Lagos has some of the most highly-priced real estate in Africa, at around US$1,000 to US$1,200 per square metre (sq. m).
The recent increase in housing supply has squeezed rents, while prices are holding their ground. Rental yields for apartments in Ikoyi and Victoria Island in Lagos are around 3% to 5.3%. Yields are generally higher in Abuja than in Lagos due to less supply; at 6% to 8%. Beach estates have rental yields that range from 7% to 8 %.
