Top 21 Real Estate Technology & Property Trends for 2023
Real estate technology has been rapidly evolving in recent years, and the introduction of cutting-edge technologies in real estate promises to change the way business is conducted in this age-old industry. The real estate market is a major component of the world’s economy, with a global value of over $7 196 billion.In some respects, the adoption of technology in real estate has lagged behind its use in other business sectors. It was partially due to a reluctance to change methods that had worked well in the past. Another factor that slowed down the widespread use of real estate technology was major players’ attempts to develop proprietary real estate technology tools.
But now, these issues are fading, and the market has seen an increase in real estate tech in recent years.
7 Ways Buyer’s Agents are Using PropTech to Sell More Homes
The 2020 outbreak of COVID-19 may have forced us all outside of our technological comfort zones, but homebuyers and buyer’s agents seem to have adapted quite well to our new normal.
Proptech (short for property technology) has grown exponentially since the beginning of 2020, and according to a recent survey of homebuyers, sellers, and real estate agents, the real estate industry is all the better for it. An impressive 85% of buyers and sellers said that the explosion of new property and real estate technology makes them feel empowered to make informed decisions. And 81% of agents surveyed agree that proptech has made their job easier.
Thanks to proptech, buyer’s agents have been able to serve buyers even when state governors issued stay-at-home orders – and even in states that deemed real estate agents as “nonessential.” Because of proptech, 6 in 10 prospective homebuyers said that they participated in a virtual, video, or remote home showing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Of those, 63% ended up making an offer on a home they had never seen in person.
