The “ember months” (September–December) are always an exciting period in Nigeria. With the festive season approaching, people travel, businesses expand, and families prepare for end-of-year celebrations. Interestingly, September is the best time to secure property, whether you’re looking for a residential home, commercial space, or a shortlet apartment in Lagos and Abuja.

At PX Property Hub, we’ve studied market trends and client behavior over the years and we can confidently say: acting early in September gives you the advantage. Here’s why.

1. Lower Competition, Higher Value

While most buyers and renters wait until October or December to make decisions, savvy investors know September offers a quieter market. This means:

• More options to choose from.
  
  

• Better negotiation power with property owners.
  
  

• Value-for-money deals before prices peak.
  
  

2. Price Hikes During the Festive Rush

Real estate is seasonal, and demand drives prices. From October through December, property values, shortlet rates, and rental costs shoot up due to:

• Influx of diaspora Nigerians.
  
  

• Holiday travelers seeking shortlets.
  
  

• Businesses expanding for year-end sales.
  
  

By securing property in September, you lock in today’s prices before the inevitable hike.

3. Strategic Planning for December Occupancy

Whether you’re buying or renting, September allows proper planning:

• Businesses can set up offices before peak sales months.
  
  

• Families can settle in before festive traffic congestion begins.
  
  

• Shortlet investors can prepare for the December boom, when demand triples.
  
  

4. Shortlet Goldmine for Investors

September is also the sweet spot for shortlet property investment. With Lagos and Abuja becoming hot destinations for holiday events, concerts, and family gatherings, shortlet apartments deliver maximum returns between November and January. By onboarding your property early with PX Stay., you can enjoy effortless management while tapping into the holiday demand.

5. Diaspora Advantage  Buy Before You Fly In

If you live abroad and plan to spend Christmas in Nigeria, securing your property in September ensures:

• Verified ownership before your arrival.
  
  

• Avoiding rushed, last-minute purchases.
  
  

• Peace of mind knowing your home or investment is ready for you.
