All Nigeria Short-Term Rental Markets
Every market below links to its full BNBCalc market page. Non-US country rankings use annual revenue first because gross yield requires property value metadata that is currently US-only.
Active listings are Airbnb and Vrbo listings observed as active in the selected country market metadata. Annual revenue uses ADR, adjusted occupancy, and estimated cleaning revenue when cleaning and stay data exists.
Outside the US, BNBCalc ranks country market pages by average annual revenue until property-value coverage is available for international gross yield. Annual revenue is useful for identifying demand and pricing power, but investors should still review acquisition cost, taxes, seasonality, regulations, and operating expenses before comparing returns.
