siliconindia | | December 20194RERA has surely brought-in the much needed transparency in the real estate sector. This plus the increasing returns and private investments in the sector will drive the industry to reach a market size of $1 trillion by 2030, contributing to 13 percent of the country's GDP by 2025 (IBEF). With more people trying to get their dream home, technology will play an increasingly crucial role in driving the sector further. To top this, the increasing income bracket of the consumers will add the much needed fuel, thus driving the growth further. On the other hand, both affordable and luxury markets will swell. 3D is the past; Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality are the two wheels that will steer the space further. Further AI-powered real estate websites will act as a binder between the builders & buyers, and even the owners & tenants. But with numerous projects and limited timeframe, customers need a place where they can source relevant and effective information that can drive their buying decision. Cutting the clutter right in between are the modern day's real estate websites, who act as one point source for all information, whether it's approvals, certifications, features of the project, bank loans and others.
