But there is more to the story.
The market is not just growing. It is becoming more competitive. The same report shows that while revenue increased from ₦264.3 billion in 2024 to ₦281.03 billion in 2025, more properties are entering the market. This means it is now harder for individual listings to maintain high occupancy without the right structure and visibility.
Krent is a real estate platform in Nigeria. Whether you're looking to buy, rent, or short let a house, apartment, land, or commercial space, check out our listings. You can also request specific properties.
Mainland areas are also seeing strong growth. Yaba, for example, recorded about a 25 percent increase in demand, driven by its growing tech ecosystem. Studio apartments now make up a large part of the market there, offering lower costs and steady returns.
In simple terms, demand is strong, but competition is stronger than before.
What This Means for Property Owners and Agents
For property owners and agents, this presents a huge opportunity. With more people searching for places to stay, the real challenge is making sure your property is visible to the right audience.
Today’s renters are not relying on agents they know or random referrals. They are searching online, comparing options, and making quick decisions.
If your property is not easy to find or easy to book, you are likely missing out on real clients ,This is why digital platforms are becoming more important than ever.
How to Position Your Shortlet for More Bookings
Having a good apartment is no longer enough. To stay competitive in today’s market, you need:
- Proper visibility where people are actively searching
- A structured way to manage inquiries and bookings

Agents who are doing well today are not just listing properties. They are making it easy for people to discover, trust, and book those properties.
