    Encore: 3D Printed Homes
    Mar 1 2017
    3D printed houses is a futurist and rather new idea. It is still very much under development and is in the trial and error stage at this point. However, it is well worth paying attention to. As the technology is developed, the printers manufactured and are ready to build themselves, we may be stunned at the speed in which 3D printing explodes onto the construction scene. The idea of 3D printing home is many fold. It is expected to be mostly automated and therefore require far less manual labour. More machine work tends to create more precise work as well, improving quality control. In addition, it is expected to be significantly faster, so guessing a full modern home being able to be built in days. (plus additional work required for plumbing, wiring, finishings etc) There should be a much wider range of materials that can be used as the base material for the home ranging from concrete, polymers, sandstone, mud and soil, wood, even salt. Be sure to listen in.

  • Encore: Drones in the Home of the Future

    Encore: Drones in the Home of the Future
    Feb 15 2017
    How fun are Drones!? Now that we're finally embarking on the future with the exponential growth of drones and drone technology, what can we expect from these little guys, in and around our homes, neighborhoods and cities? As we are very much on the precipice of the drone revolution, it’s difficult to really grasp the uses we can put them towards. Just like we could not guess the sheer number of apps and the many uses we put them towards on our mobile device when the iPhone first came out, similarly we can't yet get the full picture of how many ways we’ll use these newly opened up 3 dimensions now available to us. Today's show is going to be an exploration of where we know we are going with Drone technology, where we think and where we hope it will go, and how all it may affect your home and community of the future.

    The Blockchain in Real Estate

    The Blockchain is something everyone has heard about and understands it is used to host the digital currency Bitcoin. Other than that, most of us don’t really understand what it is, how it works, and what applications it can be used for in the future of real estate. In today’s episode, we will be chatting with Marina Reznik a partner with Ubitquity, a company utilizing the blockchain to securely record and track real estate title and transactions. We will chat with Marina Reznik about what the blockchain is and how it works, so that the rest of us can understand it. ;) We will discuss what Ubitquity is doing, why this process is being embarked on and what it is expected to accomplish in the real estate landscape. Be sure to listen in and understand what these changes in the real estate world look like, and what we can expect from our future real estate transactions due to this new platform of security and accessibility.

  • The Future of Tiny Homes

    The Future of Tiny Homes
    Jan 11 2017
    Tiny Living is a movement taking place in many developed countries. It involves people making a conscious choice to live in small homes. Some choose this out of necessity, as affordability of housing in many cities and towns is increasingly becoming impractical. Others choose it for long term financial reasons, not wanting to invest hundreds of thousands of dollars in their housing over their lives. We also have those drawn towards Tiny Living, due to the simplicity of it. Small homes equals small storage spaces, therefore less possessions.
