Throwback Thursday: Real Estate Style






So I am sitting here enjoying my delicious microwave popcorn and it got me thinking about the microwaves of the past.  In the this industry we see a lot of "vintage" or "original" appliances.... Let me tell you the Microwave Oven, "Microwave" for short has come a long way.  No knobs to turn, no ginormous wall units, just a sleek, fast food delivering machine.   Here is some interesting facts on the device that changed our kitchens forever!

First Home Microwave was introduced in 1967 by Amana 



By 1975 the microwave out sold the traditional range!  By 1976 60% of all US homes had  this kitchen gadget.  


Today over 90% of homes have a microwave!

The first, truly accessible microwave for the home cost over $400 dollars!!!
