ABSTRACT
The study examined the effectiveness of real estate–based Internally Generated Revenue (IGR) sources across six purposively selected Local Government Areas (LGAs) in Oyo State, to evaluate their contribution to fiscal sustainability. Adopting a quantitative research design, 150 structured questionnaires were distributed to officers directly engaged in IGR administration and real estate management, with 137 retrieved (91.3% response rate). Data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, including mean scores, standard deviations, and factor analysis. Findings showed a well-educated and experienced workforce, with 59.1% of respondents holding bachelor’s degrees and 82.5% demonstrating high awareness of IGR processes. Among twenty-two identified factors, virtual and augmented reality for property sales ranked highest in effectiveness (mean = 4.35), followed by income levels and affordability (mean = 4.15) and automated rent collection (mean = 4.01). The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) value of 0.830 and Bartlett’s test significance at p < 0.001 confirmed data suitability for factor analysis. Six principal components emerged, which are: Regulatory, Fiscal and Sustainability Factors; Market Dynamics and Demand-Side Economics; Legal and Institutional Governance; Technological Innovation and Infrastructure; Financial Accessibility and Affordability; and Digitization and Operational Efficiency; accounting cumulatively for 68.17% of total variance. The results highlight the growing role of digital innovation, fiscal reforms, and financial accessibility in strengthening real estate-driven revenue performance. The study concludes that real estate IGR sources, when efficiently managed through technology and institutional collaboration, can significantly enhance local government fiscal independence and sustainable economic development in Oyo State.
