Struggles of Proptech Startups: Divvy Homes and EasyKnock Face Challenges

Many proptech startups, born and funded during the low-interest-rate heydays, are in the throes of struggle. With investments into U.S.-based real estate technology experiencing a significant downturn, companies like Divvy Homes and EasyKnock are feeling the pressure. Once seen as pioneers in the industry, these startups are now grappling with a rapidly changing market landscape.

The rise in interest rates has led to increased borrowing costs and a slowdown in housing demand, creating a challenging environment for proptech firms. Divvy Homes, which aimed to make homeownership more accessible through its rent-to-own model, is now facing difficulties in scaling its operations. Similarly, EasyKnock, which offers homeowners the ability to sell their homes while retaining the right to live in them, is also encountering headwinds as consumer sentiment shifts.

As the proptech sector navigates these turbulent waters, many investors are reevaluating their strategies. The future remains uncertain for these startups, highlighting the volatile nature of the real estate technology market.
