There was a swift economic rebound seen after the pandemic in the Middle East, which has allowed its property market to boom, along with the relaxed residency rules.
This exponential growth has highlighted some of the value chain gaps that exist in the region’s real estate industry.
These highlight the numerous opportunities available for embracing digital transformation and are capable of shaping just what the market will look like in the next decade.
The real estate industry
The world is changing rapidly due to digitalization, as it is transforming how people consume, work and interact and this also applies to the real estate industry.
Innovative technologies should be harnessed by stakeholders in the real estate industry, such as agents, brokers, developers, property managers and investors for improving reporting capabilities, enhancing data utilization and offering a dependable and unified source of data.
This can assist professionals in prioritizing strategic business objectives, maintaining a competitive edge in the market and delivering a better customer experience.
