27 Sep Benefits of Smart Home Technology in Your New Build
Homebuyers value smart home technology and consider it a major benefit when shopping for real estate. According to Coldwell Banker’s Marketplace survey, half of consumers say smart home technology is important for their current home or their next home purchase. Some of the most desired smart home automation products proved to be thermostats, sensors, alarms and lighting.

Benefits to Homebuyers
A few benefits that smart home products bring to home owners are:
Convenience
Smart home technology allows you to stay connected to what’s going on at your home by allowing you to control home functions. You can do things such as lock doors, turn on lights and shut your garage door all through an app.
Safety
Another benefit of smart home technology is the ability to monitor your home through surveillance cameras and motion detectors. View live footage of your home, get alerted if an alarm goes off and receive notifications if smart sensors detect any changes to the home environment. If you live in a rural area, this could be especially meaningful to you. With these features, you will be able to rest easy knowing your home is secure.
Cost and Energy Efficiency
When you’re away from your home, smart technology will allow you to control your thermostat and turn off lights from any location. This will allow you to reduce costs by making sure you’re using less energy when no one is home.
