What could go wrong with 3D printing houses? 7 funny (and relatable) possibilities…

I’ve put together a nice assortment of bite-sized pieces of real estate news, entertainment, and resources I think you’re going to enjoy. (And maybe even learn a thing or two you never knew you wanted to know!)

But first, let’s start it off with my…

It’s amazing how a home inspector can make a house someone has lived in quite comfortably for years sound too dangerous for a buyer to even walk past… let alone trick-or-treat at! 😱

To be fair, sometimes you don’t even know there’s a problem with your house until a home inspector points it out. Or perhaps a neighbor…

A Florida man was apparently so fed up with his neighbor’s malfunctioning security light that he decided to take matters into his own hands.

At 3 a.m., he allegedly grabbed a ladder, walked onto his neighbor’s property wearing nothing but a headlamp, a watch, and flip-flops, and removed the offending light and Ring camera, causing about $800 in damage.

The footage from the security system he was trying to fix led to his arrest.

At least the neighbor won’t have to worry about a malfunctioning security light showing up on a home inspection report when they sell. Although the damaged wiring might be another story.

It’s not unusual for a buyer to get a little nervous after receiving a home inspection report. But sometimes the issues they point to aren’t necessarily what’s really bothering them.

Financial worries, cold feet, or second thoughts about the purchase itself can all come to the surface after an inspection.

I recently published an article about why a buyer who suddenly wants out of a deal may have concerns that go beyond the home inspection, and why figuring out what’s actually bothering them can be more useful than agreeing to fix everything on the list.

What percentage of homeowners admit to not disclosing property defects when selling their house?

Imagine a future where your dream home isn’t built brick by brick but printed layer by layer. You don’t have to look too far into the future, because 3D-printed houses are already here!

But before we start cranking out houses like oversized LEGO sets, let’s ask an important question… Will concrete printers come with the same frustrations as regular printers?

Anyone who’s wrestled with a paper jam or begged a printer to stop demanding magenta for a black-and-white document knows that printers have a mind of their own!

So let’s have a little fun with it…

Here’s a tongue-in-cheek look at 7 things that could go wrong with 3D-printing a house.

Now this is the kind of shocking discovery I’d love to see in a home inspection report someday!

Be on the lookout for the next one!
