However, Naira seem to maintain a consistent rate so far.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Who Gains From High Inflation?&nbsp;<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflation punishes savers but rewards people who own:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Real estate<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Rental property<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short-stay units<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Land<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Revenue-generating assets<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Dollar-priced assets<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Businesses that can adjust their pricing<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Inflation <strong>raises the price<\/strong> of assets and <strong>raises the cashflow<\/strong> from those assets.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Inflation Has Affected Rent in Nigeria (2019\u20132025)<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Here is the actual pattern investors need to understand: Rent growth has outpaced salary growth by 200%+. In Lagos:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>A mini-flat in Yaba that cost <strong>\u20a6500k<\/strong> in 2019 is now <strong>\u20a61.5M \u2013 \u20a62.2M<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>A 3-bedroom in Lekki that was <strong>\u20a62.5M<\/strong> is now <strong>\u20a66M \u2013 \u20a610M<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Short-let apartments that made <strong>\u20a618k per night<\/strong>\u00a0 on the mainland in 2020 now make <strong>\u20a645k \u2013 \u20a675k<\/strong>.<br><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>This is because<a href=\"https:\/\/nairametrics.com\/2025\/08\/19\/lagos-rental-households-stuck-at-1-38-million-for-9-years-despite-population-surge-report\/?utm_source=chatgpt.com\"> landlords adjust rent to inflation<\/a> immediately,&nbsp; but salaries don\u2019t. This is why real estate investors survive inflation while renters suffer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>The Dollar Rate Has Become the New Driver of Real Estate Profit<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Before, Nigeria\u2019s real estate only followed local inflation.

But people with cash savings lose.
