GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The finding suggests AI research tools are becoming a routine part of home-shopping rather than a niche behavior, which could shift how buyers approach agents already armed with data. It may also pressure real estate platforms and agents to adapt their services to clients who arrive with AI-generated insights.
