AI-driven software development has lowered the technical barriers in proptech, enabling more rapid and widespread software creation by non-engineers. This shift forces real estate firms to rethink buy versus build strategies, especially leveraging proprietary data for in-house tools despite ongoing engineering demands for maintenance and code review.
