Construction Company AI Buzz Soars Over 80%; BIG DATA Report Reveals "Three New Mindsets Every Builder Must Know"
As the housing market continues to cool down, how can construction companies break through and flip public decision-making on home purchases? Data technology leader BIG DATA Co., Ltd. today (July 30th) released its latest Insight Report, "The Cold Homebuying Market and Heating Buzz: Three New Mindsets Every Construction Company Should Know." Through its public opinion analysis software, KEYPO, the report observed the period from January 1, 2022, to May 31, 2025, finding that despite the competitive pressure of a "massive supply surge," key consumer buzz volume continues to grow. While "rent vs. buy" buzz soared 89.3% over three years, it reversed in 2025 to favor "buying is more cost-effective," reflecting a rapid shift in consumer perception. Furthermore, the buzz surrounding "home purchase includes furnishings/appliances" has seen over 50% growth for two consecutive years. Large construction companies are also capitalizing on the AI wave by integrating technology from construction to showroom viewing to highlight brand technical strength—all visible highlights of the latest trends. BIG DATA Co., Ltd. indicates that the consumer home-buying journey is shifting from "comparing price and location" to pursuing a complete feeling of "high trust, genuine experience, and shareability." In 2025, Threads for the first time surpassed Facebook to become the hottest social media platform for construction company evaluations. Discussions on technological applications like AI showroom viewing and architectural records are also consistently heating up. Housing market competition has evolved from a "price war" to a "trust war" and "experience war." Only by leveraging data insight to address demand and crafting a home-buying experience that is genuinely felt and enjoyable to share on social media can a real estate brand achieve a critical breakthrough.
