Innovation for Homeowners

The Evolving Capabilities of a Modern Home

December 21, 2024

Hi Reader,

Creative Ways to Monetize Your Home is the topic of this week’s newsletter.

We have often made our readers aware of the stark differences between innovative modern homes of today compared to traditional homes owned by our parents’ and grandparents’ generations.

Generational dissimilarities are largely due to the amazing technological advances we continue to experience, as well as "how" modern homes are being used. The capabilities of an innovative home can be drastically different than the narrow roles typically served by homes from previous decades.

As staunch advocates of innovative homeownership, the purpose of a modern home can be much more than providing a secure and comfortable dwelling, or adding to one’s financial nest egg — albeit two vital aspects of homeownership.

Present day homeownership means that a well-designed and managed property can serve as a multidimensional, flexible asset that can evolve over time to serve the changing needs of its residents through all stages of life.

Homeowners across the United States have been increasingly turning to creative methods to monetize their properties by two prominent drivers:

1. Economic Necessity

2. The Rise of the Sharing Economy, fueled by innovative technology platforms and apps

However — as you will see from this week’s collection of articles — homeowners are also looking to monetize their homes, as means to creating flexible and fulfilling lifestyles for many years to come.

NOTE: The Purgula team will be enjoying the Christmas & New Year's Holidays with family and friends, so our next newsletter will not be published until January 11th.

Mamey Sapote - 6lb Box
Sleepy Lizard Avocado Farm

Pre-Order Today to Receive This Exotic Fruit in February 2025!

Sleepy Lizard is now taking preorders for their Mamey Sapote! The first picking will be during the month of February.

Mamey Sapote is a rare and exotic fruit, grown in South Florida. Its bright red flesh is typically spooned directly from the husk, like pudding, or blended to make a delicious smoothie or milkshake. You can also freeze it to be eaten later like ice cream!

While abundant in South Florida markets, it's almost non-existent in the rest of the country. Sleepy Lizard is very happy to give you a chance to taste this scrumptious tropical fruit!

"We've been getting nothing but positive feedback from our first-time mamey eaters!"
