It is the purpose of this study to critically analyze the effects of economic changes on real property management with focus on Onitsha property market.
      It is also the intention of the study to guide Estate Surveyors operating in a variable economy on the possible ways to cope with the situation to achieve positive results.
      1.4       OBJECTIVES OF STUDY
      The specific objectives of this research are:
      To investigate the major cause of economic problems in Ontsha as they affect property market;
      To suggest possible ways to revamp Onitsha real property market;
      To establish the relationship between the real estate economy and the general business economy;
      To ascertain the effects of economic variations on real property management in Onitsha;
      To encourage Estate Surveyors to always analyze the real property market to enable them manage economic fluctuations and crises;
      To emphasize the need for employing professional Estate Surveyors in both private and public sectors to offer advise and render property management services in order to make the life of the real property to last longer especially, at this time of economic problems.
      1.5       HYPOTHESIS FORMULATION
      For the purpose of verification and possible confirmation, this hypothesis is formulated and postulated as follows:
      HO:    Economic Variations do not have impact on real property management.
      HI:      Economic Variations have impact on real property management.
      1.6       RELEVANCE OF STUDY

      1.7       SCOPE OF STUDY
      The study traced the origin of the economic problems in Nigeria and suggested possible solutions. The policies of the government to revamp the economy led to economic changes. The effects of these economic variations on real property management especially, in Onitsha property market, are vividly emphasized. The relationship between the real estate economy and the general business economy was critically examined. The work reviewed the functions and responsibilities of a property manager; and also, the real property management procedures were demonstrated practically.
      1.8       LIMITATIONS OF STUDY
      Some factors militated against the success of this work, though the researcher endeavoured to accommodate them. Thus, some of the constraints inherent in the course of carrying out the research include, among others, the peculiar nature of real property market. It is not like commercial markets where one can easily come
      face to face with both the buyers and sellers to get information he wants. In real property market, information are not easily circulated among Estate Surveyors. Vital  information  required  by  the  researcher  from  some  respondent  Estate Surveyors were not collected due to pressure of work and other commitments facing them during the time the researcher required those information.
