Background of the Study
Artificial intelligence (AI) has made significant strides in various sectors, and its application in real estate is no exception. AI technologies, such as machine learning and predictive analytics, have begun to play an increasingly vital role in property valuation and pricing, offering more accurate, data-driven insights into market trends and property values. In Kaduna State, property valuation has traditionally been a subjective process, relying heavily on the judgment of human appraisers and the use of outdated methods that can lead to inconsistencies and errors. The integration of AI in property valuation can help overcome these challenges by automating data analysis, evaluating vast amounts of historical market data, and generating more precise property price estimates (Ogunleye et al., 2024).
AI algorithms can analyze a variety of factors influencing property value, including location, property features, market conditions, and historical transaction data, to predict future pricing trends. This shift toward AI-powered property valuation offers several advantages, such as faster valuation processes, reduced human error, and enhanced consistency in pricing. In Kaduna State, where the real estate market is evolving rapidly, the adoption of AI for property valuation could lead to more informed decisions by investors, developers, and buyers. However, despite its potential, AI in property valuation has not yet been fully embraced in Kaduna, and stakeholders remain cautious about the reliability and accuracy of AI-generated valuations. This study seeks to explore the current role of AI in property valuation and pricing in Kaduna State, assess its potential benefits, and evaluate the factors that influence its adoption in the local market.
Statement of the Problem
Despite the growing recognition of AI’s potential in property valuation, its adoption in Kaduna State has been slow. Traditional methods of property valuation continue to dominate, and many real estate professionals and property owners are skeptical about the accuracy and reliability of AI-driven valuation tools. Concerns about the complexity of AI technologies, the cost of implementation, and the lack of awareness about the benefits of AI in property pricing are some of the key barriers to its adoption. Moreover, there is limited research on how AI is currently being applied in property valuation in Kaduna, and what impact it may have on the local real estate market. The lack of empirical data on the effectiveness of AI tools in predicting property prices in Kaduna’s unique market conditions further complicates the decision to embrace AI in property valuation.
Objectives of the Study
- To investigate the current role of artificial intelligence in property valuation and pricing in Kaduna State.
- To evaluate the potential benefits and challenges of using AI in property valuation in Kaduna State.
- To explore the factors influencing the adoption of AI in property valuation by real estate professionals in Kaduna.
Research Questions
- What is the current role of artificial intelligence in property valuation and pricing in Kaduna State?
- What are the benefits and challenges of using AI in property valuation in Kaduna?
- What factors influence the adoption of AI in property valuation by real estate professionals in Kaduna?
Research Hypotheses
- Artificial intelligence is currently being used for property valuation and pricing in Kaduna State, though at a limited scale.
- The adoption of AI in property valuation in Kaduna State offers significant benefits, including improved accuracy and efficiency.
- Factors such as awareness, cost, and technical expertise influence the adoption of AI for property valuation in Kaduna State.
Scope and Limitations of the Study
This study focuses on the use of artificial intelligence in property valuation and pricing in Kaduna State, Nigeria. It will explore the experiences of real estate professionals, property investors, and developers who have been involved in or exposed to AI-powered valuation systems. Limitations of the study include potential biases in self-reported data from participants and the rapidly evolving nature of AI technologies, which may limit the generalizability of findings over time.
