to you: accessibility, infrastructure, demand or price?
