The built-in home technologies segment of the CE industry continues to face challenges due to the economy and struggling real estate market. But once housing starts improve, overall revenues for home technologies are expected to increase. Given the strong relationship between the real estate market and these key technologies, it’s important to understand Realtors’ experiences and perceptions of home technologies.

Additionally, this study focuses in on MRA/MRAV systems to understand:
