The RI Indices will reflect the effect of the recession in most of the areas in Abuja, Lagos, Rivers and Kaduna for the Q2 2017 RI Index.<\/p>\n<p>Founder, Roland Igbinoba House Price Index (RI Index), Roland Igbinoba said the group plans to increase the coverage of the house price index on a quarterly basis until it fully covers all major cities that will enable investors adequately track house prices.<\/p>\n<p>The Foundation has successfully published \u201cThe State of the Lagos Housing Market \u2013 2009 and 2016 editions\u201d; and also \u201cThe State of Abuja Housing Market Report\u2013 2017 edition\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWith the level of acceptability and positive feedbacks received with respect to the publication of the first quarter RI Index for Lagos and Abuja, our plan is to repeat this achievement on a quarterly basis for the existing cities; and also launch the RI Index for other major cities. In the second quarter RI Index, Kaduna and Port Harcourt is under our consideration\u201d, Igbinoba said.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the prospective beneficiaries of the RI Index are the stakeholders with interest in residential <a href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/property-center-nigeria\/\">real estate<\/a> market in Nigeria. They include but not limited to institutional investors, financial institutions, foreign investors, private equity firms, real estate developers, home buyers, government agencies and other individuals considering housing market as part of their portfolio to leverage on emerging opportunities in the fast-growing\u00a0market.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe RI Index will provide necessary handy information to make decision on when to purchase a house, where and even what type of house to buy. Also, Analysts are enhanced with the usage of the RI Index to monitor long-term trends in house prices. The information on the index is not limited to buying a property but also when making rent decision,\u201d he said<\/p>\n<p>It aids optimization of choice. \u201cThe usefulness of the RI Index cut across but not limited to the government (in making appropriate housing policy); and investors (by using the information to know the best location to <a class=\"wpil_keyword_link\" href=\"https:\/\/amazingproperty.com.ng\/blog\/investing-how-to-invest-like-warren-buffett\"   title=\"invest\" data-wpil-keyword-link=\"linked\">invest<\/a> or the type of housing that will maximize investment in the medium and long term).
