THE NEW NORMAL

Smaller Universe of Buyers– 75% Fewer Housing Starts– Tighter Credit = Less Qualified Buyers– Less Compelling Reasons to Buy

You Can’t Compete on Price– Massive Inventory of Fire-Sale Homes– Massive Inventory of Homes Under Water

High-Performance Train Has Left the Station– Energy Codes on Hyper Drive– Net-Zero Home Programs

A New Technology Change Everything– Hint, it Has Nothing to Do with Housing

The best thermal imager for the money.
