ChatGPT vs. Real Estate Brokers? Plus, Why Billionaires' Row Is in Trouble

About this episode

The episode discusses the impact of AI on real estate and the challenges facing Billionaires' Row.

Artificial intelligence is already reshaping real estate — from buyers using ChatGPT to challenge brokers, to AI startups transforming the office market. On this episode of Deconstruct, Hannah Kramer and Lilah Burke break down The Real Deal's latest reporting on AI's impact on residential and commercial real estate. They discuss how buyers and sellers are using AI during negotiations, why office landlords are chasing AI tenants, and whether artificial intelligence could fundamentally alter demand for office space. Plus: Hannah argues that the era of Billionaires' Row may be coming to an end as developers behind projects like 432 Park Avenue and 111 West 57th Street face financial and legal challenges. Also discussed: • Compass-Anywhere merger antitrust investigation • Bill Pulte's move in Washington • California political races and housing policy • Moody's warning on NYC rent freezes and multifamily defaults AI #RealEstate #ChatGPT #CommercialRealEstate #NYCRealEstate #BillionairesRow #Compass #OfficeMarket
