"Location, location, location" is practically a mantra repeated by realtors and homeowners alike. This is because location is a major factor in determining the value of a home, but if location is practically infinite in the metaverse, then what determines the value of a virtual home?
Once a user purchases a home, the owner of the home receives an NFT that proves ownership.
