Trend #1: AI Real Estate

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is significantly transforming the real estate sector by enhancing various aspects of the industry, including investing, decision-making, and customer service. AI applications in real estate range from analytics that inform investment strategies to automation that improve customer experiences for professionals like appraisers, mortgage lenders, developers, and homeowners. AI tools in real estate include automated property valuation models, virtual home tours, and AI-driven marketing tools, which help real estate agents offer more personalized services to their clients.
Trend #2: Where tech sees the industry heading

MetaProp, one of the premiere proptech startup accelerators, published a report that shows insights into how tech founders and investors think of the market. The confidence index shown above illustrates the headwinds real estate felt following the credit crunches as felt by the tech industry. It’s an unconventional data point to look at, but it reflects what we’ve all felt on the ground in the last 12-24 months. There are tons of other great tidbits in there too. For example, 41% of investors are most interested in solutions for multi-family. So despite the economics of high interest rates being unfavorable to multi-family right now, tech investors seem to remain bullish on that asset type from an innovation and software development perspective. The report is linked above and worth a read.
