3. Real Estate Hotspots & Property Trends 2026
Ekiti’s market is currently characterized by a housing shortage, driving rent increases of up to 30% in key academic corridors.
Ado-Ekiti: The Administrative Pulse
As the capital, Ado-Ekiti (360101) remains the most stable market. Areas around GRA and Federal Polytechnic are high-demand zones for professional tenants. In 2026, the Ajebamidele and Similoluwa axes are seeing a surge in "New-Build" apartment blocks to cater to civil servants and business owners.
Oye & Iyin: The Academic Goldmine
With the Federal University Oye-Ekiti (FUOYE) and the Federal University of Technology and Environmental Sciences (FUTES) in Iyin-Ekiti, these towns are under-supplied.
Self-contained units in Oye-Ekiti are currently commanding rents between ₦200,000 and ₦350,000, offering some of the best rental yields for student hostel investors in the South-West.
Ikogosi & Tourism Assets
The Ekiti West (362105) axis, home to the Ikogosi Warm Springs, is a niche hotspot for hospitality real estate. With the government’s 2026 focus on tourism infrastructure, land banking near these natural assets is a strategic long-term play.
