Against a backdrop of economic uncertainty and growing climate anxiety, Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s property industry is using digital tools to drive value and create better places for people and the environment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More than a quarter (27%) of respondents to the latest Yardi \/ Property Council NZ<\/a> Proptech Survey think technology will play a major role in reshaping the way real estate portfolios are managed \u2013 up from 5% a year ago.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over half (52.5%) of respondents also said technology plays either a major or significant role in meeting their sustainability goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The survey of a small but senior cohort from Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s property industry was conducted in November 2022 to unpack attitudes and actions influencing property technology or proptech.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProperty is New Zealand\u2019s largest industry, generating 15% of our economic activity, 9% of jobs and contributing more than $41.2 billion to GDP,\u201d says Leonie Freeman, chief executive for Property Council New Zealand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“We are all bearing witness to game-changing innovations in everything from artificial intelligence to automation, big data to blockchain. The report suggests the property industry is using these technologies to create sustainable places where communities can thrive.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Just over a third (34%) of respondents nominated AI as the biggest impact technology ahead \u2013 up from 18% in just one year. Business process automation (27%), big data analytics (16%) and Internet of Things (16%) also ranked highly among technologies to watch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

The survey also identifies key obstacles to proptech adoption. A third (33%) of respondents said human behaviour was the biggest barrier, up from 22% the previous year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This doesn\u2019t surprise Yardi\u2019s Senior Regional Director for Asia Pacific, Bernie Devine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHuman behaviour is always hardest to change. While many companies are adopting advanced technology solutions to do everything from drive down emissions to get closer to their customers, a sizeable proportion of Aotearoa New Zealand\u2019s real estate industry is still operating from spreadsheets,\u201d Devine says.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But six in 10 respondents (60%) noted that interest rate and inflation increases had sharpened their focus on operational efficiencies and cost reductions. \u201cCosts are a lower barrier to proptech adoption than they were 12 months ago \u2013 and this is a positive sign that we\u2019ll see further market momentum,\u201d Devine concludes. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
