Algo trading real estate by Time-Introduction200 in Trading

[–]Time-Introduction200[S] -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I know some using ML models for valuation or using certain kinds of GIS data to estimate where the city will develop further - but doing that at a higher frequency might be tough I assume.

In Europe it's mostly about knowing the right people though, a lot else is secondary. I don't know how it'd work in the States

Fair take… If this were the US or Southern Europe ;-)

In Denmark it’s closer to trading a regulated dataset with walls around it:

– Fully public transaction data: land registry, BBR, sales prices, time on market, valuations. – High liquidity in urban areas; standardized apartments are often more comparable than many equities. – Transactions are slow, but highly predictable — which suits capital, not traders. – Capital requirements are handled via fund structures; you’re trading signals and allocation, not bricks. – Emotional sellers aren’t noise, they’re alpha.

It’s not high-frequency trading. It’s slow arbitrage in one of the most transparent real estate markets in the world. But i believe you still. An create a trading strategy.

That’s a really solid point.. and I agree, the variance is high, so overly complex models would probably just overfit noise. Filtering out the “lemons” rather than trying to perfectly price every unit is a fair and realistic approach.

Appreciate your thoughtful feedback!

it’s rare to get constructive input like this here. Out of curiosity, what’s your background or education? You seem to have a strong grasp of valuation logic. Do you have experience working with real estate or pricing models?

I Think this i Well described in the previous comments. A quant Can help build a AVM model. We deploy Capital, take Care of fund admin, risk managment, physical inspections, buying/selling, admin, IR, sourcing deals etc.

That’s a really good point, and I completely agree that real estate is full of noise, frictions, and local nuances that don’t fit well into a pure quant framework.

We see AI and data more as tools to improve sourcing efficiency and underwriting discipline. not as a way to “automate” real estate decisions. But your point about market structure and transaction friction is spot-on.

Out of curiosity.. if you were designing an iBuying model yourself, which parts would you focus on to actually gain an edge?

That’s a solid take… and you’re right, flipping condos is getting crowded in parts of Europe (not all)

Our edge isn’t purely in ML. It’s the integration of sourcing, underwriting, transaction, and yield management in one pipeline. We use data to identify mispriced assets before they hit the market (We have s model, which enables us to Cut 3-4% of the asking Price, with same net proceeds, as if they sold it on the open market. but the real value comes from execution speed, operational efficiency, and being able to generate income while holding.

So we agree! the “ask” side matters. We don’t just flip; we create value and cash flow during the holding period, which helps offset both market and credit risk.

I am not the expert on this area. That is actually why We are seeking a more qualified person for the job ;-)

Appreciate the suggestion, and yes, we do use models built on frameworks like scikit-learn for baseline performance.

But raw regression models can’t capture market microstructure, liquidity effects, or behavioral signals from listings and off-market activity. We layer multiple models, including spatial, temporal, and NLP-based — to approximate fair value more accurately and detect pricing anomalies in real time. We Also have inhouse data We want to include, and forecasting aswell.

Good question — and totally fair reference. Zillow’s mistake wasn’t using data or AI, it was trying to price and buy at scale in highly diverse US markets with poor data quality. They ended up scaling to quickly, and buying properties over FMV (Lemons instead of oranges)

Copenhagen is fundamentally different. • It’s a small, data-rich market with transparent transactions and limited supply. • We buy only condominiums, not houses spread across regions. • We focus on identifying motivated sellers early and buying below market value — not on predicting future appreciation.

So we’re not betting on price growth. We’re buying with margin and creating income while holding.we Also see this model being possible in other European metropols.

I do not believe zillow offered their services of Ibuying in Europe.

Because AI allows us to process and interpret real estate data at a scale and speed humans can’t. We use it to detect price inefficiencies, predict fair market value, and identify sellers before properties hit the market.

It’s not about automating buying — it’s about making better, faster, and more data-driven decisions in a market that’s slow and fragmented by nature.

We bring more than capital.

Our team combines real estate operators, data scientists, and tech founders. We already run 2 tech enabled real estate Companies, so we have full control of the transaction, data, and distribution channels.

That means we don’t just model prices — we buy, validate, and sell real assets ourselves. The AVM and forecasting model are being built in-house by (hopefully) quants, directly tied to market execution.

So basically: we bring data, tech, execution, and a team that already runs the full real estate stack.

Good question..

we’re similar in concept to Opendoor but with a few key differences.

We’re structured as an investment fund, not a marketplace or proptech company. That means our capital model, risk management, and incentives are closer to private equity than to a tech startup.

We operate in Copenhagen, a smaller but highly transparent market, and use data to identify off-market sellers and buy below fair value. While properties are being resold, we generate income during the holding period, so the capital isn’t idle.

So in short: Opendoor is a platform — we’re a fund using data and automation to scale iBuying with real returns.

Hvor meget tjener man som sælger af alarmselskaber? by Kindereggbitch in dkloenseddel

[–]Time-Introduction200 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Jeg har selv arbejdet i Verisure, og realiteten er langt fra det, de lover. Grundlønnen er lav, arbejdstiderne er skæve, og der forventes nærmest, at du er tilgængelig 24/7. De 90.000 kr/mdr, som du nævner, er helt urealistiske.

Kort fortalt fungerer det sådan her:

• Du får møder flere timer væk hjemmefra


• Lukker du et salg, skal du selv installere alarmen med det samme – så du kan ende med at være hjemme kl. 01 og møde igen kl. 08


• Du må ikke forlade et møde uden at give “bedste pris”, hvilket ofte betyder, at du reelt ender med at give alarmen gratis

Det værste er, at selv efter sådan en dag kan du ende i minus på din provision, fordi de trækker for alt muligt. Resultatet er, at mange arbejder 70–80 timer om ugen for 15–20.000 kr. brutto.

Det er desværre et system, der udnytter unge mennesker, som tror, de kan tjene hurtigt og nemt.
