Integrators have a good reason to be optimistic: home construction permits leap 17.3% and sales of existing homes jump 20.3% in June.

According to the National Association of Home Builders, after seeing a jump in new home interest throughout July, there could be reason to expect a larger boom in the coming months.

Taking advantage of its integrator perspective, Canadian firm HomeSync started Clara Shades to seize more opportunities with builders, developers and first-time homebuyers.

According to survey by LightStream, despite the financial and economical hardships the coronavirus has caused, homeowners are still enthusiastic about improving their living spaces.

Through initiatives such as its partnership with Delos and Mayo Clinic, KB Home is providing its customers with state-of-the-art options for this emerging trend.

Dan Bridleman, senior vice president at KB Home, says categories like wellness and smart appliances are becoming very popular among homebuyers.
