The discovery of oil has played a major role in the business industry. From electricity to the development of transportation and communication, oil serves as the foundation of many infrastructures and manufacturing companies. Vehicles, airplanes, and ships use oil to run automotive engines in order to transport people in different places, and to deliver goods in their respective destinations. Aside from its contribution in transportation, oil also serves as the building block of electricity by supplying energy to power sources. Indeed, oil has been coined as the “lifeblood of an industrialized society.”
In today’s digital era, modernization extends the contribution of oil to new innovations in the community. Electricity has empowered the internet and cyberspace to be available for public use. In various commercial enterprises, cyberspace serves as the major platform to connect people from one another. Through the use of internet and computer technology, it is now possible for businesses to have a virtual workplace and maintain a work from home arrangement.
The impact of oil, electricity and the internet continue to shape the business community, including the real estate industry. One of the resulting products of these three components is data analytics. As with oil, data analytics also creates a huge significance to the society.
Same with other businesses, data analytics has become the fundamental structure of various automation tools in the real estate industry. It also serves as the basic element in finding deals through spreadsheets. For this reason, many have started to believe that “data is the new oil” in real estate investing. Here are the valuable contributions of data analytics in real estate:
Property Valuation
In making property valuation, the real estate investor takes a lot of considerations such as the condition of the property, appraisal methods, market value, and the property comparables. It takes time and effort to complete a CMA (Comparative Market Analysis), especially for new investors.
Through the use of automated valuation technology, doing a large number of comps can now be done faster. At Real Estate IQ, we want to empower your journey through freedom and success. In this line, we offer you investment tools that can help you accomplish your business goals.
