Artificial intelligence is no longer a distant concept in Jamaican real estate. It is already influencing how properties are described, promoted, analysed, and discussed — raising important questions about accuracy, responsibility, and accountability in a sector where trust matters deeply. On Wednesday morning at 8:00am, I joined a live discussion on Power 106 FM following the publication of a...
Property Technology
Support Jamaica Homes
Clear, independent information helps people make better decisions about buying property, living in Jamaica, and understanding the housing market. We value whatever you can spare, but a monthly contribution makes the biggest impact, helping us continue creating guides, insights, and resources for Jamaicans and the diaspora. Thank you.

Roofs were lost, communities disrupted, and for...
Dean Jones’ House-hunting in 2045 is not, despite first impressions, a piece of speculative futurism designed to dazzle readers with shiny technology.

It asks Jamaicans—especially policymakers, planners, professionals, and investors—to confront a simple question now, not in 2045: are we preparing young Jamaicans to inherit a...
The future of real estate in Jamaica is rapidly evolving, with emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence (AI), big data, and cybersecurity poised to play a transformative role. As the global real estate industry embraces digitalization, Jamaica’s real estate market is also gearing up for an era where technology and data will drive decision-making, enhance client experiences, and streamline...
