📉 The Limits of Traditional Valuation

Traditional property assessments often rely on manual processes, past sales data, and rigid valuation models. While that may work for standardized buildings in stable markets, it fails in today’s urban reality: dense regulation, evolving zoning, and complex land-use potential.



🤖 The Shift Toward AI-Powered Analysis

PROPCORN AI doesn’t just automate valuation — it redefines it. Our system reads building plans, interprets legal constraints, and evaluates land potential based on current regulations and development patterns. It’s not just about "what is" — it’s about "what could be."

We call this approach: KI-gestützte Grundstücksanalyse — AI-powered property assessment.
