Smart Home Technology can make your home more memorable and stand out from the other homes for sale in your area. It's not just the Millennials and Gen Ys desiring a home with smart home technology but even Baby Boomers look for more convenience in their lives and they know how to use it!
Connecting devices to your smart phone can save energy, money, and time. There are four categories of smart devices:
Utilities - Thermostat, light bulbs, sprinkler, electrical outlet, ceiling fan, stove, washer and dryer, powered window shades, etc.
Safety - Wireless key entry, doorbell, garage door, outdoor lighting, etc.
Security - Burglar alarm, smoke alarm, carbon monoxide detector, or any sensor that triggers a call for emergency assistance.
Audio / Visual - Personal assistant such as Alexa or Siri, TVs, music, etc.
It doesn't cost an arm and a leg anymore to get Smart Home devices and most are plug and play, so no additional cost to installation. You can find a wide variety of compatible devices at the big box home improvement stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot. If you have already invested into the Alexa series from Amazon, they also have a plethora of devices at affordable prices.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy and inexpensive to get started. Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home memorable, without too much out of pocket.
