The Emergence of Artificial Intelligence in Real Estate
By
now, you’re probably acutely aware that “Artificial Intelligence” (AI) is
gaining popularity in all aspects of the world we live in. Many homes now use
AI for programmable thermostats, doorbells, security systems, lighting,
music, even notifying homeowners if the garage door is open or closed. Just
recently, at a HOA conference, we were introduced to a new an artificial intelligence tool for homeowners
and Realtors to help track the financial investment in your home.
By
the time the average American reaches 65 years of age, 83% of their personal
wealth will come from their home equity. As a homeowner, you probably realize
you should maximize the wealth in your home. And, like most, you probably
realize there are many different ways to do so. But it can be complicated,
and you may not have the time to figure it out. AI planners soon will assist as a financial
planner that enables you to quickly and easily analyze and maximize the
wealth from the single largest asset you will ever own.
Additionally,
considering most American’s personal wealth is from real estate, perhaps the
purchase of an investment property could be a wise addition to your portfolio
and wealth management. Knowing how much equity you have available in your
home can be helpful in the potential leverage and purchasing power you may
have to acquire a viable investment property.
The
bottom line is that artificial intelligence is now an embedded technology in
the world we live in.
