Real estate agents replaced by AI in 90% of home sales by 2035, industry report predicts
NEW YORK – A shocking industry report released today predicts that by 2035, artificial intelligence will handle the majority of real estate transactions, rendering 9 out of 10 human agents obsolete. According to the study by the Global Housing Futures Institute, homebuyers and sellers now prefer AI-driven platforms for instant analysis of property values, automated negotiations, and zero-commission fees, with agents only needed for high-luxury or historic estates. “We’ve seen a 400% spike in AI-assisted purchases in the last year alone,” said lead analyst Dr. Eva Hartfield. “The tech can now predict market trends with 99% accuracy.” The shift has already sparked a housing boom in cities like Austin and Phoenix, where automated bots offer 24/7 open houses and real-time offer systems. Critics warn of job losses and a loss of human empathy, but proponents argue that real estate will become fairer and more accessible, with first-time buyers finally getting a seat at the table. The first fully AI-managed closed-loop sale—from search to key handoff—is expected in Los Angeles later this year.
