The Best Payment Alternative For Real Estate Sector

It has become more common for interested parties to make purchases in real estate using Bitcoin in recent years. Barbara Corcoran who is a real estate mogul and who also features in the Shark Tank has been quoted as saying that Crypto has created the perfect way to purchase real estate as they not only cut out the middlemen but also lower the prices of real estate making them more affordable.

In a past interview, Barbara Corcoran stated that she was optimistic about Crypto in the long term as it was a perfect mode of payment for the real estate sector.

Niederhoffer has not been the first hedge funder to put up his real estate in the market with a preference of Crypto as a mode of payment. A few months ago Claudio Guazzoni de Zanett, who is a hedge fund manager, put up his Manhattan townhouse for sale for US$30 million in cash or US$45 million for those willing to pay in Crypto. Zannett stated that the extra US$15 million was a cushion for any volatility in the market. he was not only accepting Bitcoin but also Ethereum and Ripple as well.

Crypto Based Real Estate Firm

The trend of selling real estate has not only been seen in the United States but also in other parts of the world with an example being the listing in Malta of a palatial house for US$3 million earlier last month. The seller of the palatial house strictly preferred for payment to be made in Bitcoin.

The house was listed by CryptoHomes.io which is a startup that is aimed at selling its listed properties for Crypto. The firm has stated that its aim is to show that Crypto can also be used in the purchase of tangible assets and are not only useful as speculative assets.
