The illiquid nature of real estate

Real estate, by its nature, is an illiquid asset class. The sale of a property involves a myriad of stages - from listing the property and attracting potential buyers to conducting inspections, navigating a sea of paperwork, and finally closing the deal. This intricate and often time-consuming process, coupled with high transaction costs and the regulatory hurdles that accompany the sale of real estate, significantly dents the liquidity of real estate assets. This inherent lack of liquidity isn't merely an attribute of real estate; it's a fundamental characteristic that directly shapes the methods used to value properties.

The advent of tokenization, buoyed by the rise of secondary markets for trading tokenized assets, threatens to disrupt the long-established liquidity dynamics of the real estate industry. Secondary markets offer a platform for buyers and sellers to trade tokenized shares of real estate, thereby introducing a degree of liquidity that has been largely absent from this sector. This transformation effectively makes real estate investments more akin to equities, where investors can buy and sell shares in a company at the click of a button. The implications of this shift are profound, with the potential for quicker, more cost-effective transactions and a far more inclusive market that opens up real estate investment to individuals and entities worldwide.
