Today’s homebuyers don’t want to be “sold.” They are tech savvy people who do their homework to find the community that best meets their needs and personality.

So you’ve been hearing about 5G. You may be thinking that 5G is going to be a little faster, a little more reliable, and a little newer, but it’s actually more than that. It’s a massive innovation that’s going to change the way devices connect to the internet, and more importantly, to each other.

First of all, it’s fast. Unbelievably fast — 20 gigabits per second over wireless fast. That’s 100 to 250 times faster than 4G. By comparison, 4G provides average speeds of about…
