Building a Modern Real Estate Website Demo with Next.js, TypeScript & GSAP

Building a real estate website means much more than just showing houses. For example, in the Real Estate – Single Demo project, the following are some aspects to take into consideration:
In this blog post, I will guide you through the process based on the Real Estate – Single Demo project.

Project Overview

This is basically an example of how a single-page real estate website demo might look while being able to feature properties, scroll, and organize correctly, just as it would on an actual working real estate service.

"The primary objective was to create something that incorporates the feeling of:"

  1. Fast
  2. Visually premium
  3. Smooth in interaction
  4. Scalable in structure

Tech Stack

  • Next.js – App routing and performance optimization
  • TypeScript - Type safety and improved developer experience
  • Tailwind CSS: Utility styling for quick UI development
  • GSAP - Scroll animations
  • Lenis - Smooth Scrolling

Key Features

  • Real estate one-page design with a contemporary hero section GSAP ScrollTrigger Animation for sections and property cards “Lenis.”
  • Smooth scrolling for a fluid experience
  • Animations in pre-loader for better impression creation during page load
  • Fully responsive design, mobile-first - Scalable components with reusability capabilities

Why GSAP & Lenis?

  • In real estate website development, subtle motion plays a big role in perceived quality.
  • GSAP controls the animation without hurting performance.
  • Lenis gives natural, fluid scrolling without feeling heavy which creates a good UX.
  • Combined, they provide a sleek experience that is professional, not over-animated.

Designed Approach:
In developing this demo, I focused on:

  • A clear visual hierarchy can be created with Premium-feeling spacing and typography
  • Animations that complement, rather than compromise, the content. Performance-first approach
  • Real estate websites often serve business purposes, so clarity and usability always come first.

What This Demo Represents
This demo isn't just a UI experiment; it's actually how I would do things in real-world frontend projects:

  • Build with scalability in mind. Performance above all, UX too.
  • Keep code clean and maintainable.

Final Thoughts:
This Real Estate Single Demo is a small but concentrated project to demonstrate how modern frontend tools could be combined in the development of business-ready web experiences. If you're building in the real estate space, or any content-heavy platform for that matter, smooth interactions and performance make all the difference.
