WHEN DREAM HOMES BECOME DISTANT: THE REAL IMPACT OF NIGERIA’S INFLATION ON HOMEOWNERSHIP

Nigeria has long held the spirit of homeownership as a cornerstone of stability and upward mobility. But today, that dream is slipping further away for many. Inflation has become a strong force reshaping what it means to own a home, and in all the wrong ways.

As Olatokunbo Akinhanmi, Honorary Publicity Secretary of NIESV Lagos, recently put it, surging inflation has made rent payments and residential property ownership “unattainable for many Nigerians”. This isn’t theoretical as it’s real families tightening budgets, postponing plans, and feeling that the path to homeownership is blocked by economic forces they can’t control. The wave of unlicensed and untrained practitioners entering the real estate market only adds to the uncertainty, diluting professional standards and exposing buyers to risk according to Olatokunbo Akinhanmi.

What’s especially troubling is how inflation has turned what was once an avenue for building financial stability into a realm dominated by affordability challenges. Even renters are feeling the pinch as leases skyrocket, often faster than incomes can keep pace. For many people, what used to feel achievable now feels just out of reach.

Yet amid this squeeze, there is a way forward: anchoring investments in credible expertise and transparent processes. When markets are rough and resources are limited, the difference between success and setback often comes down to who you partner with.

At Geoponts Properties, that’s why we’ve doubled down on clarity, trust, and support, helping real estate dreams stay on track, even when the environment gets rocky. With a catalogue of properties with flexible payment plan options and mortgage leases running up to 20 years, we are helping make home ownership super easy for the average Nigerian.
