The purpose of this study is to empirically analyze user acceptance of real estate proptech services based on the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM). Specifically, this research sought to structurally examine the effects of proptech service attributes—comprising informativeness, functionality, supportability, and economic efficiency—on perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness, as well as the effects of perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness on acceptance.
As for the research methodology, an online survey was conducted over approximately three weeks from September 2 to September 23, 2025, targeting individuals with experience using proptech services. A total of 231 responses were utilized for the final analysis, and the collected data were analyzed using SPSS 27.0 and Amos 23.0. Notably, descriptive statistical analysis and correlation analysis were performed to examine the distribution and normality of key variables, and path analysis was conducted to verify the structural relationships of the research model.
The summary of research findings is as follows.
First, informativeness, functionality, supportability, and economic efficiency all exerted positive effects on perceived ease of use. This indicates that information quality, system performance, support infrastructure, and economic efficiency constitute primary factors in shaping convenient user experiences with proptech services.
Second, informativeness and economic efficiency demonstrated positive effects on perceived usefulness, whereas functionality and supportability did not exhibit significant effects.
Third, perceived ease of use exerted a positive effect on perceived usefulness.
Fourth, both perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness exerted positive effects on acceptance, with perceived ease of use demonstrating relatively greater influence.
The findings of this study suggest that strategies to enhance information quality and economic benefits while optimizing user experience are necessary to increase the acceptance of proptech services. Furthermore, the study makes an academic contribution by empirically identifying the structure of acceptance through the application of the Technology Acceptance Model (TAM) to the proptech domain, and can serve as foundational data for the design and operational strategy development of proptech services.
