AI (Artificial Intelligence) is expected to have a big impact on the real estate industry. From a recent article by The Real Deal, AI has the power to transform and improve various aspects of
residential real estate technology. One important use of AI is in predicting property prices
accurately by analyzing large amounts of data, such as historical sales and market trends. This
can help both buyers and sellers make better-informed decisions. AI can also enhance the
process of property search by providing personalized recommendations based on individual
preferences and needs. Additionally, AI-powered chatbots can assist with customer inquiries
and provide quick responses to common questions. Overall, AI has the potential to revolutionize

accurately predict property prices and analyze market trends, multifamily investors can make
more informed decisions when it comes to investing in apartments. AI can help identify
profitable opportunities, assess risks, and optimize portfolio management. By leveraging AI-
powered tools, investors can gain valuable insights into market demand, rental trends, and
