When Inflation Eases, What Happens to Real Estate? A Window of Opportunity for Buyers & Investors

Nigeria’s inflation rate has fallen for the sixth straight month, cooling to 18.02% in September 2025 from 20.12% in August, according to Reuters.
This shift — driven by easing food prices and improved supply conditions — offers a glimmer of relief in what has been a turbulent economic climate.

But what does this mean for Nigeria’s real estate market, and more importantly, for buyers and investors looking to make smart moves?

At Round Peg Homes, we believe this moment represents more than just a data point — it’s a window of opportunity to plan strategically, invest wisely, and build wealth sustainably.


1. What Lower Inflation Means for Real Estate

a) More Predictable Cost Structures

Developers have long struggled with unpredictable material costs — cement, steel, fuel, and logistics.
A slowing inflation rate helps stabilize these input costs, allowing developers like Round Peg Homes to offer more predictable pricing and flexible payment plans.

b) Gradual Monetary Policy Relief

If inflation continues to ease, the Central Bank of Nigeria (CBN) may loosen monetary policies, possibly lowering interest rates.
That could make home loans and property financing more affordable, encouraging more buyers to step into the market.

c) Renewed Buyer Confidence

Periods of stable inflation tend to boost investor and buyer confidence. Real estate becomes an even more attractive hedge against inflation — especially in growth corridors like Epe, where land values continue to rise.

2. Smart Moves for Buyers & Investors Right Now

Given the improving economic trend, buyers and investors should consider:

  • Locking in prices early, before the next market uptick.
  • Investing in fast-developing areas like Epe, Ibeju-Lekki, and Igbonla (home to Sola Fide Estate).
  • Choosing developers with transparency and valid approvals to reduce risk.
  • Exploring land banking — a proven wealth-building strategy that thrives in both rising and stable markets.
