Blockchain technology is a novel and disruptive innovation that has the potential to transform various industries, such as finance, supply chain, and healthcare. However, the application and impact of blockchain technology in real estate remain largely unexplored. This study aims to investigate the characteristics, development, and structure of the research field of blockchain in real estate using bibliometric analysis. The study analyzes 352 publications indexed by the Web of Science database from 2016 to 2022 using different methods and tools, such as descriptive statistics, network analysis, co-citation analysis, and co-word analysis. The results show that blockchain in real estate is an interdisciplinary and rapidly growing research area that covers various topics and applications. The study also identifies the most influential publications, authors, journals, and countries in this field, as well as the main research themes and gaps. The study discusses the implications and contributions of the bibliometric analysis of the blockchain in real estate research and practice and suggests directions for future research on this topic.
