Technology and Housing

Technology impacting the housing industry
In todays modern world with new technology being created left and right it's changing the way the housing industry is viewed. Today we no longer need to explore or find inspiration to create a beautiful home. With apps such as Pinterest, Tumblr, Twitter, and Instagram it's easy to find creative designs and ways to update your house. Videos online can make home problems turn into simple DIY's. Even sites such as Zillow and RealtyNow can impact the way you buy a home by making it less complicated to view. The websites help you find what you're looking for in a home in a location that suits to your needs, the prices, and shows you the floorpan of the home. The ability to view real-estate without actually being there is incredible and one of the many reasons why technology has impacted the housing industry.
Technology in the future
Although the future is uncertain one things for sure which is technology is going to change and become more advanced. I think that one day people will have the chance to experience a home virtually. With this virtual experience they'll be able to view a home and be able to design it life size in 3D. This would give them a good idea of what their house would look like before it's already been built and designed.
