The most valuable parcels of land command millions on the most significant marketplaces. How economically viable is metaverse real estate?
Are you wanting to purchase a property but are discouraged by the exorbitant prices? Are you concerned about the housing market’s bubble?
Consider an excellent piece of property that, at the time of this writing, is available for only $4,873: Zero HOA fees, No loud neighbors. And you may be eligible for a mortgage. The only catch is that “Parcel 148, -35” exists exclusively in the digital metaverse of Decentraland.
Metaverse real estate is rising, as it has been for the most of the crypto bull run, and will surpass $500 million by 2021. Nobody can predict where it will go next. In The Sandbox, $450,000 was spent on property adjacent to Snoop Dogg’s virtual “Snoopverse” Tokens.com has invested more than $2 million on the virtual property and established a metaverse real estate firm. Now, you may also obtain a metaverse mortgage.
Why do individuals purchase land in the metaverse?
Almost everything in crypto has a fragrance of the ludicrous. However, for those not paying close attention to the sector, the concept of “digital real estate” may appear especially absurd.
People believe that the price of metaverse land will increase. And so far, this has been a profitable wager for many. One of the causes is imposed scarcity. In the same way that the entire quantity of bitcoin (BTC) is restricted at 21 million, there are only 90,601 parcels in Decentraland. “If it becomes a destination where millions of people congregate, land values will continue to rise. Supply and demand” says Dan Reitzik, CEO of the thirty-person metaverse real estate firm Terrazero.
The extended response relates to virtual Miller Lite.
When you purchase virtual real estate, you can do things with it, unlike many cryptocurrencies. It can support game development. Employ advertising on it. Display your non-fungible tokens (NFT) with pride. Host a Kendrick Lamar virtual concert on it. Or perhaps rent it to those who require digital storage space. These hobbies might all provide passive income.
And this is when beer enters the picture. During the most recent Super Bowl halftime, Miller Lite created a virtual bar in Decentraland. The business of Dan Reitzik made this a reality, and “20,000 to 30,000 avatars visited throughout the day,” according to Reitzik, who adds that “the average amount of time that each individual interacted with Miller in the bar was 23 minutes, which is extraordinary in marketing.” As I’ve previously noted, businesses including Adidas, Clinique, and Fidelity are attempting to “join the metaverse.” Many believe the trend will persist. And when companies want to put up virtual storefronts to connect with customers, Reitzik argues, “they must own or rent land.”
You have restricted only your imagination and the technological constraints of the platform. If you are prepared to put in the time and effort, you can increase the value of virtual land, comparable to renovating a run-down home in the real world. “You can influence the future value of that asset [virtual land] by constructing on top of it, which is different from a regular crypto-token,” explains Janine Yorio, CEO of metaverse real estate firm Everyrealm.
According to Adam de Cata, head of partnerships at Decentraland, these advancements increase throughout the virtual world. “There are 5,000 lots in Vegas City,” explains de Cata, “and they’ve hosted the Australian Open.”
This may fascinate you. Perhaps you wish to invest. Maybe you cannot afford to purchase metaverse land, but you are eager to obtain a mortgage.
There are mortgages in the metaverse.
I instantly thought of my colleague David Morris’s 2018 piece “For the Love of All That Is Holy, Do Not Take Out a Crypto-Mortgage on Virtual Land” when I heard this. Terrazero, a firm founded by Dan Reitzik, was the first to provide a metaverse mortgage, resulting in a rush of popular headlines such as Curbed’s “Now you can acquire a mortgage in the metaverse.” The concept sounded risky. It is one thing to risk a modest portion of your investable assets on a high-reward hazardous wager. Buying virtual land with money you don’t have is unusual. Especially in light of the collapse of the Terra system, it is not difficult to foresee an interconnecting, highly leveraged system of metaverse mortgages bringing down the crypto economy in 2008-style.
Reitzik concedes that the provocative title of “Metaverse Mortgage” is “the reason we’re on Bloomberg all the time” but emphasizes that “when we introduced the metaverse mortgages, we didn’t do it to allow people to speculate.” According to him, the first mortgage was issued to a young entrepreneur who wished to acquire four parcels of land and had a detailed business plan for placing advertising boards that would create cash.
Reitzik states, “We examined it and determined that this business is viable.” “We lent him money for two years. This is not a mortgage.” Terrazero acquired the piece on the client’s behalf, held the NFT (land acquisition is essentially just an NFT), and then awarded the client development rights on the land. “He may construct his goal, earn money, and repay us. “Once he pays us back, he will own the land,” Reitzik adds. As soon as the mortgage information was made public, Terrazero received “thousands of requests.” Most were for speculative purposes. Reitzek disregarded each of these. As he states now, “We do not wish to recreate 2008 in the metaverse.”
Even excluding mortgages, metaverse real estate has hazards not present in the actual world. The primary threat is platform risk. The neighborhood may not appreciate Queens, New York, and the area may not understand as anticipated, but it will not disappear off the map. In the real world, if you are contemplating a real estate acquisition, you are at least confident that the property will exist in five or ten years.

Is metaverse real estate speculation crazy?
I beg de Cata of Decentraland this. De Cata responds that it is OK not to comprehend diverse societies. He agrees that it is not for everyone and that “even digital ownership seems so far from what the typical person [would] consider” However, according to de Cata, developing a decentralized metaverse is when a community works to produce user-owned material. If the metaverse is the future and we will all be spending more time there, shouldn’t the land be controlled by the users rather than by Big Tech?
According to de Cata, the metaverse is “similar to most other social networks users may use daily,” such as Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram. And if you believe the metaverse to be where social media was in 2007, it may not be so illogical to invest in Harvard-era Facebook.
