What is virtual real estate?

In the real world, you can invest in real estate such as land, houses and estates. Real estate offers a lucrative investment for people who have the necessary capital to buy the available assets. The development of the metaverse has changed everything: now you can buy a virtual plot of land online with a real deed. The only difference is that the property you buy is stored as pixels on the metaverse.

Virtual Real Estate can be simply described as: intangible digital assets made available for sale and investment on the blockchain. Digital assets consist of assets that are valuable online: that is, items that can be traded in the real world for cryptocurrency or fiat currency. Examples include domain names, high ranking websites and even documents.

In the world of virtual real estate, you can buy lots in the metaverse for the purpose of developing real estate, sell out properties for a profit, or even rent the lots for events in the metaverse. In today’s article, I’ll walk you through the inner workings of virtual real estate and how to invest in the virtual real estate industry. I will also cover important topics in virtual real estate such as its relationship to the Metaverse and its NFTs. That said, let’s move on to today’s business.

How virtual real estate works

Virtual real estate is very similar to physical real estate. However, if you want to invest in physical real estate assets, the process is longer and more time consuming. There is a long waiting period during which you have to get approvals, sign documents, inspect properties and make payments before you can access your property. Virtual real estate works by giving buyers faster and easier access to their assets by registering on the metaverse platforms and adding the assets to their cart.

In the virtual real estate world, you don’t need to apply for approvals or physically inspect properties. All you need is cryptocurrency tokens to buy digital assets on the blockchain and an active registration on the metaverse platforms. Platforms like Decentralland† The sandpit and Earth2 offer various digital assets for you to buy and make a good profit from it in the long run. Once you buy your assets, you will be given a deed with a unique code that guarantees ambiguity or fraud. In addition, you will be given multiple options and the opportunity to develop your wealth.

It may seem crazy for people to buy plots of land that don’t physically exist, but investors do so for good reason. Virtual real estate increases in value as more people buy the available assets. For example, a Decentraland plot of land that sold for $20 in 2017 is now well over $15,000. In addition, these digital assets can be developed in the metaverse and rented out to host events. The plots can also be used for advertising by organizations, generating money for investors.

Buying Virtual Real Estate

If you want to buy virtual real estate, you must: do research on the best platforms available to you and the type of digital assets you want to buy. For example, if you want to buy plots of land on Decentraland or De Zandbak, you need to install metamask as a Google Chrome extension. Metamask offers you a cryptocurrency wallet that you can fund with MANA if you want to buy a plot of land on Decentraland and SAND if you want to buy assets on The Sandbox.

You can fund your Metamask wallet by buying MANA or SAND from exchange platforms like Binance and kucoin† You can then transfer these tokens to your Metamask wallet and start the buying process. To buy LAND on Decentraland, you need to go to the Decentraland website and plug in your Metamask wallet. Tap the Country button in the top corner. You will then see a map-like area of ​​land on Decentraland and you can then click on a plot you like. Tap “Buy” and receive your selected parcel.

If you want to buy land on The Sandbox, go to the Sandbox website and click on “Market”. Then you can scroll in the left corner and select “NFT type” before clicking Country. The option to buy will appear and you can select offers from high to low. Plug in your Metamask wallet and bid on your bid, choosing a time frame of three to seven days. After a successful bidding process, your bid will be listed on open sea and you receive your digital asset.

Earth 2 offers a different buying experience. Designed as a second version of planet earth, the platform allows users to purchase digital assets such as lands and apartments with real money. Investors are reportedly throwing in thousands of dollars and buying tiles on Earth 2. To buy an asset on Earth 2, all you need to do is register on the platform. Then you can tap the green “Buy Land” button. You see a map like a landscape with different units called tiles: you can then select the tiles you want and hold the # button to indicate your interest to buy. After a successful bidding process, you can pay for your tiles. The good thing about buying tiles on Earth 2 is that they value it well so you can sell them for a good profit.

Virtual Real Estate and the Metaverse

Virtual Real Estate is closely linked to the Metaverse: the Metaverse offers a virtual reality platform where you can buy plots and create whatever you want on the plots. There are no restrictions with the Metaverse: everything from concert venues to virtual stores and art galleries can be created and developed. The virtual real estate and the Metaverse are so connected in the fact that the virtual real estate is built on the Metaverse. In addition, virtual real estate assets available on the Metaverse are also used to host events on the Metaverse.

Imagine going to a Billie Ellish concert at a specific location on the Metaverse. The property’s owners would rent it out for a fee to the show’s organizers, who would in turn generate money from ticket sales. All you need to do is tune in with your virtual reality headsets and enjoy the concert experience as if you were physically there. This is the dual benefit that the Metaverse offers, the ability to enjoy events without being present as well as the ability to create environments for these virtual events.

The metaverse has been described as a concept of a virtual world in which people can interact socially. The Metaverse is a network of 3D networks supported by virtual reality, machine learning and augmented reality. The adoption of the Metaverse by major technology-based organizations such as meta has made owning virtual real estate more lucrative. As more buyers and investors put their money into the virtual real estate world, the profits from investing increase. There is therefore an increase in the adoption of the Metaverse and virtual real estate. The laws of supply and demand are kicking in and digital assets on the Metaverse are being sold as non-replaceable tokens (NFTs) in various markets.
