Tech transformation: How data is driving the real estate market like never before!

If you’ve been in Dubai for a while now, it comes as no surprise that the city runs smart, everything is easily and instantly accessible through your phone.

From smart innovations to implementing AI technologies across all boards, nothing is impossible. Similarly, Allsopp & Allsopp have also enhanced our business through the help of tech and data innovations.

And here’s how we did it…

We are data driven!

As you might have known, we have our very own Allsopp & Allsopp first-party data, which our data team sources every month to create our monthly market snapshots in line with Dubai Land Department data and our first-party data.

Not only does this create data transparency between us and our clients, it also helps the general audience keep up with the property market. The report is easy to understand and provides an in-depth market analysis of the property market in Dubai, taken through our first-party data.

Hosting data also gives our agents the knowledge and ability to keep up with buyers, sellers and tenants and to help them make well-informed decisions.

Why is this important?

Offering ease to your audience helps build confidence. So when your clients can access the property market and unlock insights into how the market is performing, they are more likely to trust you and come to you for their next property purchase.

New investors that are moving to Dubai often search for data in order to understand the market better and make informed decisions. When they have access to this data, they are more confident in their decision to move to Dubai.

Data transparency also helps many buyers and tenants understand whether buying or renting is right for them. Hence tech innovations enhance businesses as it gives your audience a chance to know everything they need to know in a simple click of a few buttons.

We always look for solutions!

Some solutions that our tech team has developed in-house include:

Mortgage Calculator

Ever wondered how you could calculate your mortgage?

We have all been there, seeing a property and contemplating how much this would cost us! Well, here’s a hack, at Allsopp & Allsopp, through the help of technology we created our very own Mortgage Calculator, which would give you an easy and in depth idea of how much you could wound up paying for your mortgage.

Including the interest rate, the amount of years and the price, you could calculate just how easy it could be to get a mortgage in Dubai. And ofcourse, we at Allsopp & Allsopp have our very own mortgage brokerage, so getting a pre-approval on those numbers would be quite easy!

Buying vs. Renting Calculator

And if you are curious to find out, what if we told you there was a tool that could tell you in seconds, whether buying is cheaper for you compared to your annual rent.

At Allsopp & Allsopp, we have an exciting tool - known as the buying vs. renting toolwhich can easily tell you whether a mortgage would be cheaper than your rent. Did you know, buying is 45% cheaper than renting in Dubai?
