Turning your home into a Smart Home can help you home sell faster by being more memorable. It's not just the Millennials and Gen Ys desiring a home with smart home technology to keep them secure and connected, but even the Baby Boomers look for more convenience in their lives and they know how to use it! Afterall, they are the generation that invented computers that have evolved into what we use today!
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.
Smart Home technology is much more affordable today than it was even 2 years ago. You can find compatible devices at the big box home improvement stores such as Lowe's and Home Depot. If you have already invested into Amazon's Alexa series, they too have a plethora of compatible devices from smart plugs to garage door openers (my personal favorite).
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.
