50% of buyers cry when buying a home!

Crying Over Real Estate?

A few months ago, I (Steve) was in a webinar about artificial intelligence in the real estate industry, and one of the presenters mentioned a survey Zillow conducted showing that half of all buyers cried “at least once during their home-buying journey.” And among younger, more likely first-time buyers, the number was above 60%.

So, why was this sad statistic mentioned in a meeting about AI? Because it was a reminder that the human side of real estate will continue to be important, even as the world of tech evolves and changes the ways we work, shop, and live.
