There has been a growing hype about the introduction of AI in the real estate sector. But how will this be introduced? AI can be a powerful partner when it comes to improve building efficiency and safety. Companies like WeWork, and smart buildings like The Edge (see the video below), are already putting their cards on the table when it comes to analysing user behaviour in their shared office space to redesign the spaces, and to improve their services offer. For sure you already had the feeling of “God, I forgot to buy Carrie’s present and her birthday is in 3 days”, and then you though “I am buying something quickly online”. The customers expectations when buying, and towards the deliver date, pushed logistics business to take a giant leap that might face a few challenges. We’re going to see investments in network communications in the same way we may have looked at hard infrastructure investment in the past. PWC Report 2020.
Should you worry about low inflation when buying property abroad? Some investors ask about the lack of inflation and whether it still matters. Based on the understanding that we have always sold real estate on the following argument: because of inflation, your investment will always be protected — it’s a hedge protection. Today, however, we don’t have inflation or, if we do, it’s a mere few percent. When investors ask if it stills matters, the answer is yes. Inflation in the Euro area is currently at 1.3% as of June 2019, and is not expected to soar substantially in the coming years. If, for one reason or another, inflation were to recover further, real estate investors could benefit because, besides a potential rise in the value of their investments, rental contracts are generally indexed and reviewed upwards on a regular basis, as in the UK. A continuous, long-lasting lack of inflation would be bad news for a property investor. But in case of deflation, we also see a decrease of asset values, and that is no good news either. Inflation still matters, and we hope to have a return of a healthy inflation of 2% in the coming years – though, as ECB president Mario Draghi said, we must be patient.

Now let’s talk about a few real estate advices for sellers: Socialize: Staying home is safe, warm, comfortable and cheap; but it also does nothing for your business. Get out of the house and go out with friends. Socializing can lead you to the perfect client. Whether you initiate a conversation or someone just overhears you chatting with a friend, discussing your real estate business in a social setting can be very beneficial. Negotiate renovations with the seller: Are you trying to sell a house with an outdated kitchen? Could the bathrooms use some work? Ask the seller if he or she would be willing to fix things up a bit. Investing in repairs will not only help the house sell, but it’ll give you something exciting to talk about during showings. Homebuyers love a fresh, current home!
Why Liveio? A complete marketplace to find and advertise property online. The idea behind Liveio was formed around a big gap in the market. We, the Swedish founders of the service, couldn’t find a smart and innovative platform around that gave the user the opportunity to browse and compare properties in different countries. There existed national alternatives, but not really a online plattform that were able to integrate real-estate markets in the whole of Europe. After a couple intense months of developing we can now proudly present the smoothest and most comprehensive way to buy, sell and rent property. Visit: www.liveio.com.
