#55 The role of AI in property valuation: Accuracy, efficiency, and beyond


Let's face it, property valuation sometimes doesn't make much sense for us as normal people. It takes forever, costs a fortune, and you never know if that number on the report is actually right. But hey, that's the way it's always been, right? Wrong! Very wrong. 

This is where that fancy new tech, Artificial Intelligence (AI), comes in to support us. (Keeping in mind that humans have written the code for the AI, therefore there could still be errors but perhaps fewer - and I'm going to explain why!)


Spot-on Numbers


AI algorithms can work with a huge mountain of information – past sales, market trends, demographics and more all at the same time – ultimately giving us more accurate valuations.  AI can see patterns that a human can miss. 


Faster Than a Bullet


Remember when weeks would pass waiting for an appraisal? AI streamlines the whole process. Imagine this: you upload some pictures of your property, and the valuation pops up on your screen. No more paperwork mountains, no more endless back-and-forth.


The Crystal Ball of Real Estate


AI uses its fancy data analysis skills to predict market trends and research for hidden investment gems. Furthermore, it could spot potential problems in the property records and legal documents, saving you from weird surprises down the road. 


Let's say it all…


Now, AI isn't perfect.  We need to make sure the data it uses is clean and unbiased, and that all the fancy algorithms follow the rules. And while AI is a wizard with numbers, it doesn't have that human touch, which is so important! A good appraiser can still sniff out things a computer might miss, so they're not going anywhere just yet.


The Future is Bright


AI is transforming property valuation, making it faster, more accurate, and even a little predictive. This is a win for everyone –  investors, homeowners, lenders. So, embrace it, because the future of real estate is about to get a whole lot more exciting, and less time-consuming!
