Technology is changing several aspects of our lives and this includes, but not limited to, the way we identify properties to buy. We are in the information age which means people can easily access information relating to the real estate market at the click of a button.

Back in the days, if you wanted to buy a house you had to take a physical tour of the property and make your assessment on the ground. In today’s market, assessing whether a property fits what you would like to purchase relies on much more than just the physical attributes.

Some people go as far as enquiring about the previous occupants, and any historical incidences associated with the property. And with advances in technology, companies are using network infrastructure technologies like Blockchain to provide easy access to such information. This also means that unlike in the old days, people can now compare several properties within minutes to identify their preferred choice. This has significantly reduced the time it takes for property dealers to complete a sale.

Theoretically, having several options should give the buyers more bargaining power than they would have had several years back. But this isn’t the case, some asking prices are still over the top. Nonetheless, there are some platforms that can assist you to buy your house for its market value by linking you to sellers that want to dispose of their property quickly.

Online platforms have created a massive marketplace that can help sellers to buy and sell houses quicker. They have contributed to the increase in the number of options that property buyers can choose from.

And now with blockchain technology, property dealers can add as much detail as possible to the properties on sale. This has ideally simplified the real estate market making it more accessible and transparent to both buyers and sellers thereby contributing to the growth of the industry.

Today’s real estate market is not only composed of property agents, buyers, and sellers, but it also attracts those interested in gathering and distributing data, an area that has benefited immensely from the increasing adoption of blockchain technology.
