Hello, hello, hello peeps. >> Good evening. This is Diane and Randall Bro, your friendly realtor couple. >> That’s us >> here in Prescat, Arizona. Happy to chitchat with you about all kinds of all sorts of stuff. >> Yes. So, lately >> all over the place. >> Lately, we’ve sold a couple of new homes. (00:23) You most of the homes that we sell are resale homes, but uh we do a fair amount number of uh new construction homes as well. And uh you know when when they’re doing new construction that they that’s where you see the the most innovations. Yep. >> So there was one one innovation in particular we wanted to talk to you guys about because we thought it was just so cool. (00:43) >> Super cool. And we experienced it. >> Yeah. Absolutely. They call in the heat of the summer conditioned homes. >> Selfcondition. >> Selfconditioned homes I think it’s called. So basically what this means is you don’t have an attic that gets up to 200°. >> Mhm. the uh the home and the attic are integrated uh and the the roof is insulated so the the the uh the attic does not get that much warmer in the summer uh than the rest of the home and that is a game changer by not baking what’s up there in the attic. Everything (01:20) lasts longer. >> Right. They had a lot of foam and they set up the duct work differently and it’s all engineered completely differently than anything we’ve ever seen before. >> And I tell you, we were in that house, no AC, no windows were in there yet, and it was cool as can be. >> Yeah. Yeah. >> Um that’s how much it really deflects the heat. (01:42) >> So, some of these newer construction, they’re coming out, you guys. Very energy efficient homes. >> Oh, the energy efficiency stuff is just just knocks you out. It’s unbelievable what >> Yeah. So, some people are like, I don’t know if I want new construction. I have to say they got some good stuff coming out. (01:56) >> Some good stuff. You know, >> it’s uh pretty interesting um what they’re putting out there now in energy efficient homes. And so, yeah, you you know, it might be a little bit more to buy a new home, but >> the uh what it offers >> the latest and the greatest. >> Absolutely. The latest and greatest. So, we love this whole Yeah. (02:14) >> what do you call it? >> Selfconditioned home that home. I it’s probably new enough that they don’t have a term for it yet, but uh we recently invested in a whole house fan. I think we might have done an episode on the whole house. >> Yeah. >> So, the idea there is at the end of the day, you turn it on, you get rid of all the hot hot air that’s in your attic. (02:34) >> And uh >> which I should do that tonight, by the way. >> Yeah, we should do that. Yeah, >> cuz fall is in the air. >> Fall’s in the air. Yeah. Yeah. >> But uh this obviates the need for whole house fan. So, if you >> own a whole house fan company, you may be in trouble. But >> Yeah. Yeah, the >> we were excited and we got to experience it firsthand. (02:52) I’m like, “Wow, I do feel the difference in temperature.” So, anyway, just wanted to shout that out. Uh, that’s some new homes out in Granite Dell’s going in with that kind of new innovation. So, we like that. >> So, something to look out for. >> Yeah. So, if you’re building, think about that. Ask your builder. Say, “Hey, >> ask your builder about self-conditioned home. (03:10) ” >> I would like a self-conditioned home. >> Self-conditioned home. >> I would like to self-condition myself. >> That’s right. >> How do you do that? >> I don’t know. I don’t know either, but >> I’m still a whole house fan. I >> If I could, I would. >> Yeah, I would. My my personal Whole House fan. >> I want to personalize my self conditioning.
