1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:04,040
Speaker 1: KFI AM six forty. You're listening to Dean Sharp, The

2
00:00:04,080 --> 00:00:10,280
Speaker 1: House Whisper on demand on the iHeartRadio app. I am

3
00:00:10,320 --> 00:00:15,400
Speaker 1: Dean Sharp, the House Whisperer, where every week I guide

4
00:00:15,440 --> 00:00:19,400
Speaker 1: you to better understand that place where you live. Whether

5
00:00:19,560 --> 00:00:22,360
Speaker 1: home for you is a castle or a cottage, it

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:27,400
Speaker 1: matter to me. You know why, because luxury is lovely,

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:30,520
Speaker 1: But luxury does not a great homemake. It is design

8
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:33,519
Speaker 1: that matters most, and I invite you to think of

9
00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:37,160
Speaker 1: it just that way. Design makes all the difference. Every

10
00:00:37,200 --> 00:00:40,480
Speaker 1: house deserves it, every house should enjoy it because once

11
00:00:40,520 --> 00:00:44,280
Speaker 1: good design is at work in your home, that is

12
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:47,879
Speaker 1: when your house has a path forward toward becoming truly,

13
00:00:48,200 --> 00:00:52,279
Speaker 1: truly an extraordinary home. Today on the show, here we

14
00:00:52,360 --> 00:00:56,680
Speaker 1: are at the very very end of twenty twenty five.

15
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,040
Speaker 1: I don't know how you feel about twenty twenty five,

16
00:00:59,120 --> 00:01:01,440
Speaker 1: but man, this Sharp family, we have been through the

17
00:01:01,560 --> 00:01:04,040
Speaker 1: ringer this year on more than one front, I will

18
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:09,360
Speaker 1: tell you, and it has not been an easy year

19
00:01:09,920 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 1: for us off the air. On the air, things have

20
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:17,160
Speaker 1: been lovely. Time with you is something that I always

21
00:01:17,200 --> 00:01:21,440
Speaker 1: look forward to, but just a number of different things,

22
00:01:21,920 --> 00:01:24,440
Speaker 1: and that I'm not going to go into but I'll

23
00:01:24,440 --> 00:01:26,440
Speaker 1: tell you this, the end of the year could not

24
00:01:26,480 --> 00:01:30,320
Speaker 1: come soon enough. And turning the corner is something and

25
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,960
Speaker 1: started to happen here, and that's a good thing. And

26
00:01:33,240 --> 00:01:37,040
Speaker 1: we're very very much looking forward to what twenty twenty

27
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:41,400
Speaker 1: six brings in the hope that it brings a little

28
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,880
Speaker 1: more up and a little less trial along with it.

29
00:01:46,480 --> 00:01:49,480
Speaker 1: And so I'm here with you. We're closing out the

30
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,560
Speaker 1: year together. Here we are. It is the twenty eighth, right,

31
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:54,600
Speaker 1: Today's the twenty eighth Sunday, the twenty eighth. This is

32
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:59,400
Speaker 1: the final broadcast for US of twenty twenty five, and

33
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: of course I'll be right back here next week in

34
00:02:02,560 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 1: twenty twenty six as we move forward. But uh, for

35
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:11,079
Speaker 1: our final broadcast, as is become my custom, I am

36
00:02:11,160 --> 00:02:14,160
Speaker 1: going to spend some time talking to you today about

37
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: trends and predictions. If you are in any way interested

38
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:24,560
Speaker 1: in home renovation, home repair, home remodeling, which most of

39
00:02:24,600 --> 00:02:27,760
Speaker 1: you are, because that's why you're here with me, then

40
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:32,359
Speaker 1: you've probably got your you know, toe dipped into various

41
00:02:32,400 --> 00:02:37,559
Speaker 1: pools of media, whether it's social media or YouTube videos

42
00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:41,919
Speaker 1: or you know, HDTV or that kind of stuff, and

43
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 1: you're being baraged right now with the end of the

44
00:02:45,240 --> 00:02:50,480
Speaker 1: year trends coming in twenty twenty six stuff. And it

45
00:02:50,520 --> 00:02:53,239
Speaker 1: may at first blush seem like, well, Dean, you're doing

46
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:54,840
Speaker 1: the exact same thing, but I'm not.

47
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 2: I'm not.

48
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 1: If you know me, if you've been a fan of

49
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:00,120
Speaker 1: the show for any length of time, then you you

50
00:03:00,160 --> 00:03:04,400
Speaker 1: know that I'm not real big on the trendeeness of

51
00:03:05,240 --> 00:03:09,320
Speaker 1: interior design stuff and whatever is out there in the

52
00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:13,520
Speaker 1: home improvement world. And I'm really big on long term

53
00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:18,560
Speaker 1: movements and what it takes to instruct you and to

54
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:24,919
Speaker 1: help you with the principles, the unchanging principles of design

55
00:03:25,639 --> 00:03:28,960
Speaker 1: that get applied in different ways over the years, but

56
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:31,600
Speaker 1: get applied in your life and in your home in

57
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,000
Speaker 1: meaningful ways so that you can truly transform your home

58
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:41,880
Speaker 1: to a custom entity that magnifies and amplifies and assists

59
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:45,080
Speaker 1: you to live your best life. That's what a home

60
00:03:45,160 --> 00:03:47,360
Speaker 1: for me is all about. That's why I'm in the

61
00:03:47,880 --> 00:03:53,360
Speaker 1: custom home design business. That's why i do architectural design

62
00:03:53,520 --> 00:03:58,320
Speaker 1: and interior design and landscape design because I'm interested in

63
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:04,560
Speaker 1: people having that all important HQ for their lives to

64
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,920
Speaker 1: be the most that it can be and so on

65
00:04:08,160 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: we go. I want to talk to you though about

66
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:14,200
Speaker 1: how to discern between the trendiness of the trends and

67
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:16,240
Speaker 1: what's really sticking. And I want to talk to you

68
00:04:16,240 --> 00:04:21,159
Speaker 1: today meaningfully about things that actually are changing and shifting

69
00:04:21,279 --> 00:04:23,120
Speaker 1: and giving you a heads up. Now, if you're a

70
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,279
Speaker 1: longtime listener of the show, most of the things that

71
00:04:25,320 --> 00:04:27,800
Speaker 1: I'm going to discuss today will not come as a

72
00:04:27,839 --> 00:04:31,239
Speaker 1: surprise to you because you've heard me say them before.

73
00:04:31,920 --> 00:04:34,760
Speaker 1: And I'll tell you what I'm a little proud of

74
00:04:34,800 --> 00:04:39,000
Speaker 1: that that as we filter out all of the changing

75
00:04:39,080 --> 00:04:42,480
Speaker 1: trends and focus in on the things that matter most,

76
00:04:43,040 --> 00:04:47,320
Speaker 1: we come back continually to the principles that I discussed

77
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:49,839
Speaker 1: with you on a regular basis here. So I'm glad

92
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 1: sitting across the table from me, she just stepped out

93
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:39,760

96
00:05:46,240 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: person who I absolutely want love and need to go

97
00:05:53,240 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: through the trials and the adventures that we've gone through

98
00:05:56,240 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: this year with. She is the one, the one, the Tina,

99

00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 2: Her as well.

101
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: She's going to be popping in here in a few

102
00:06:05,600 --> 00:06:08,599
Speaker 1: minutes and she'll say hi when she gets back into

103
00:06:08,640 --> 00:06:13,640
Speaker 1: the studio. So that's where we're going today. I'll give

104
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:15,640
Speaker 1: you a little teaser before we go to break, and

105
00:06:15,640 --> 00:06:18,880
Speaker 1: then we'll come back and dive right into it. I

106
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:23,040
Speaker 1: want to start by taking a look at so called

107
00:06:23,200 --> 00:06:28,040
Speaker 1: trends versus what I call real movements, and what these

108
00:06:28,080 --> 00:06:29,960
Speaker 1: things are tied to, and maybe give you a little

109
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: behind the scenes how the sausage is made when it

110
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,840
Speaker 1: comes to designer trends and stuff and where these things

111
00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,280
Speaker 1: come from, so that you can once and for all

112
00:06:39,360 --> 00:06:41,520
Speaker 1: kind of see them for what they are and not

113
00:06:41,640 --> 00:06:44,080
Speaker 1: be bothered by them, not be bothered in the sense

114
00:06:44,120 --> 00:06:46,479
Speaker 1: that you're being made to feel guilty or bad that

115
00:06:46,600 --> 00:06:49,720
Speaker 1: somehow you just spent all this money on your home

116
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,120
Speaker 1: and now some influence are on social media is staring

117
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:57,839
Speaker 1: at you saying, oh, that's so yesterday, it's so out.

118
00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:01,880
Speaker 1: That kind of stuff is just ridiculous. But I want

119
00:07:01,920 --> 00:07:03,920
Speaker 1: to show you exactly where some of it comes from

120
00:07:03,960 --> 00:07:08,080
Speaker 1: and what you really should be looking toward when you're

121
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:10,400
Speaker 1: trying to figure out what to do next. Because there

122
00:07:10,400 --> 00:07:14,480
Speaker 1: are shifts and movements, but I prefer to refer to

123
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,440
Speaker 1: them as movements. So we'll take a look at the

124
00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:20,880
Speaker 1: so called trends versus real movements, and we'll do it

125
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: right after we take it with break.

126
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,360

Speaker 1: A meter like three feet up? Okay, all right? Do

159
00:09:15,160 --> 00:09:17,160
Speaker 1: you want to wish everybody a very happy new year?

160
00:09:17,559 --> 00:09:20,400
Speaker 2: Happy new Year? All right, Bud, thanks for joining me

161
00:09:20,480 --> 00:09:25,560
Speaker 2: in studio. You're the best. I love you. Okay.

162
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:33,480
Speaker 1: That was Olivia, my buddy, our granddaughter, who is lounging

163
00:09:33,559 --> 00:09:37,600
Speaker 1: and relaxing this morning. You just saw her in her pajamas,

164
00:09:37,800 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: in her Mickey Mouse t shirt, and now she's returning

165
00:09:41,679 --> 00:09:44,800
Speaker 1: to her room to watch videos, watch more videos.

166
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:48,439
Speaker 2: I'm sure. So, thanks Bud for being in here. Appreciate you.

167
00:09:50,480 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 2: All right.

168
00:09:51,120 --> 00:09:55,079
Speaker 1: I had to throw that in there. Why Cuz she's important.

169
00:09:55,160 --> 00:09:56,839
Speaker 1: That's why she's important.

170
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,520
Speaker 2: Uh.

171
00:09:58,720 --> 00:10:01,600
Speaker 1: All right, let's talk about what I was alluding to

172
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 1: in the first segment, these so called trends versus what

173
00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: I call real movements. So what is a so called trend?

174
00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,600
Speaker 1: According to Dean, Well, it is things like the color

175
00:10:15,640 --> 00:10:18,760
Speaker 1: of the year. Now, I have nothing against Pantone coming

176
00:10:18,800 --> 00:10:20,760
Speaker 1: out with the color of the year. Every year, every

177
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:23,120
Speaker 1: paint company comes out with their color of the year.

178
00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:27,120
Speaker 1: You know, it's fine, fine, you want to draw attention

179
00:10:27,200 --> 00:10:29,840
Speaker 1: to the coolness of a particular color. I don't have

180
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,400
Speaker 1: any trouble with that. But the issue that I have

181
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: is when trends for home design, everything from architecture to

182
00:10:39,120 --> 00:10:43,600
Speaker 1: decor gets treated like fashion, like like it's just a

183
00:10:43,640 --> 00:10:45,839
Speaker 1: blouse or a shirt that we bought that we can

184
00:10:45,960 --> 00:10:49,840
Speaker 1: toss away next year and buy another one of a

185
00:10:49,880 --> 00:10:53,600
Speaker 1: different style, as if you know that bathroom remodel you

186
00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,720
Speaker 1: just did, or the whole house remodel that you're planning

187
00:10:57,080 --> 00:10:59,040
Speaker 1: is just something that you know, you know, we do

188
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:00,720
Speaker 1: that this year. In a couple of years from now,

189
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:04,520
Speaker 1: we'll just change it all again. Nobody does that. That's ridiculous,

190
00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:09,040
Speaker 1: And so the whole idea of the year stuff I

191
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:12,920
Speaker 1: just kind of rejected out of hand. Now understand. I

192
00:11:13,000 --> 00:11:16,720
Speaker 1: keep track of it all. I wade through the swamp

193
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,199
Speaker 1: of it all because I am I am always interested

194
00:11:20,320 --> 00:11:24,280
Speaker 1: in what's new and what's evolving and what's changing and shifting.

195
00:11:24,679 --> 00:11:27,559
Speaker 1: But never in the world do I lay that at

196
00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:31,679
Speaker 1: our client's feet and say, here's the thing what you

197
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,440
Speaker 1: just did, or that thing that's so out. So so

198
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,199
Speaker 1: called trends like things like the color of the year

199
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: or the pattern of the year, or the color palette,

200
00:11:41,880 --> 00:11:44,480
Speaker 1: vibe of the year, whatever of the year. Thing is,

201
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:48,120
Speaker 1: they are fast, and they are frustratingly fickle.

202
00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:48,840
Speaker 2: Okay.

203
00:11:49,280 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: Real movements, real movements developed slowly. Now, evolution is real,

204
00:11:53,520 --> 00:11:58,400
Speaker 1: the changing of things is real. But evolution is also slow, okay,

205
00:11:58,679 --> 00:12:02,080
Speaker 1: and so it doesn't sweep by you at blinding speed.

206
00:12:02,840 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: So called trends are driven by this whole fashion idea.

207
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:08,400
Speaker 1: And here's the thing that you should really think about

208
00:12:08,440 --> 00:12:13,240
Speaker 1: that real movements are driven not by fashion but by architecture,

209
00:12:14,080 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: cultural shifts, and building science.

210
00:12:16,840 --> 00:12:18,400
Speaker 2: Okay, I'm going to say that again.

211
00:12:18,800 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: Real movements in the areas of your affecting your home

212
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:28,280
Speaker 1: are driven not by fashion, not by colors of the year,

213
00:12:28,559 --> 00:12:34,760
Speaker 1: but by architecture, cultural shifts, and building science. In other words,

214
00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,000
Speaker 1: the way that our lives are changing, on how we

215
00:12:37,080 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: live them that affects a home. The way that architects,

216
00:12:40,960 --> 00:12:47,040
Speaker 1: real architects actually conceive of and adjust and innovate, that

217
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 1: affects the way that we live in a home. And

218
00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:53,440
Speaker 1: of course the science of building, which is the ability

219
00:12:53,480 --> 00:12:56,559
Speaker 1: to do certain things based on if we can physically

220
00:12:56,600 --> 00:12:59,679
Speaker 1: do it in the physical world. And the other thing

221
00:12:59,720 --> 00:13:03,040
Speaker 1: that I have against so called trends, to name but

222
00:13:03,160 --> 00:13:06,920
Speaker 1: a few. Is that so called trends are self defeating.

223
00:13:07,400 --> 00:13:08,800
Speaker 1: Now what do I mean by that? I mean that

224
00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:14,200
Speaker 1: this is new trends are intended to break the mass

225
00:13:14,240 --> 00:13:17,560
Speaker 1: adoption of the last trend. Right, isn't that the idea?

226
00:13:17,960 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: This is the new trend?

227
00:13:19,320 --> 00:13:19,640
Speaker 2: All right?

228
00:13:19,720 --> 00:13:23,160
Speaker 1: We're getting rid of the old trend. So therefore, once

229
00:13:23,240 --> 00:13:27,760
Speaker 1: that new trend is accepted, once it's an accepted trend

230
00:13:27,880 --> 00:13:31,440
Speaker 1: and becomes a trend, it's destined to be replaced. So

231
00:13:31,640 --> 00:13:34,760
Speaker 1: why get on that roller coaster? I don't want you there?

232
00:13:34,840 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: All right, Well we come back. Let's talk a little

233
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:40,800
Speaker 1: bit about trends that are driven by corporate interests and

234
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:43,440
Speaker 1: how that affects you more than you think. Your Home

235
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,440
Speaker 1: with Dean Sharp the house Whisper.

236
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,360
Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

237
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:52,239
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty.

238
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:58,240
Speaker 1: Here to transform your ordinary house into an extraordinary home.

239
00:13:58,480 --> 00:14:03,000
Speaker 1: It is the final show of twenty twenty five. And

240
00:14:03,880 --> 00:14:06,920
Speaker 1: looking forward, we're talking about trends and predictions, not the

241
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:08,720
Speaker 1: kind that get everywhere else.

242
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:09,520
Speaker 2: Nope.

243
00:14:09,559 --> 00:14:12,920
Speaker 1: I have a very different perspective on those things. And

244
00:14:13,440 --> 00:14:17,840
Speaker 1: it's not because I'm done with change not at all.

245
00:14:18,360 --> 00:14:21,560
Speaker 1: Everybody knows me, knows that I'm an early adopter when

246
00:14:21,600 --> 00:14:25,040
Speaker 1: it comes to most changes and most shifts in the

247
00:14:25,160 --> 00:14:27,600
Speaker 1: building and architecture and design industry.

248
00:14:28,080 --> 00:14:31,960
Speaker 2: But I'm a realist. I work in the real world.

249
00:14:33,240 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: Of home design, and I know all too well that

250
00:14:38,320 --> 00:14:41,520
Speaker 1: the so called trends that get touted every year are

251
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:44,920
Speaker 1: just that they're just smoke and mirrors most of it,

252
00:14:45,240 --> 00:14:48,160
Speaker 1: and they don't have lasting quality to them. So we're

253
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:50,160
Speaker 1: talking about those, and I'm just trying to give you

254
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: some of my perspective, a little bit of industry perspective

255
00:14:54,720 --> 00:14:57,760
Speaker 1: without boring you, but to give you that insight. So

256
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: another thing about so called trends that I mentioned right

257
00:15:01,560 --> 00:15:04,080
Speaker 1: before we went to the break is that they are

258
00:15:04,960 --> 00:15:09,800
Speaker 1: so often driven by corporate interests. And why is that significant? Well,

259
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: it's significant to you because you don't want to be

260
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,840
Speaker 1: a rube. You don't want to be subject to that,

261
00:15:16,360 --> 00:15:20,680
Speaker 1: not if you're really trying to transform your home into

262
00:15:20,880 --> 00:15:23,680
Speaker 1: an extraordinary space. And I'm not saying that there isn't

263
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:28,560
Speaker 1: a place to buy things, you know, that are most

264
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:31,920
Speaker 1: affordable from a large corporate outlet, like a home depot

265
00:15:32,080 --> 00:15:34,320
Speaker 1: or something like that. But I do want you to

266
00:15:34,400 --> 00:15:39,120
Speaker 1: know this that corporate interests favor concepts that can be

267
00:15:39,200 --> 00:15:44,160
Speaker 1: reproduced in mass. You know, when Home Depot chooses to

268
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:49,080
Speaker 1: commit to a particular material to appear in every one

269
00:15:49,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 1: of their twenty three hundred stores, you better know that

270
00:15:55,040 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: they want a lot of people to feel the need

271
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:02,280
Speaker 1: to do the exact same thing. Okay, that's what I'm

272
00:16:02,320 --> 00:16:05,520
Speaker 1: talking about trends being driven by corporate It it happens

273
00:16:05,560 --> 00:16:06,560
Speaker 1: in media as well.

274
00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:09,720
Speaker 2: You remember house flipping, of course.

275
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: You do, because it's still the term that people throw

276
00:16:11,800 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: around house flipping. House flipping has been around since houses

277
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,400
Speaker 1: have been around, okay, on some level, but it really

278
00:16:21,840 --> 00:16:27,200
Speaker 1: became viral during the financial crisis of two thousand and eight,

279
00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:32,800
Speaker 1: when foreclosures were abundant, when people were losing their homes,

280
00:16:33,200 --> 00:16:36,000
Speaker 1: when banks were reclaim you know all of that mess

281
00:16:36,080 --> 00:16:38,800
Speaker 1: that happened in two thousand and eight house flipping. There

282
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:42,280
Speaker 1: were so many foreclosures on the market, so much inventory

283
00:16:42,520 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: at undervalued prices, that investors were grabbing every undervalued property

284
00:16:48,400 --> 00:16:51,440
Speaker 1: they could find. They were putting some money into cleaning

285
00:16:51,440 --> 00:16:56,560
Speaker 1: them up and selling them for substantial bucks. Right in

286
00:16:56,600 --> 00:17:00,360
Speaker 1: the real world, that wave, I tell you did not

287
00:17:00,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: last very long because very large corporate interests started buying

288
00:17:05,880 --> 00:17:08,919
Speaker 1: blocks of those homes instead of individuals showing up for

289
00:17:08,960 --> 00:17:13,520
Speaker 1: the local auction. Some I mean, I was present at

290
00:17:13,520 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 1: a couple I have We never got into the house

291
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,960
Speaker 1: flipping side of the thing, had no desire to, but

292
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: I was asked by multiple clients at the time, can

293
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 1: you assist us with this or that? Okay, So showed

294
00:17:25,119 --> 00:17:27,720
Speaker 1: up at a couple of those auctions at the you know,

295
00:17:27,800 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: at the local county you know civic center where foreclosures

296
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,359
Speaker 1: were all listed out and now they were going to

297
00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: be auctioned off, and the whole bunches of people from

298
00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:43,600
Speaker 1: the community showed up looking for their target home to

299
00:17:43,720 --> 00:17:46,679
Speaker 1: try and bid in an auction. That happened for a

300
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:50,000
Speaker 1: few weeks, and I think about maybe three months into

301
00:17:50,040 --> 00:17:54,720
Speaker 1: the financial crisis. What started happening was an individual would

302
00:17:54,760 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: show up in that crowd, an individual with a suitcase

303
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 1: full of cash, and that individual was representing a very

304
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 1: large corporate investment interest, and they would simply step up

305
00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:11,320
Speaker 1: and buy outbid everyone, and buy every house. And that

306
00:18:11,440 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: started to be the thing that started happening, and those

307
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,959
Speaker 1: auctions just went away because again corporate interests got involved,

308
00:18:16,960 --> 00:18:19,800
Speaker 1: but that wasn't my direct point. My direct point was

309
00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:24,560
Speaker 1: this house flipping started in eight as a viral thing

310
00:18:24,680 --> 00:18:29,000
Speaker 1: here in the US. It gained popularity during the financial crisis,

311
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:32,920
Speaker 1: right But in the real world it didn't last very

312
00:18:32,960 --> 00:18:37,080
Speaker 1: long because the inventory of those undervalued properties dried up

313
00:18:37,080 --> 00:18:42,040
Speaker 1: pretty quick. But today still it's a thing, even though

314
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: today flipping is notoriously difficult in today's housing market because

315
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:54,280
Speaker 1: houses are not primarily undervalued. You have to find the rare,

316
00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:59,520
Speaker 1: rare thing, weird circumstance that everybody else has missed, and

317
00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:02,600
Speaker 1: you've got to be very careful on your remodeling budget,

318
00:19:02,600 --> 00:19:04,800
Speaker 1: your flipping budget. I don't really call it a remodel

319
00:19:04,840 --> 00:19:07,040
Speaker 1: because it doesn't most of the time. It's not really

320
00:19:07,040 --> 00:19:10,080
Speaker 1: a remodel. It's more superficial. But the point is, why

321
00:19:10,160 --> 00:19:12,400
Speaker 1: is it still a thing? I'll tell you why it's

322
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:18,480
Speaker 1: still a thing. Corporate home improvement media latched onto flipping

323
00:19:18,800 --> 00:19:23,159
Speaker 1: as an easy formula to make hit TV shows. And

324
00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:26,040
Speaker 1: you know, flip in this and flip flip. How many

325
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:31,720
Speaker 1: shows are on the home improvement to networks that have

326
00:19:31,800 --> 00:19:34,679
Speaker 1: to do with flipping. That's not because flipping is a

327
00:19:34,720 --> 00:19:37,479
Speaker 1: big thing these days, or a realistic thing. But it's

328
00:19:37,600 --> 00:19:44,560
Speaker 1: because it's a corporate thing, and corporations embrace anything that

329
00:19:44,600 --> 00:19:49,760
Speaker 1: they can reproduce in mass, inexpensively, formulaically and get a

330
00:19:49,800 --> 00:19:53,439
Speaker 1: lot of people excited about. So home improvement media is

331
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:57,760
Speaker 1: what has stretched flipping into twenty twenty five and twenty

332
00:19:57,800 --> 00:20:00,560
Speaker 1: twenty six and will continue to do so for most

333
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,719
Speaker 1: people who kind of numbingly just sort of watched the stuff.

334
00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:08,199
Speaker 1: But the reality is it's just not there. Okay, But

335
00:20:08,240 --> 00:20:10,400
Speaker 1: that too is shifting because here's the thing, you want

336
00:20:10,400 --> 00:20:13,360
Speaker 1: a little look behind the curtain. Major home improvement networks,

337
00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:20,639
Speaker 1: especially like HGTV, are facing significant struggles plummeting viewership. I

338
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: was just checking on this this morning, especially among young adults,

339
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:28,439
Speaker 1: high production costs for renovation shows, increase competition from social media,

340
00:20:29,280 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: the economy, the challenging economy. HGTV has lost nearly half

341
00:20:35,640 --> 00:20:39,520
Speaker 1: its total audience over the last eight years, with sharp

342
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: drops in the crucial eighteen to forty nine demographic. Big

343
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,679
Speaker 1: drops there, Okay, so what's the network's response. They're bringing

344
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:53,919
Speaker 1: back old shows like Property Brothers and House Hunters and

345
00:20:54,000 --> 00:20:58,600
Speaker 1: things like that. Why because people got attached to the hosts,

346
00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: not because they're great design shows, not because you actually

347
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:04,520
Speaker 1: learn anything from these shows, but it got attached to

348
00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:07,480
Speaker 1: the host and they were kind of proven winners. And

349
00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:11,840
Speaker 1: there have been so many mass cancelations of shows across

350
00:21:12,040 --> 00:21:15,480
Speaker 1: the corporate networks. Right now, it's a tough time for media.

351
00:21:15,640 --> 00:21:20,080
Speaker 1: Media is in transition, lots of different transmissions transitions. So

352
00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:27,159
Speaker 1: even corporate media networks are exploring social media friendly formats

353
00:21:27,200 --> 00:21:32,600
Speaker 1: and lower cost content and influencers. Oh, I really have

354
00:21:32,720 --> 00:21:39,920
Speaker 1: trouble saying that word. Anyway. The point is this real change,

355
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: not trends, real movements. They don't follow these corporate trends.

356
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,679
Speaker 1: They don't follow fashion trends. They don't follow the things

357
00:21:49,720 --> 00:21:57,240
Speaker 1: that flutter by on a yearly basis. Real shifts follow

358
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,640
Speaker 1: the evolution of architecture, the evolution of building science, and

359
00:22:03,280 --> 00:22:07,640
Speaker 1: the change of cultural values and lifestyles. Now, those things

360
00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:11,000
Speaker 1: can happen fast at times, but they happen much much

361
00:22:11,040 --> 00:22:14,439
Speaker 1: slower than the Oh, you know what, the beij On

362
00:22:14,560 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: beige look, it's totally out now. Yeah, I don't really care.

363
00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:22,640
Speaker 1: If beij On beige is what works for you, then

364
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: guess what it's in. And we're going to do it

365
00:22:25,440 --> 00:22:29,679
Speaker 1: to the excellent standard that your life deserves. And if

366
00:22:29,680 --> 00:22:31,800
Speaker 1: it's not your thing, that's fine, but we're not going

367
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:34,560
Speaker 1: to adopt it and then throw it away. What we're

368
00:22:34,560 --> 00:22:38,800
Speaker 1: interested in in this long run is you and the

369
00:22:38,920 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: architecture that you live in, what it's capable of becoming,

370
00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:46,119
Speaker 1: and what you want it to become. So when we

371
00:22:46,200 --> 00:22:49,440
Speaker 1: continue right after the break, we're going to talk. I'm

372
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:54,200
Speaker 1: going to make it more real for you about actual movements,

373
00:22:54,840 --> 00:22:57,359
Speaker 1: real movements, and there have been some in the last

374
00:22:57,440 --> 00:23:02,239
Speaker 1: few years, some significant movements towards a new kind of

375
00:23:02,359 --> 00:23:07,000
Speaker 1: home architecture. And everybody who's planning a remodel or thinking

376
00:23:07,000 --> 00:23:09,320
Speaker 1: about making any changes in their home should at least

377
00:23:09,359 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: know what these things are so they can evaluate whether

378
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,800
Speaker 1: to adopt them. And you will not be disappointed if

379
00:23:14,800 --> 00:23:17,440
Speaker 1: you do, because they don't flitter by like trends. We'll

380
00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:19,680
Speaker 1: talk about that right after the break. You are Home

381
00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:22,000
Speaker 1: with Dean Sharp the House Whisper.

382
00:23:24,040 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 3: You're listening to Home with Dean Sharp on demand from

383
00:23:27,440 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 3: KFI AM six forty.

384
00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,800
Speaker 1: Here to tell you that every home deserves great design,

385
00:23:36,160 --> 00:23:39,639
Speaker 1: especially yours. Why because that's where you are, my friend,

386
00:23:39,720 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 1: that is your home base.

387
00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:43,360
Speaker 2: Your HQ of your life.

388
00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:49,720
Speaker 1: It deserves great design because a great home helps amplify

389
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:53,000
Speaker 1: the best parts of your life and push that life forward.

390
00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 2: And that's why I want that for you. And there

391
00:23:55,640 --> 00:23:55,919
Speaker 2: you go.

392
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:02,359
Speaker 1: Okay, we're talking about so and real movements that we

393
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:06,159
Speaker 1: can look towards twenty twenty six and see happening. And

394
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: I've kind of I don't want to spend too much

395
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:09,359
Speaker 1: time on the so called trends. I don't want to

396
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:13,000
Speaker 1: be overly critical about all. I've done enough of that now.

397
00:24:13,040 --> 00:24:15,240
Speaker 1: I want to turn for the rest of the show

398
00:24:15,280 --> 00:24:18,840
Speaker 1: to the positives of what's really happening out there, not

399
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:22,879
Speaker 1: the what's in fashion right at this moment, because it's well,

400
00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:25,159
Speaker 1: I'll talk about that in a second. Anyway, that's a

401
00:24:25,200 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: misnomer on so many levels, because everything is in right now.

402
00:24:29,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 1: Everything is in as long as it's done well and

403
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:34,919
Speaker 1: it's done according to who you are, and that's my

404
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:38,760
Speaker 1: bottom line period the end. So we're going to continue

405
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:40,479
Speaker 1: talking about that, but I want to turn the corner

406
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:42,800
Speaker 1: now before I get back to it, though, I want

407
00:24:42,840 --> 00:24:46,600
Speaker 1: to let you know, coming up after the next break,

00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:55,400
Speaker 1: so if you have a question about your home, whatever's

00:24:57,600 --> 00:25:00,960

Speaker 1: be going to the phones after the next break.

424
00:25:34,400 --> 00:25:34,720
Speaker 2: Okay.

425
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: So, setting aside the flippancy of come and go trends,

426
00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:50,280
Speaker 1: setting aside the way we are regularly shaped moved, one

427
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:54,840
Speaker 1: might dare say, manipulated by corporate interests when it comes

428
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:59,960
Speaker 1: to the home improvement market. Setting those things aside, let's

429
00:26:00,080 --> 00:26:04,080
Speaker 1: talk about things that are really changing. And they're changing slower,

430
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: but they are changing more substantially. And here it is,

431
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: We've had home architectural styles since the founding of this

432
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:20,440
Speaker 1: nation that evolved from early New England East Coast forms

433
00:26:20,520 --> 00:26:26,680
Speaker 1: like colonial Cape cod. It moved through more ornate eras

434
00:26:26,760 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: like Victorian, which was a very long era with very

435
00:26:30,280 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: many several facets to it, and then come along the

436
00:26:35,440 --> 00:26:39,600
Speaker 1: twentieth century it moved into functional styles like craftsman, ranch,

437
00:26:39,920 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: mid century Modern, and it has kind of all culminated.

438
00:26:43,840 --> 00:26:45,680
Speaker 1: And they really, by the way, has not been one

439
00:26:46,280 --> 00:26:52,119
Speaker 1: new major school of design in America since mid century Modern,

440
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:55,680
Speaker 1: unless you want to take what may be the next one,

441
00:26:55,920 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: which is just contemporary kind of Scandinavian can temporary design.

442
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:05,760
Speaker 1: But all of that has culminated in today's popular sort

443
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,480
Speaker 1: of well modern farmhouse would be an example of it.

444
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,000
Speaker 1: It is not a major school of design. It is

445
00:27:12,040 --> 00:27:19,920
Speaker 1: simply an example of taking a more classic, nostalgic architectural

446
00:27:19,960 --> 00:27:25,160
Speaker 1: style and merging it as a hybrid into contemporary twenty

447
00:27:25,160 --> 00:27:28,200
Speaker 1: first century life. Okay, merging it with some of the

448
00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:30,240
Speaker 1: the movements that I'm going to be describing to you,

449
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:32,480
Speaker 1: because that's where we're at today. So the point is,

450
00:27:33,840 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: when it comes to architecture, it doesn't matter what you like.

451
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,840
Speaker 1: Whatever you like, let's go for it. Colonial Cape cod

452
00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:48,840
Speaker 1: Victorian craftsman, ranch, Rancho, Spanish, Mediterranean, French, you name it.

453
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: Whatever your thing is, let's take that and let's find

454
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:59,000
Speaker 1: a way of expressing it with all of the best

455
00:27:59,119 --> 00:28:03,120
Speaker 1: parts of it's nostalgic qualities and all the best parts

456
00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:08,960
Speaker 1: of modern contemporary twenty first century building science and design

457
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:12,600
Speaker 1: and what we're learning and continue to learn about the

458
00:28:12,600 --> 00:28:16,480
Speaker 1: best way to live in a home. So modern farmhouse

459
00:28:16,560 --> 00:28:18,640
Speaker 1: is just an example of that. It's gotten very popular.

460
00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:20,080
Speaker 1: A lot of people are sick of it now. I

461
00:28:20,119 --> 00:28:22,160
Speaker 1: don't care. It doesn't matter. If that's your thing, then

462
00:28:22,160 --> 00:28:24,000
Speaker 1: that's your thing. We're going to make a great modern

463
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:26,840
Speaker 1: farmhouse for you. But modern farmhouse is a great example

464
00:28:27,560 --> 00:28:33,439
Speaker 1: because farmhouse style is nostalgic, modern is contemporary, and you

465
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: merge the two together and you get something. If you

466
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 1: do it well, that's great. So these styles, they blend.

467
00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: Revivals come along, they bring historical elements back into modern builds.

468
00:28:43,360 --> 00:28:47,920
Speaker 1: But overall, the current movement is not about a singular

469
00:28:48,000 --> 00:28:52,720
Speaker 1: new look, but a fundamental shift toward homes that are

470
00:28:53,040 --> 00:28:59,720
Speaker 1: hear me no, more efficient, more personalized, and more supportive

471
00:28:59,800 --> 00:29:03,400
Speaker 1: of physical and mental health. These are the movements that

472
00:29:03,440 --> 00:29:06,840
Speaker 1: are happening. I'm going to repeat it. The real movement

473
00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:10,160
Speaker 1: in home design that is happening, the real one, the

474
00:29:10,160 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: one that's not going to pass away, not going to

475
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:15,080
Speaker 1: be out at the end of twenty twenty six. It's

476
00:29:15,080 --> 00:29:18,000
Speaker 1: not going to be out ever. Homes that are more efficient,

477
00:29:19,240 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: more personalized, and more supportive of physical and mental health.

478
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:28,920
Speaker 1: There is not one singular news style emerging, but shifts

479
00:29:28,960 --> 00:29:35,080
Speaker 1: that are happening in all of them towards real, personalized, healthy,

480
00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: physically mentally healthy designs and more efficiency and will when

481
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:44,479
Speaker 1: we return to this topic, I'll start spelling out how

482
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:47,600
Speaker 1: some of those things practically work out in your home.

483
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: But when we come back, we've got calls on the board.
