After IBS Season: What Developers Actually Want From Proptech in 2025

IBS season always creates a surge of shiny ideas—but once the noise settles, developers and sales teams tend to want the same fundamentals: clarity, speed, and confidence.

Here are five themes we see repeating across markets:

1) Less friction, more momentum
If a buyer needs instructions, the experience is already losing. The best tools feel natural—tap, explore, compare, decide.

2) Mobile-first isn’t optional
Buyers discover projects on phones, shortlist on phones, and share with partners on phones. A “desktop-first” experience quietly leaks conversions.

3) Confidence beats complexity
The goal isn’t to impress someone with features—it’s to help them understand the home and feel secure in the choice.

4) Story matters—especially when markets are cautious
When buyers hesitate, information alone won’t save you. Story + proof + clarity does.

5) Real teams need real workflows
Sales teams don’t want “another platform.” They want something that fits the rhythm of how they sell, present, and follow up.

This is exactly why we keep pushing 3DX™ forward: not as a gimmick, but as a practical way to turn browsing into decision-making—with experiences that work in the real world.
