According to Lamudi, there were significant disparities in
average sales price based on LGA:

Ikoyi has the highest average sales price per bedroom at
N51.58 Mn; that is 3.75X that of Lekki, which is surprisingly
cheaper than Ketu, Maryland and lagos Island.

The southern Lagos outskirts of Badagry and Ojo recorded
the lowest average sales prices of below N2.4 Mn per


According to Lamudi, though there were few exceptions,
rental price patterns generally reflected sales prices:

The high availability of overpriced rental stock in Lagos Island
and Eti-Osa LGAs resulted in a relatively high average rental
price of N694,000 per bedroom.

Lekki’s overpriced rental price is potentially a sign of
speculative pricing for low demand housing stock rather than
an actual lack of available housing stock.
