Background of the Study
Property technology (PropTech) refers to the use of technology to streamline and innovate various aspects of the real estate industry, including property management, transaction processes, and investment strategies (Adeoye & Bello, 2024). With the rapid advancement of digital tools and platforms, PropTech startups are emerging as key players in reshaping the traditional real estate market, offering innovative solutions such as virtual property tours, blockchain-based property transactions, and real-time property valuation systems (Shittu & Adebanjo, 2023). The integration of technology into real estate has the potential to reduce inefficiencies, enhance transparency, and increase accessibility for both investors and consumers.
In Kwara State, real estate has experienced steady growth, driven by urbanization and a growing population. However, the sector has traditionally been characterized by inefficiencies, lack of transparency, and slow adoption of technology (Akinwale & Yusuf, 2023). PropTech startups are gradually making inroads in transforming these conventional practices by offering more efficient, cost-effective, and data-driven solutions to real estate professionals. These startups are enabling real estate businesses to leverage technology to improve property management, customer service, and marketing, ultimately leading to more informed decision-making processes and better financial returns.
Despite the growing interest in PropTech, there is limited research on its impact on real estate business models in specific Nigerian states, particularly in Kwara State. This study will examine how PropTech startups are influencing real estate business models in Kwara State and identify the key benefits and challenges associated with integrating these technologies into the local real estate market.
Statement of the Problem
Although PropTech has gained significant traction in more developed real estate markets globally, its adoption in Kwara State remains limited. The integration of technology into the real estate sector in the state faces challenges such as lack of awareness, digital literacy, and infrastructure issues. Many real estate professionals in Kwara State still rely on traditional business models that are often inefficient and time-consuming. Without a comprehensive understanding of the role and impact of PropTech startups in transforming business models, there is a risk of slow adoption and missed opportunities for growth in the state’s real estate market. This study will explore how PropTech startups can address these challenges and contribute to the modernization of the real estate industry in Kwara State.
