Land is one of the few assets that appreciates predictably in Nigeria, regardless of economic swings. In high-growth zones like Lagos, Ogun, Abuja, and Epe, plots that sold for ₦500,000 five years ago are now worth ₦5 million or more. For those who bought early, it was a smart move. For those who didn’t, the question remains: when is the best time to invest?
The honest answer? Yesterday.
The realistic answer? Now.
If you’re still thinking about when to buy land in Nigeria, the window of opportunity is narrowing. In this post, we’ll break down why acting now is critical, what areas are booming, and how you can secure verified, titled land without stress.
The Market Is Moving — Fast
Land prices are rising across Nigeria’s most promising corridors. The expansion of infrastructure, expressways, seaports, free trade zones, and new airports, has triggered demand in locations that were once overlooked. As a result, early investors are seeing double and even triple returns.
In places like Mowe-Ofada, Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, and Kuje (Abuja), land that sold for ₦800,000 in 2021 is now priced at ₦7 million or more. These aren’t just speculative bubbles, they’re backed by government infrastructure projects, industry investments, and population migration.
Every delay in buying means facing a higher price later.
Real Estate as a Hedge Against Inflation
With Nigeria’s inflation rate reaching double digits year after year, naira-based savings continue to lose purchasing power. Meanwhile, land consistently gains value. Unlike stock or forex trading, land does not require constant monitoring. It is passive, tangible, and always in demand.
For investors in the diaspora, land ownership is also a gateway to future homebuilding, retirement plans, or family security. It is the most grounded way to build long-term generational wealth.
It’s Easier Than Ever to Buy Verified Land
Today’s real estate environment is much safer than it was a decade ago. With digital verification tools, documented titles, and professional developers, land fraud is far less common, if you buy from the right source.
At Baker Homes, we ensure every plot we offer is 100% verified, with secure titles such as:
-
Government-issued Certificate of Occupancy (C of O)
-
Registered Survey and Deed of Assignment
-
Layout Approval and Perimeter Fencing
-

Whether you’re in Lagos, London, Abuja, or Atlanta — you can buy securely with full confidence, remotely or on-site.

How to Avoid Land Fraud When Buying in Nigeria
Always insist on viewing documents, including:
-
C of O or Governor’s Consent
-
Registered Survey and Layout Plan
-
Deed of Assignment
-
Site plan with estate layout
You should also conduct due diligence using a lawyer or independent surveyor. Buying from reputable developers who offer receipts, allocation letters, and legal documentation protects you from common scams.
Don’t Wait Until It’s Too Late
The real estate market doesn’t pause. While you’re waiting for the “perfect moment,” land prices are rising, plots are getting sold, and infrastructure is boosting demand. What was ₦4 million today may be ₦7 million tomorrow. Waiting costs more than acting early.
The best time to buy was in the past. The next best time is now — before the next price adjustment, before your preferred location is sold out, and before infrastructure pushes prices further.
