Revolutionizing the Real Estate and Luxury Asset Segment with Blockchain Approach

Revolutionizing the Real Estate and Luxury Asset Segment with Blockchain Approach

Dubai, United Arab Emirates–(Newsfile Corp. – December 7, 2021) – KEYS aims to develop new blockchain solutions based on the trade of luxury assets in both the Metaverse and the actual world. Holding KEYS gives investors access to special investment opportunities, either in real estate or luxury assets, to name a few, as well as a strong network.

Figure 1: KEYS – Revolutionizing the Real Estate and Luxury Asset Segment with Blockchain Approach

To access the project’s unique ecosystem, investors must own the platform’s native token, KEYS. The Token, the team argues, can provide access and discounts when purchasing real estate and countless other luxury items.

All transactions on $KEYS Token are charged a 3{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} fee. The project will automatically burn 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of the entire supply quarterly over 20 years to maintain deflationary rates and increase the token price, thus benefiting the investors and holders of the $KEYS Token. The $KEYS Token has a 1,000,000,000 token supply.

$KEYS Token is a utility token that unlocks the KEYS ecosystem. This initiative aims to establish an engaged community around the KEYS blockchain ambition before developing the whole KEYS product ecosystem and token on Ethereum blockchain.

The KEYS blockchain ecosystem’s initial product is Meta Mansions NFT, 8,888 realistic 3D-rendered digital dynamic houses. Meta Mansions will increase the $KEYS Token’s use cases, value, and prestige.

Partnerships with significant NFT personalities such as celebrities, artists, sports, and real estate experts to increase value for Meta Mansion owners, are already in the pipeline. The Metaverse allows owners to monetize their Meta Mansions using virtual reality to create passive or active revenue.

The team has solid plans for building a cryptocurrency exchange where users may post, buy, and trade luxury items that uses KEYS as a utility token. Followed by a renting marketplace for Meta Mansions and other digital assets, as well as a direct FIAT-to-crypto exchange allowing credit card purchases. There will also be tiered KEYS advantages based on $KEYS Token ownership.

The KEYS ecosystem supports staking and farming. Investors may stake their keys for 88 days in the project’s KEYS Lockbox or offer liquidity with the project’s KEYS Farm to receive KEYS rewards.

The project has already signed up with a prominent firm, @hellomondaycom, for further developing its websites and platforms. The $KEYS Token is already live on Coinbase.com, Crypto.com, CoinMarketCap, and CoinGecko charting. LBank is their first exchange listing.

Now, achieving another milestone, $KEYS Token has been listed on LBank as of 23:00 on December 6, 2021, UTC+8. This will enable consumers to save transaction expenses and allow KEYS to explore Asian marketplaces.

Home-Decor Trends That Will Be Popular in 2022, According to Designers

Home-Decor Trends That Will Be Popular in 2022, According to Designers

Neutral furniture pieces will get a modern twist in 2022.

Alessandra Wood, the vice president of style for the interior designer Modsy, told Insider that people are turning toward alternatives to traditional neutrals in furniture.

“We’re seeing customers ditching white, cream, and ivory sofas and upholstered pieces for richer, earthy neutrals such as camel, taupe, cognac, rust, and sage,” she said.

She said these warmer colors can help people “create more cozy spaces that can really be lived in.”

Many people will be turning to color to warm up their homes in the new year.

“I have had so many requests for color in my clients’ proposals for 2022,” said Maggie Griffin, the founder and lead designer of Maggie Griffin Design.

She’s anticipating people will embrace “bright, happy, citrus colors like a pop of true green, cheerful yellow, or punchy orange” to brighten their rooms.

Caron Woolsey, the founder and principal designer of CW Interiors, is also anticipating people will embrace color.

“Colored glass and unusually shaped tiles, such as scalloped, pentagonal, and triangular, will be popular in 2022,” she said.

American antiques could find their way into many people’s homes in the coming year.

Wood expects antiques to replace modern furniture in the coming year.

“For the past few years, I’ve been saying that we’re seeing a revival of antiques,” she said. “In 2022, I think we’ll see early American antiques start to take center stage.”

She added that she thinks the Americana Met Gala theme will influence this trend as well, with people filling their homes with staples like dark woods and Old World-looking patina pieces.

People will also embrace textured furniture.

“Furniture pieces covered in textured, cozy fabrics that are super soft and aesthetically pleasing” are becoming popular, said Andi Morse, the founder and principal designer of Morse Design.

People are also turning to furniture made with performance fabrics, which are materials that are easy to clean and practical, Morse said.

Elevated home offices aren’t going away any time soon.

Home offices will still be a priority.

“Home offices will still be a priority in 2022 as many people are continuing to work from home — a trend that is here to stay,” Morse said.

Indeed, a Gallup poll found that as of April 2021, 72{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} of full-time workers in white-collar jobs are still working from home, making nice home offices a must.

“Making them beautiful yet functional is key,” Morse added of home offices.

People will start blending minimalism with other decor styles in their spaces in 2022.

Rather than sticking to a totally minimalist aesthetic, Wood said, people will mix the style with more dynamic elements.

“Strict minimalism is waning these days in favor of pieces that are minimal, yet rustic,” she said. “This style of furniture will continue to allow the space to be clutter-free without feeling like a space station.”

HOME & GARDEN: DIY terrariums make great holiday gifts | Home & Garden

HOME & GARDEN: DIY terrariums make great holiday gifts | Home & Garden

A century-old trend of bringing nature inside during the winter, terrarium gardening has had a revival gardeners as of late and would make an excellent gift for the holidays.

The invention of terrariums is attributed to English Botanist, Dr. Nathanial Ward. He used a closed bottle filled with tiny ferns and grasses growing in soil in order to observe a hummingbird moth chrysalis. Once the moth emerged, he continued to watch how the ferns and grasses continued to grow for four years, during which time he never opened the bottle to add water.

Although most gardeners today are building an open system, without a lid, requiring some water but not as much as a normal houseplant. These open system ecosystems provide for ample creativity by building a mini landscape but also require minimal care.

Any transparent container can be used as a terrarium. Glass and plastic are the two most common mediums. Besides bottles, commonly used items are fish bowls, fish tanks, jugs, jars, or light bulbs.

Terrarium Supplies: Open glass container, soilless media (not the stuff in the backyard, but the stuff you buy in a bag), 2-3 small succulent or tropical plants, ornamental knick-knacks or trinkets.

  1. Fill soil at least ¼ the depth of the container or as deep as the root balls of the plants you have chosen.
  2. Add either all succulents, or all tropical—do not mix and match as each have different light, temperature, and moisture needs! You might need skewers, pipe cleaners, and long-handled tweezers depending on the size of the container’s opening. When placing plants, don’t let the foliage touch the sides of the container and wipe any debris off plants with a clean paintbrush.  
  3. Water with a mister or add small amounts of water at a time with a spoon. In the beginning, the roots are small and the entire media does not need to be saturated.
  4. Add whimsy! Reflect your gift-recipients interests with fun or meaningful trinkets placed among the plants. Clean any figures, toys, glass, pebbles, or ceramic structures with an alcohol or 10{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} bleach solution and allow them to dry. Dried flowers or wood may also add to the story.

Apartment rent and occupancy hit record highs in November

Apartment rent growth and occupancy set new records in November, yet another sign that the nation’s housing market isn’t following seasonal patterns this year. Rent growth and occupancy usually cool heading into winter.

Apartment occupancy hit a new high of 97.5{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in November, according to RealPage, a real estate technology platform. The rate is up roughly 250 basis points from the long-term norm of about 95{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} going back over the past three decades.

The annual increase in asking rents for new move-in leases hit 13.9{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} in November. Renewal lease rent growth usually climbs more slowly than when there’s turnover in a unit’s occupant, but it has still been growing at 8{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} even during the later part of the year.

“The demand from renters is really strong, especially for the luxury product. As the economy has recovered we’ve done a better job in high- paying employment than we have in the lower paying jobs,” said Greg Willett, chief economist at RealPage.

This is usually the time of year that landlords see lower occupancy and therefore offer incentives or cut lease prices. Demand, however, continues to outstrip supply in the rental market, as it is also in the for-sale housing market.

“The rental market is actually stronger than the for-sale market right now. The rent increases are something like I’ve never seen before in my life, so we are definitely pulling forward a lot of household formation,” said John Burns, CEO of John Burns Real Estate Consulting.

November rent prices were up 0.6{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from October. While that is below the growth seen in the spring and summer months, it is notable because rent prices usually decrease in the fall months.

What’s driving demand

Rental demand is soaring due to the very high prices in the for-sale market, which are up nearly 20{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} year-over-year. Also, fewer people are choosing to live with roommates. In certain markets, owner-occupant homebuyers are being pushed out by usually all-cash investors.

“With this work-from-home and the stimulus and everything else – not enough WiFi, too noisy in the house – a lot of people are living on their own or they had two roommates and now they’ve got one, and that’s been the big reason for the surge in the apartment demand,” added Burns.

Household formation had been growing steadily before the pandemic, but then dropped off abruptly when Covid-19 hit the U.S., according to Census figures. Within a few months it began to climb again and has been accelerating in the last six months.

High prices in the for-sale housing market are also presenting an opportunity for older homeowners who might want to cash out at the top of the market. They, in turn, are moving into luxury rentals, taking up more supply and keeping rents inflated.

Regionally, rent growth is now strongest in West Palm Beach, Tampa and Phoenix, with annual gains of 26{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} to 28{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}. Austin, Orlando, Fort Lauderdale, Las Vegas, Jacksonville, Atlanta, Salt Lake City, Raleigh/Durham and Miami also saw rent growth above 20{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9}.

Rent growth is now weakest in the Midwest. Out of the nation’s 50 largest metropolitan markets, Minneapolis saw the smallest rent increase of just over 4{d4d1dfc03659490934346f23c59135b993ced5bc8cc26281e129c43fe68630c9} from a year ago.
