Background of the Study
Virtual reality (VR) technology has found applications across various industries, including real estate marketing, where it has revolutionized how properties are showcased to potential buyers and renters. By creating immersive, interactive experiences, VR allows clients to view properties remotely and visualize potential changes, which enhances the decision-making process (Chen et al., 2024). As real estate marketing increasingly moves towards digital platforms, VR is becoming an indispensable tool for improving engagement and facilitating quicker sales.
In Sokoto State, a region experiencing gradual urbanization and growth in real estate investments, VR’s application in real estate marketing is still in its early stages. While VR adoption is relatively common in developed countries, its use in Nigerian real estate markets remains limited, particularly in northern states like Sokoto. However, the benefits of VR in providing realistic property tours and facilitating long-distance transactions are becoming apparent, particularly as Sokoto sees increasing interest from investors and buyers in both residential and commercial properties.
This study seeks to investigate the extent of VR application in Sokoto's real estate marketing, focusing on its effectiveness in improving client engagement, enhancing property visibility, and ultimately influencing property sales and rentals.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing global trend of using VR in real estate marketing, Sokoto’s real estate market has been slow to adopt these technologies. Factors such as high implementation costs, lack of awareness, and limited access to digital infrastructure have slowed adoption. Additionally, while traditional marketing methods such as print advertisements and physical viewings remain dominant, the effectiveness of VR in real estate marketing has not been sufficiently explored in Sokoto’s context.
This research aims to assess the effectiveness of VR in enhancing property marketing and sales in Sokoto, addressing barriers to its adoption and the potential for broader use of this technology in the region's real estate sector.
Objectives of the Study
- To assess the current level of virtual reality application in Sokoto’s real estate marketing.
- To evaluate the effectiveness of virtual reality in enhancing property visibility and client engagement in Sokoto.
- To identify the challenges and opportunities in adopting virtual reality in Sokoto’s real estate sector.
Research Questions
- To what extent is virtual reality currently applied in Sokoto’s real estate marketing?
- How effective is virtual reality in enhancing property visibility and client engagement in Sokoto?
- What are the challenges and opportunities for adopting virtual reality in Sokoto’s real estate sector?
Research Hypotheses
- Virtual reality is not widely applied in Sokoto’s real estate marketing.
- Virtual reality significantly enhances property visibility and client engagement in Sokoto’s real estate market.
- High costs and lack of technological infrastructure are the main barriers to virtual reality adoption in Sokoto’s real estate sector.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study will focus on the use of virtual reality in marketing residential and commercial properties in Sokoto. Data will be collected from real estate agents, developers, and potential buyers. Limitations include challenges in accessing VR application data from private developers and the potential for subjective perceptions of VR’s effectiveness.
