The real estate technology landscape in Southeast Asia is evolving beyond its initial hype, entering a phase focused on building sustainable, efficient, and profitable businesses. Darius Mahtani Cheung and Richard Bracken discussed how artificial intelligence is playing a growing role in this transformation, enhancing services like property valuations and enabling more intuitive search experiences.

They also note that as property technology becomes more transactional and digital-first, it is increasingly converging with fintech and insurance.
