The real estate market has to respond quickly to all global and local changes, such as the development of digital technologies, new legislation, the COVID-19 pandemic, and shrinking demand, and each major market player reacts accordingly. The government announces a new strategy in an effort to have information technologies introduced by its official agencies and the population and establish an electronic government system. Developers launch virtual sales and 3D tours, willing to attract new buyers from distant locations, cooperate with banks and provide assistance in obtaining digital signatures. Banks offer new services by consolidating online property search engines and mortgage issuance. SberBank’s DOMclick service is described in the article in detail. Evenconservative notaries have joined the process: now they can notarize online deals and register electronic purchase and sale contracts.Online deals have several steps: choosing and visiting the property, entering into a preliminary contract and making an advance payment, performing the due diligence, preparing for the deal, having a mortgage issued and the deal registered, and now each step can be made online.Changes have affected both sales contracts and rental agreements. A leading Internet company has chosen to rent properties only from those landlords, who register rental agreements on its platform in the capacity of partners and have digital signatures to sign their electronic contracts.New services have become possible thanks to the development of new digital and online technologies, new tools appear to meet the market needs. Although some risks arise at certain stages, online technologies have been successfully adopted by the real estate market.

The article concerns the issue of price bubbles on the markets, with particular emphasis on the specificity of the real estate market. Up till now, more than a decade after the subprime crisis, there is no accurate enough method to predict price movements, their culmination and, eventually, the burst of price and speculative bubbles on the markets. Hence, the main goal of the article is to present the possibility of early detection of price bubbles and their consequences from the point of view of the surveyed managers. The following research hypothesis was verified: price bubbles on the real estate market cannot be excluded, therefore constant monitoring and predictive analytics of this market are needed. In addition to standard research methods (desk research or statistical analysis), the authors conducted their own survey on a group of randomly selected managers from Portugal and Poland in the context of their attitude to crises and price bubbles. The obtained results allowed us to conclude that managers in both analysed countries are different relating the effects of price bubbles to the activities of their own companies but are similar (about 40% of respondents) expecting quick detection and deactivation of emerging bubbles by the government or by central bank. Nearly 40% of Polish and Portuguese managers claimed that the consequences of crises must include an increased responsibility of managers for their decisions, especially those leading to failures.
