Inheritance headlines hide a lot of variance. Between healthcare costs, taxes, late-life spending, and liquidity constraints, what actually transfers is often very different from what’s on paper.

Really nice analysis. Did you notice if seasonality behaves differently across unit types or price segments?

Thanks! The part about brokers is interesting. Did that actually work for you, and was it worth it? How did you choose the right brokers and were they paid upfront or success-based?

Sometimes it worked, the definitionally last time it very much did not! Payment schemes were nogotiated to keep them on the ball, and I think that a little thing called Covid undermined their decent efforts that last time...

That’s a really good point. Thank you. Out of curiosity what kind of insights would actually make the choice easier for you? Which criteria or factors would you personally find most useful when evaluating properties?

Thanks, that’s a really great idea, I’ve noted it down. You’re absolutely right. Filtering out fake listings or negative landlord/seller histories can save a lot of time, money, and nerves.

John, thanks for your comment. I’ve been in real estate for about 10 years, studying how people actually make decisions and helping them choose the right property. Recently, launched a platform that uses deep analysis to evaluate listings before you see them, showing only the ones that genuinely match your needs and lifestyle. We’re constantly running tests and experiments.

What I doubt is that AI can provide a useful enough insight into my needs and desires so as to be able find appropriate real estate for me. It's not about evaluating listings, it's about the ability to evaluate me well enough. Even if it theoretically could (which I doubt), how could it possibly learn enough about me to actually do that? It would have to know me as well as my close friends do.

So, I guess me answer is no, I don't think AI can be very useful for this sort of thing.

Thanks, John. I really appreciate your thoughtful reply and totally understand your point. The idea isn’t to replace human understanding, but to let you share the key things that matter to you, so the system can surface only the most relevant options. The more facts and context it has, the more accurate the results become.

I remember going to a planetarium as a kid and seeing a booth where you could “buy land” on the Moon (or any other planet) and get a fancy certificate to prove it This project totally brings back that kind of charm, but with a digital twist.

It took me straight back to childhood.
