How Big Data Is Impacting the Real Estate Industry

-
Traditionally, real estate prices have been determined mostly by the number of people moving in and out of an area, along with the availability of jobs, shops, and other opportunities for families. These factors then were summed in simple mathematical models and used by real estate agents to decide home values. But in reality, it’s a mix of factors that work in delicate balance with each other to determine trends in real estate markets.

The nearest equivalent was cited as the Navy’s Littoral Com
