[Solving the 'Low Profit Margin' Problem in Real Estate Purchase and Resale] AI Sourcing Support Tool 'Drago' Releases 'Detailed Cost Calculation' Function Covering Renovation Costs and Borrowing Interest Rates

Mansion Research Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo) has released a new function, 'Detailed Cost Calculation,' for its sourcing support tool for purchase and resale businesses, 'Drago ~Sourcing Master~'.

Amidst recent rises in material costs and interest rates, accurately grasping costs in advance has become a lifeline that dictates the success of purchase and resale businesses.

With the addition of this function, complex cost calculations, which previously relied on the experience of personnel or spreadsheets, are now automated.

It precisely calculates everything from sourcing to renovation, maintenance, sales, and borrowing costs in as little as 5 minutes, instantly deriving an 'appropriate sourcing target' by reverse calculation from the target profit.

Key Points of This Release

Complete Visualization of 'Invisible Costs': Covers registration fees, real estate acquisition tax, demolition costs, management fees and reserve funds during ownership, and borrowing interest.

Decision Making in 5 Minutes: Significantly shortens the process from preliminary investigation to profit and loss simulation, which traditionally took 30 minutes to 1 hour.

Transition to Data-Driven Management: Reduces variations in calculation accuracy among individual staff members and unifies sourcing judgment standards across the entire company.

Development Background

Currently, in the used condominium market, in addition to persistently high property prices, soaring renovation costs and interest rate fluctuation risks are squeezing the profits of businesses. To win in the fast-paced sourcing competition, it's crucial to instantly calculate not only 'how much it can be sold for' but also 'how much will ultimately remain in hand.' Drago has evolved to achieve both 'accuracy of judgment' and 'speed.'

Overview of the New 'Detailed Cost Calculation' Function

With this update, specific costs for each project can be meticulously entered and automatically calculated, instantly reflecting them in the overall purchase cost.

Visualization of Basic Information

Basic information, including property price, is correctly displayed in a list.

Automatic Calculation of Sourcing and Sales Costs

Automatically calculates sourcing costs such as 'registration fees' and 'real estate acquisition tax' incurred at the time of purchase, as well as sales costs such as 'brokerage fees' and 'stamp duty' incurred at the time of sale.

Flexible Simulation of Processing Costs

Processing costs essential for property value enhancement, such as 'renovation costs' and 'demolition costs,' can be optionally entered and calculated.

Calculation of Maintenance and Borrowing Costs Based on Holding Period

Maintenance costs such as 'property tax' and 'management fees' are automatically calculated based on the assumed holding period. Furthermore, 'borrowing costs (interest)' for fundraising are also correctly calculated using annual interest rate calculations.

Automatic Reflection in Purchase Price

Automatic reflection of various costs provides a more 'realistic' sourcing perspective. Detailed costs such as entered expenses and renovation costs are immediately aggregated and reflected in the overall purchase price. Since realistic costs reflecting the actual situation on site are incorporated, the clarity of 'how much should be purchased for (sourcing target) to ensure profit' is significantly enhanced.

What is 'Drago ~Sourcing Master~'?

This service automatically aggregates necessary information for judgment, such as market prices, past cases, profitability, and risk factors, providing a one-stop sourcing support tool for purchase and resale businesses. While 'Robo Assessment,' a valuation report creation tool for sales brokerage businesses, proposes sale prices based on market rates, 'Drago ~Sourcing Master~' is designed to enable judgments that look ahead to 'how much it can be sold for' with profit as a premise.

Going forward, we plan to sequentially add practical functions such as calculations based on income capitalization and cost approach valuations, reports utilizing rental data, and support for entire income-generating properties.
