For the most updated about technology, we’ve noticed how virtual reality has taken over the US in the last few months. From video gaming, movies, to reading the latest news across the globe, virtual reality has provided its viewers a genuine, immersive experience of a particular environment they would never forget.
But did you know that this new technology is now available for real estate not only in the Philippines but in the ENTIRE SOUTHEAST ASIA? Several prominent developers like Ayala Land Premier, Amaia Land, Anchor Land, and Crown Asia have already adopted virtual reality in its property viewings, and will make it available in the near future to a broker near you.
Now why should this something to look forward for you? Here are five reasons why you should demand virtual reality from your broker on your next property review.
1. You can view the property wherever you are and whenever you want.
If there’s one thing we would all band on, it would be our severe dislike to part with our precious time if there’s nothing of value gained. Going to “trippings” or property reviews can take almost half a day, more so if you account your journey to the property’s location and if you decide to explore the surrounding neighborhood.
Virtual reality, on the other hand, allows you to demand a property viewing from your broker right then and there. Because it simulates the experience of doing a property viewing, your broker can simply show up on your doorstep and literally conduct the tripping using a pair of 360 Virtual Reality Googles.
2. You can take a tour of pre-selling properties.
Viewing a pre-selling property in 360 virtual reality gives you the chance to really explore every nook, crevice, and cranny of the property of a model house or unit. For visual thinkers like me, being able to see and experience the home is like seeing the future as a new homeowner, and can give you a whole new perspective of your developer’s plans.
3. You’ll be curious to explore (and invest in) cross-regional properties for sale or rent.
The Philippines is made up of 7,107 islands, making it difficult to explore properties that are worth the investment, even for Filipinos. But doing a property viewing of a condominium in Cebu, or a house and lot near your hometown in Davao using virtual reality makes whittling down or even choosing your future investment a whole lot easier.
4. For OFWs, 360 virtual reality can help take back control as the primary homebuying decision makers.
If you are an overseas Filipino worker, it is all too common to ask your significant other or close family members to do majority of the homebuying process. But given the fact that you will be the one who will pay for your future home, it would be nice to have that purchasing power back.
Because of the incredible level of detail captured in virtual reality, home seekers, especially OFWs, can have the ability to make a home purchase from afar. Through virtual reality, OFWs get to see what the actual properties they have been offered and make the primary decisions based on their assessment, and not that of second parties, however well-intentioned the latter is.
5. 360 Virtual reality allows home seekers to make quicker, smarter home buying choices.
Nothing beats like going to a candy store and choosing what treats you’d like to buy. Using 360 virtual reality as a medium, however, cuts the time spent on property selection and review. Virtual reality, moreover, reconfirms what’s actually available in the market out there.
By viewing property options in virtual reality, a home seeker like you can now distinguish what exactly is a luxury, mid range, or an affordable property would actually look like. They can also determine from interactive displays of a neighborhood whether the property has a high property market value or not.
