Smart Home Technology can help you sell your home faster by being memorable and current. It's not just millennials and Gen Ys desiring a home with technology that keeps them secure and connected, even Baby Boomers are looking for more convenience in their lives.
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.
With today’s technology available to consumers, it can be pretty easy to get started. Setting your home up with Smart Home devices can be a great marketing tool, and make your home stand out, without too much out of pocket. If you want to get started, you can check out your local big box home improvement stores such as Lowe's or Home Depot for compatible devices from light bulbs to major appliances. If you are already invested in the Alexa series from Amazon, they too have a plethora of compatible devices such as my favorite, the garage door opener!
