Hello World! Welcome Friends! Nowadays, technology is a constituent part of all aspects of our daily lives, and it’s not surprising to see that it has also made its way into real estate. Although technology has been lagging in entering this field, it is now an integrated part of it, facilitating both the work of real estate agents and the access to information for potential clients, which leads to a reduction in the costs of properties.
Technological advances are shaping the way selling and buying take place and facilitate the whole process. Take this example, SaveMax listings in Toronto. Here, the vast majority of available properties in Toronto are already listed on the site.
In this way, you save yourself from the regular visits to your real estate agent’s office or the hassle of walking around town to see which homes are for sale. It can be complicated to keep up with advances in technology. However, this is essential when you are in a constantly developing market.
With digital innovation, economies and markets continue to change, needles reinventing the way business is conducted. Here are some ways you can use technology to drive down the costs of real estate.
Proptech
Also known as the new real estate technology, it is an industry that deals with facilitating real estate acquisitions; and the management and investment in real estate properties, respectively. Proptech refers mainly to the software used in real estate applications. It has a wide range of functions, from the possibility of listing properties to mortgage applications, all to facilitate the sale-purchase or rental process and market research and managing property.
In recent years it has enjoyed tremendous growth, with more and more people interested in what this technology has to offer and also with more and more real estate firms moving their business online.
As the industry shows no signs of deceleration, the new generation of homebuyers and real estate agents embrace these smart alternatives for faster and easier services and more cost-effective housing.
Big Data
Designed to store considerable amounts of information on consumer preferences and other determinants of property prices in order to predict real estate pricing accurately, databases are essential. Before the introduction and popularization of Big data, real estate agents used to determine prices based on the trends of previous years and their professional expertise. This led to sometimes inflated house prices that did not match reality, with most properties being priced far above what they were worth.
Nowadays, big data analytics enables precise and accurate data in real-time. The most notable aspect of big data is the accuracy with which it can identify and store even the smallest differences between streets and even buildings in a neighborhood.
Whereas in the past, all the houses in a neighborhood were considered together, now each individual property is analyzed from every angle: proximity to facilities such as shops, entertainment amenities, access to public transport, proximity to schools, and more.
Moreover, big data also analyzes the future because it considers upcoming investments in the area or infrastructure projects. Because of this, home prices are in line with the property’s value, and you can avoid inflated prices.
Renting and Buying Property Apps
One of the technologies that have most streamlined the real estate industry is the mobile industry, specifically the existence of downloadable real estate apps. Among these, the most popular uses are those for buying and renting properties.
These applications bring with them numerous advantages, both for buyers and real estate agents. First of all, clients have direct access to a database where they can find the vast majority of houses listed in their area of interest and no longer need to ask for such information.
Most apps have features where you can select exactly what you are looking for in a property, and once you find it, the app will put you in touch with a real estate agent to help you complete the buying or renting process.
Virtual House Tours
With the onset of the pandemic came a major problem in the real estate market: property viewings. But this problem ended and now has a solution, thanks to technological advances in business marketing such as virtual property tours.
Thanks to their success, virtual tours have remained a practice even after restrictions ended, marking a new direction for the real estate sector. Among the main advantages is saving transit time to each property the client wishes to view.
You can now view the house from the comfort of your own home or even on your break from work. In addition, the waiting lists and queues that used to arise in order to view listed properties have disappeared.
