How to write a listing that sells faster
Six actionable tips that consistently produce more enquiries and better-qualified buyers.
Price against live comparables — not your expectation
Benchmark your asking price against 3–5 active listings in the same micro-market (same street, estate, or 500m radius). Sellers who price 10–20% above comparable listings consistently get fewer enquiries and longer time on market. In Nigerian property, overpricing is the single most common reason a for-sale listing receives zero serious enquiries. Look at what has recently sold or is actively in negotiation — not what expired listings asked.
Add 8+ photos — exterior, all rooms, and compound
Listings with 8 or more quality photos receive significantly more enquiries than listings with 1–3 photos or no photos. Cover: exterior and compound entrance, living room, all bedrooms, kitchen, all bathrooms, car park/BQ if present. Use natural daylight, open curtains, and take photos horizontally — not vertical phone shots. A clean, well-lit listing photo set typically increases enquiry volume more than any other single action a seller can take.
State the title type explicitly in the listing
Buyers searching for property in Nigeria will always ask about the title — and if it is not stated in the listing, they hesitate to enquire. State clearly: C of O, registered deed of assignment, Governor's Consent status, FCDA Right of Occupancy, or family title. If Governor's Consent has not been perfected, say so and confirm it is in process. Transparency here builds trust and filters out enquirers who cannot proceed on an unregistered title.
Describe the power and water infrastructure specifically
Nigerian buyers expect to understand the real cost of ownership before they enquire. State clearly: (1) Is there a compound generator, and what KVA? (2) Are there prepaid meters? (3) Does the estate have estate-managed power or individual billing? (4) Is there a borehole or municipal water supply? These are not optional details — they directly affect the total cost of living in the property and are the first questions serious buyers ask.
Include the service charge — not just the asking price
If the property is in a managed estate or block of flats with a service charge, include the annual service charge in your listing. Buyers who request a viewing, then discover a ₦600k–₦1.5m/yr service charge on top of the asking price, often withdraw. Stating the service charge upfront filters for buyers who can afford the total ownership cost — which saves time for both sides and produces better-qualified viewings.
Write a description that answers the first 5 buyer questions
Buyers who reach your listing have already filtered by location and price. They are now asking: (1) How is the compound/estate security? (2) What is the power situation? (3) Is there a BQ? (4) What is the tenure/title? (5) What is included (AC, fitted kitchen, fixtures)? Answer all five in your listing description. A 150–250 word description that directly answers these questions consistently outperforms a generic 50-word description that says 'beautiful property in prime location'.
