Abuja ranked second with 13.8 per cent, while Rivers State followed with 4.5 per cent, as the three locations collectively accounted for 71.9 per cent of property search demand nationwide during the month.

Oyo State ranked fourth with 3.3 per cent, followed by Ogun with 3.0 per cent.

Kano recorded 1.4 per cent of total property searches, while Delta and Imo each accounted for 1.3 per cent. Enugu also recorded 1.3 per cent.

Akwa Ibom, Osun and Edo each accounted for 1.0 per cent of total property search demand.

The data showed that the South-West dominated the list, with Lagos, Oyo, Ogun, Osun and Edo among the states with the highest recorded demand.

The North-Central was represented by Abuja, while Kano represented the North-West. Imo and Enugu represented the South-East, while Rivers, Delta and Akwa Ibom accounted for the South-South.

The figures indicate a significant concentration of property search activity in Lagos, with demand in the state alone nearly four times that recorded in Abuja, the second-highest market.

The July 2026 figures were published under the StatiSense series by Nigeria Property Centre, highlighting the distribution of property search interest across Nigerian states.
