Background of the Study
Sustainable building practices are becoming increasingly important in the real estate sector due to growing concerns about environmental impact and resource conservation. These practices involve using environmentally friendly materials, reducing energy consumption, and promoting designs that are energy-efficient, resilient, and sustainable over time (Ogunleye & Ayodele, 2024). In Nasarawa State, as in many parts of Nigeria, the real estate market has experienced significant growth. However, the adoption of sustainable building practices is still relatively low, with many developers and property owners focusing more on short-term gains rather than long-term environmental benefits.
Despite this, there is growing awareness among investors and homeowners about the potential benefits of sustainable construction, which can lead to enhanced property value appreciation. Properties built with sustainable practices tend to have higher resale values, lower maintenance costs, and greater appeal to environmentally conscious buyers (Oluwaseun et al., 2023). The real estate market in Nasarawa State is gradually witnessing the inclusion of these practices, especially as more developers and policymakers recognize their potential economic advantages.
This study explores the relationship between sustainable building practices and property value appreciation in Nasarawa State, aiming to evaluate whether properties that incorporate green building elements appreciate in value faster than those built using conventional construction methods. The study will provide valuable insights for real estate developers, investors, and policymakers to understand the economic implications of sustainable building practices in the state.
Statement of the Problem
While sustainable building practices are believed to offer long-term economic and environmental benefits, their adoption in Nasarawa State has been slow. This is partly due to the perceived higher upfront costs associated with green buildings and a lack of awareness of the potential financial returns through property value appreciation. The real estate market in Nasarawa may not be fully capitalizing on the benefits of sustainable building practices, which may result in a missed opportunity for both developers and property owners. This study seeks to investigate the impact of sustainable building practices on property value appreciation in Nasarawa State and provide recommendations for encouraging their adoption.
Objectives of the Study

- To evaluate the economic advantages of adopting sustainable building practices for property developers in Nasarawa State.
- To examine the factors that influence the adoption of sustainable building practices in the real estate sector in Nasarawa State.
Research Questions
- How do sustainable building practices impact property value appreciation in Nasarawa State?
- What are the economic advantages of adopting sustainable building practices for property developers in Nasarawa State?
- What factors influence the adoption of sustainable building practices in Nasarawa State's real estate market?
Research Hypotheses
Ho1: Sustainable building practices have no significant impact on property value appreciation in Nasarawa State.
Ho2: There are no significant economic advantages for property developers in adopting sustainable building practices in Nasarawa State.

Scope and Limitations of the Study
The study will focus on real estate properties in Nasarawa State that have incorporated sustainable building practices. It will assess the impact of these practices on property value appreciation and explore the economic benefits for developers. Limitations include potential challenges in accessing data on property sales and valuation in the state, as well as a limited sample of properties that have adopted sustainable practices.
