The technological transformation of real estate: How AI is reshaping the industry

Bhaker, Abhimanyu (2025) The technological transformation of real estate: How AI is reshaping the industry. World Journal of Advanced Research and Reviews, 26 (2). pp. 2315-2323. ISSN 2581-9615

The residential real estate industry is experiencing a profound technological revolution driven by artificial intelligence systems that are fundamentally restructuring how properties are researched, evaluated, and transacted. This article examines the technical architecture behind six key AI innovations transforming the real estate landscape. From conversational interfaces powered by large language models and knowledge graphs to comprehensive API ecosystems that democratize previously restricted data, these technologies are shifting power from information gatekeepers to consumers. The article further explores computational visualization tools enabling virtual property redesign, sophisticated machine learning models for market forecasting, and computer vision systems that extract structured insights from property imagery. Despite remarkable advances, significant challenges remain in data standardization, privacy protection, model explainability, and bias mitigation. By providing a technical foundation for understanding these systems, this article illuminates not only how AI is currently reshaping real estate processes but also how emerging technologies like blockchain, federated learning, and IoT integration are poised to further transform property transactions and valuations in the coming decade.
