A new category of real estate has emerged: the smart home! It’s 2024 and technology  has come a long way!



With the increased competitiveness in the real estate market, buyers are looking for  smart technologies that come with their purchase.



Smart home upgrades not only increase the value of your property but also enhance  your lifestyle.



If you're looking to sell your home, consider these five smart home upgrades that appeal  to potential buyers.



 

Thermostats

Investing in a smart thermostat is a cost-effective upgrade that can significantly boost  your home's appeal.


Smart thermostats allow potential buyers to control the temperature remotely, optimize  energy efficiency, and save on utility bills.



The Environmental Protection Agency’s data shows that owners save an average of 8%  on their energy bill. If that’s not a big enough number for you, a survey conducted by the  Consumer Technology Association found that 77% of participants wanted a smart  thermostat when buying a home.



Highlight the convenience and energy savings to attract buyers who appreciate a  modern, eco-friendly home.



 

Smart Lighting

Create a warm and inviting atmosphere by incorporating smart lighting into your home.  Smart bulbs can be controlled through mobile apps, voice commands, or automated  schedules.



Showcase the versatility of smart lighting to potential buyers, emphasizing the ability to  customize lighting for different moods and occasions, all while increasing energy  efficiency.



 

Security Cameras

Safety is a top priority for homebuyers. Installing smart security cameras at entryways  and in the garage provides potential buyers with peace of mind.



Highlight the ability to monitor the property remotely, receive instant alerts, and enhance  overall security.



Emphasize the seamless integration of these cameras into the home's existing  infrastructure.



 

Locks

Upgrade your home's security further by installing smart locks. Smart locks offer  keyless entry, remote access, and the ability to grant temporary access to guests.



Showcase the convenience and enhanced security features of smart locks, appealing to  buyers who prioritize safety and modern technology. 



 

Fire & CO2 Detector

Safety should never be compromised. Installing smart fire and carbon monoxide  detectors adds an extra layer of protection to your home.



Smart detectors offer advanced features, including mobile alerts and self-testing  capabilities.



Emphasize the importance of early detection and the peace of mind that comes with a  smart detection system.



Integrating these smart home upgrades can make your property more appealing to  potential buyers.



By emphasizing energy efficiency, convenience, and enhanced security features, you showcase the modernity and practicality of your home.



Stay ahead of the curve in the real estate market by investing in these five smart home  upgrades.
