# Land for sale in Asaba and Owerri, and what the papers actually say

Asaba and Owerri often end up on the same shortlist: close to family and business in the South-East and the Mid-West, with asking prices that can look lower than equivalent land in Lagos or central Abuja. The useful question is what is actually listed, what each page declares as title, and what you still have to check yourself.

This is a walk through live Xavorian listings in those two cities as of 10 November 2026. I founded the marketplace, so this is not a neutral directory review. Every figure below is the asking price on the listing. Every size and document type comes from the listing’s own description or declared papers.

# Asaba, starting at ₦18 million

The lowest land ticket in this set is a 50 by 100 plot at Koka by Jeff, Asaba, listed at ₦18,000,000. The listing declares a Deed of Assignment and a Registered Survey Plan. It is marked verified, and the public page has two site photographs.

One caution: more than one Xavorian page currently shows land at Koka by Jeff at the same ₦18,000,000 asking price. Ask whether those pages are the same plot listed twice, or different parcels, and have a surveyor relate the beacons to the survey you are actually given.

# A 100 by 100 feet plot in Okpanam

A step up in size and price is land at Ogbeozoma Umu-Oni Quarters, Okpanam, Asaba, listed at ₦25,000,000. The listing says the plot measures 100 by 100 feet and sits directly behind Obi Cubana Estate, and it declares a deed of assignment and a registered survey plan. That landmark is a useful way to find the site. It is also a seller’s description — confirm it, and the measurements, on the ground.

# Frontage on the Okpanam–Ibusa road

Further along the same side of Asaba, a parcel described as 100 by 200 along the major Okpanam–Ibusa linked road is listed at ₦155,000,000. The listing says the land has direct frontage on a tarred road and that a registered survey plan and a deed of assignment are available. Walk the access, and have a lawyer read the deed and survey before anyone discusses payment.

# Four terrace duplexes in Ogbeozoma

Not every Asaba listing is bare land. An exclusive four-unit development of three-bedroom terrace duplexes in Ogbeozoma, along the New Era Primary School axis and before Nwawolor Market, is listed at ₦283,000,000. The listing says the development sits on 55 by 110 feet, that construction is at 90 percent completion, and that the terraces were designed with short-let use in mind. Declared documents are a Deed of Assignment, a Registered Survey Plan and a Certificate of Occupancy. The listing is marked verified and has a large set of photographs.

Those are the seller’s figures and intended use. A short-let plan depends on what is actually permitted and finished on that street. See the site, and have a lawyer search the three declared documents.

# Owerri: an ₦18 million estate plot, and a gap in the papers

In Imo State, a 50 by 100 feet plot in Suncity Garden Estate, Avu, Owerri, is listed at ₦18,000,000 for outright payment, or ₦19,000,000 on a 12-month plan according to the listing. It is marked verified. A title document type is not stated on the public record I reviewed. A verified flag is not a substitute for seeing the papers. Ask for the documents first, then have a lawyer search them. The public still is a single low-resolution video cover, which is another reason to insist on a visit.

# A titled plot in Udenwa Estate, New Owerri

At a very different budget, 656 square metres of land in Udenwa Estate, New Owerri, is listed at ₦550,000,000. The listing describes this as about one and a half plots, says the land is empty and ready to build on, and declares a Certificate of Occupancy. That is a clearer paper story than the Avu listing, on the public page at least, and still only a starting point for a registry search.

In the same estate, a much larger 1,500 square metre parcel in Udenwa Estate is listed at ₦1,600,000,000, with an option, according to the listing, to take 750 square metres for ₦800,000,000. A title type is not stated on that public record, so the first question is the same: show me the documents.

# How to choose among them

Price alone will mislead you. An ₦18,000,000 plot with no title type on the public page is not automatically a better entry than a more expensive plot whose deed and survey you can actually search. In both cities the order of work is the same: match the size to the ground, match the name on the papers to the person you are dealing with, instruct a lawyer in that state, and pay only a bank account whose name matches the identified seller.
