Have you ever noticed how people proudly showcase vintage items like old-school Benz cars, classic Gucci bags, or even Rolex watches from decades ago? The older, the better.
But when it comes to land, the same people hesitate, thinking, “It’s just bush.” Spoiler: That “bush” could be worth millions tomorrow.
Let’s dive into why land banking should be your next big investment move.
The Missed Opportunity: A Real-Life Scenario
Ten years ago, Kola had an opportunity to buy 5 acres of land in Epe at just ₦1 million per acre. He turned it down, dismissing the location as “too rural.” Fast forward to today, and that same plot of land is worth over ₦15 million per acre.
Meanwhile, Kola is still renting an apartment in Ajah.
This isn’t just Kola’s story—it’s the story of countless Nigerians who ignore the potential of strategic land investments.
What Is Land Banking and Why Does It Matter?
Land banking is a strategic investment approach that involves purchasing undeveloped or underdeveloped land in key locations and holding onto it until its value appreciates significantly. This method can be likened to planting a money tree; the more time you allow it to grow, the greater the potential return on your investment.
Real estate experts know this secret: land is a finite resource. As cities expand and development projects grow, demand for land in prime areas skyrockets.
Consider these figures:
- In 2010, land in Ibeju-Lekki was valued at ₦1.2 million per plot.
- By 2024, the same land now costs over ₦35 million per plot—a growth of nearly 2,900% in just 14 years!
Why You Should Care
- Long-term wealth creation: Land banking offers a reliable way to secure generational wealth. Unlike other investments, land appreciates consistently in value, especially in high-demand areas.
- Economic stability: Land investments are immune to inflation and currency devaluation. While the value of the naira may fluctuate, real estate provides a stable and appreciating asset.
- Low entry barrier: Land banking isn’t reserved for the wealthy. With options starting as low as ₦500,000, anyone can begin building their investment portfolio.
Steps to Start Your Land Banking Journey
If you’re ready to avoid Kola’s mistake, here’s how to start:
- Research strategic locations: Focus on areas with high growth potential, such as Epe, Ijebu-Ode, Sagamu, and Moniya. Look for regions near infrastructure projects like roads, airports, and industrial hubs.
- Verify land titles: Invest in properties with proper documentation such as a Certificate of Occupancy (C of O) or Governor’s Consent. This reduces the risk of legal complications.
- Start small: You don’t need millions to begin. Identify affordable options and gradually expand your portfolio as your finances grow.
