PropTech Trends in 2025: Where Canada Stands and Why it Matters
The real estate industry is undergoing a digital transformation, fueled by innovative technologies that are changing the way we buy, sell, and manage properties. This wave of innovation, known as PropTech, is revolutionizing the industry, and Canada is playing a significant role in this global movement.
A recent report by Proptech Collective highlights the exciting growth of ProTech in Canada, with a surge of startups emerging in the last decade. The report suggests that the industry is entering a new era, driven by evolving customer expectations, a focus on efficiency, and the potential of AI.
Key PropTech Trends in 2025
Artificial Intelligence (AI): AI is being used to analyze vast amounts of data, providing valuable insights into market trends, property valuations, and investment opportunities. AI-powered chatbots are also enhancing customer service and streamlining communication. As the Proptech Collective report suggests, AI is poised to make the home buying and selling process more efficient.
Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR): VR and AR technologies are transforming the way people experience properties. Virtual tours and 3D models allow buyers to explore properties remotely, while AR can overlay information and enhance property viewings.

Blockchain Technology: Blockchain is being explored for its potential to streamline property transactions, increase transparency, and enhance security in real estate.
Internet of Things (IoT): Smart home devices and sensors are becoming increasingly integrated into properties, offering convenience, energy efficiency, and enhanced security.
Modular and Offsite Construction: As highlighted in the Proptech Collective report, this area is expected to see significant advancements in scalability, potentially addressing housing supply challenges.
