Prominent among the upstarts is ZeroDown<\/a>, a venture based in San Francisco since 2018. The company\u2019s model consists of buying homes for cash on behalf of its customers, before the customers then purchase the home from ZeroDown up to five years later.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Similar shared ownership schemes are on offer from several other players in the sector, including Haus<\/a>, Patch Homes<\/a>, and Divvy<\/a>. While each company has its own unique approach, they share the goal of widening access to home purchasing. What\u2019s more, that these enterprises have all emerged only relatively recently suggests the trend for innovation in home ownership is only just beginning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If the process of buying and selling real estate is becoming \u201csmarter\u201d, then so too are properties themselves. This is down to the proliferation of internet-connected devices and appliances in our homes. A trend that can be said to have hit the mainstream in recent years through products such as smart speakers and televisions, today connectivity comes packaged into everything from washing machines to window blinds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Leading innovators in this space include the now Google-acquired Nest Labs<\/a>, makers of sensor-driven, Wi-Fi-enabled, self-learning thermostats and smoke detectors. They are joined in an increasingly crowded smart home market by companies such as SmartThings<\/a> - acquired by Samsung - and Ring<\/a>, a home security company that was snapped up by Amazon in 2018. <\/p>\n\n\n\n That so many of the world\u2019s tech majors have made acquisitions in the space suggests that big bets are being made on smart home as a growth market of the future. Among the innovations we can expect to see going forward are refrigerators that autonomously reorder items missing from their shelves and wardrobes that can clean and iron clothes on-demand. with a few taps of a smartphone app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yet the smart home phenomenon runs deeper than simply adding internet connectivity to home appliances. Today, innovation is built into the very foundations of property, as the construction industry experiences its own digital transformation. Computer vision, machine learning, drones and internet of things: these technologies and many more are now brought to bear on every aspect of the design, planning, and realization of building projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Among the many startups pioneering new solutions in construction is HoloBuilder<\/a>. Founded in Silicon Valley in 2016, the company\u2019s enterprise software-as-a-service documents construction projects with AI-powered 360\u00b0 image technology. Fieldwire<\/a> is another disruptor; a field management platform designed specifically for construction, the company has to date attracted more than $40 million in funding since its founding in 2013. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Elsewhere, more and more companies are developing construction industry use cases for unmanned aerial vehicles. DroneDeploy<\/a>, a Bay Area startup founded in 2013, is just one example. The company\u2019s drone software for real-time mapping and data processing has attracted some $90 million in funding to date.

Yet for one group of entrepreneurs, the problem of house price inflation has been the catalyst for innovation.
