The deployment of virtual cities in the Metaverse has unleashed great opportunities for businesses related to the real estate market in the Metaverse.
Like in real life, the prices of virtual parcels in the Metaverse are quoted based on their location. The reasons for buying are the same as in the traditional market: invest and wait to appreciate or build.
Businesses and Real Estate Market in the Metaverse
In the second case, the simplest thing is to build a house or room for our avatar to interact with the community and be part of the ecosystem. But we can also start a co-work-type business, build a hospital, set up a store, or countless other business options that exist in reality, as do the advertising companies that install billboards in the Metaverse and lease them to brands Or those who are dedicated to the organization of events. Then, of course, there are also casinos, law offices, art exhibitions, cryptocurrency exchanges, and fashion stores.
In the future, the real estate sector will probably implement the creation of traceability records or AML services to offer this type of asset in the traditional market with the certainty of not falling into illicit practices or money laundering.
The design of the plots can be personal, but a pre-programmed design can also be purchased in the platform’s marketplace. For example, Decentraland sells ready-made designs for use in virtual plots. Just as DIY superstores offer houses and other prefabricated objects, Decentraland offers parks, houses, meeting places, and everything you can imagine.
Products in NFT Format
Many firms offer products in NFT format, ready to dress up our avatars in the Metaverse. Even virtual pets, with their corresponding accessories. Within these marketplaces, own names, corporations, or famous brands that have been registered are also marketed to obtain a profit when said companies choose to deploy their services in the Metaverse.
