Modern tech has considerably impacted the real estate market, innovating efficiencies and opportunities for buyers, sellers, and industry professionals alike. We’ve highlighted some of the standout trends below:

Portech (Property Technology)

PropTech is the integration of technology to improve and enhance the real estate sector. It comprises an array of applications for property management, marketing, sales, and transaction processing. They are looking to streamline the buying, selling, and management of properties.

Examples: Property Apps, Real Estate & Facility Management Software (REMS), Automated Valuation Models (AVMs)

Artificial Intelligence (AI) & Machine Learning

It is being used more now than ever to improve property search, market predictions and even automate many administrative tasks. Machine learning algorithms will analyze large volumes of data to offer better market forecasts, personalized property matching and dynamic pricing models.

Applications: Chatbots powered by AI, property price prediction algorithms, and predictive analytics of market trends.

Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR)

Ok, so VR and AR are making property tours more accessible than ever. Virtual walkthroughs allow buyers to navigate in house, out of the house without visiting it. Augmented Reality (AR) can be used for the digital staging of homes or interior design visualization.

Use Cases: Virtual tours of homes in 3D, AR staging, and out-of-state home investing

Smart Contracts and Blockchain

Blockchain technology allows for more secure property transactions. By automating the exchange of real estate assets, smart contracts minimize the involvement of third parties like brokers and lawyers, making for a faster and cheaper transaction process.

Advantages: Decreased deception, improved transaction speeds, and enhanced transparency attribute to property transfers.

Big Data Analytics

With big data, real estate companies are able to make the right decisions in terms of property values, investments and market trends. Investors can also use location-based data to reveal where new markets are emerging as well as which neighborhoods are building up quickly.

Example:  Tools that track neighborhood development, appreciation trends, and crime indicators.

Internet of Things (IoT)

IoT devices are being incorporated into houses for the smother, more connective living places. Related: Effective smart home lighting in bathrooms. This includes thermostats, security systems and/or lighting that add instant value to the living place.

Applications: Smart homes with efficient energy systems, monitoring of security in the house, and automation.

Drones

Drone technology is being increasingly adopted in real estate for conducting aerial photography, videography, and top inspections. This technology allows for a different view of properties, especially large tracts of land or houses located in an area that can be difficult to access.

Use Case: Shiny aerial shots for high-end real estate, big parcels of land, or properties

3D Printing

3D PRINTING Technology is being implemented in real estate to build homes. This construction can be much more affordable and faster, and the option to customize a workshop model in your house offers different prices for you.

Potential: Fast, low-cost sustainable housing.

Crowdfunding Platforms

In addition, crowdfunding platforms enable people to combine their money with other investors in order to raise enough funds and invest in real estate. This opens up the market, allowing smaller input to partake in bigger real estate projects.

Platforms: RealtyMogul,  Fundrise, Crowdstreet

Digital Twins

Digital twins are the digital replication of tangible properties with high fidelity simulations and detailed executions. This technology assists in the management, design optimization and lifecycle of real estate assets.

Applications: Smart Building Monitoring, Predictive Maintenance and Energy Efficiency Management

Overall, these technologies are changing the way people buy real estate, sell it, and manage it to inject more efficiency and individualization into this real-time human behavior process. Would you like to see any of these in more detail—especially if your home search is taking place in St. John?
