Home Economics: Real Estate Exchanges and the Future of Homebuying

Join us as Richard Epstein and Michael Toth discuss how digital innovation is changing the way U.S. consumers buy and sell homes. Amid a V shaped recovery in housing, that has led to a surge in mobility and home prices across the U.S., Epstein and Toth will review emerging real estate marketplaces and how these platforms compare with other efforts to disrupt traditional industries through exchanges. Epstein is the Laurence A. Tisch Professor of Law, at New York University, the Peter and Kirstin Senior Fellow at the Hoover Institution , and the James Parker Hall Distinguished Service Professor Emeritus and Senior Lecturer, the University of Chicago. Toth is SVP of REX, an Austin-based real estate technology company delivering a full-service online platform for residential real estate buyers and sellers.
