Background of the Study
Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) are a type of asset-backed security that is backed by a pool of mortgages, offering investors a way to invest in real estate without directly purchasing property. In developed economies, MBS have become a key component of the real estate financing landscape, providing liquidity to the housing market and allowing banks and financial institutions to transfer mortgage risk to investors (Adebayo & Onukwube, 2023). However, in Nigeria, mortgage-backed securities remain underdeveloped and underutilized, despite the potential they hold for expanding real estate financing options.
In Niger State, real estate development faces significant challenges, including limited access to capital, underdeveloped financial markets, and a high cost of borrowing. Mortgage finance in the state is restricted by factors such as inadequate credit infrastructure, low-income levels, and a lack of investor confidence in the real estate market. Mortgage-backed securities, if properly developed and introduced, could provide a solution to some of these challenges by allowing financial institutions to generate capital that can be used to finance additional property loans, thus creating a cycle of growth in the local real estate market (Babatunde & Jiboye, 2024).
This study aims to appraise the potential of mortgage-backed securities as a real estate financing option in Niger State, focusing on the benefits, challenges, and barriers to their implementation.
Statement of the Problem
Mortgage financing in Niger State has traditionally been limited by a lack of structured financial products and limited access to capital. Mortgage-backed securities (MBS) have the potential to provide the liquidity necessary to expand mortgage financing and stimulate real estate development in the state. However, the lack of a well-developed secondary mortgage market, along with regulatory and financial barriers, has hindered the widespread use of MBS in Niger State’s real estate sector. This study seeks to evaluate the feasibility and implications of utilizing mortgage-backed securities as a financing tool for real estate development in the state.
Objectives of the Study
1. To assess the potential of mortgage-backed securities as a financing option for real estate development in Niger State.
2. To evaluate the benefits and challenges of using mortgage-backed securities for real estate financing in Niger State.
3. To explore the regulatory, financial, and institutional barriers to the adoption of mortgage-backed securities in Niger State’s real estate market.
Research Questions
1. What potential do mortgage-backed securities have as a financing tool for real estate development in Niger State?
2. What benefits do mortgage-backed securities offer in terms of real estate financing in Niger State?
3. What are the challenges and barriers to the adoption of mortgage-backed securities in Niger State?
Research Hypotheses
1. Mortgage-backed securities significantly enhance the availability of financing for real estate development in Niger State.
2. The use of mortgage-backed securities improves liquidity in the real estate market in Niger State.
3. Regulatory, financial, and institutional barriers limit the effectiveness of mortgage-backed securities in Niger State’s real estate market.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on mortgage-backed securities as a financing option for real estate development in Niger State, particularly for residential and commercial projects. It will explore the feasibility of creating a secondary mortgage market in the state and the potential impact of MBS on the local real estate economy. Limitations include the lack of historical data on MBS in the region and challenges in accessing information from financial institutions.
