by Jonathan Maines 07/16/2017

Who says your ordinary residence can't become a "smart" home? Now, there are many state-of-the-art smart home technologies you can deploy to transform a standard house into one that will capture homebuyers' attention in a competitive real estate market. Some of the top smart home technologies for today's home sellers include: 1. Thermostats Remember the old days when you had to set your thermostat manually? Thanks to high-quality smart thermostats, you can program your thermostat to ensure your home maintains an optimal temperature at all times. Whether you want your home to be warm in winter or cool in summer, a smart thermostat empowers you to maintain the ideal temperature consistently. Also, a smart thermostat may help you cut down on your heating and cooling bills significantly. And if you're able to highlight this energy savings to prospective homebuyers, you may be able to differentiate your residence from others in today's real estate market. 2. Smoke Detectors Imagine what it would be like if you were notified on your smartphone or tablet in the event of an emergency at your home. With top-of-the-line smart smoke detectors, you now can transform this dream into a reality instantly. A smart smoke detector typically is inexpensive but can make a world of difference for homeowners. This device often is simple to set up and guarantees you'll be alerted if your smoke alert goes off. Installing smart smoke detectors throughout your residence is a great way to enhance the quality of your residence. Remember, homebuyers will notice all the small things during a home showing, and the addition of smart smoke detectors could be a positive influence on a homebuyer's decision to purchase your residence. 3. Light Bulbs New smart light bulbs are available that are embedded with deluxe motion sensors. That way, these bulbs can detect when you are in a particular room and illuminate the area accordingly. In addition, smart light bulbs usually are energy efficient, providing you with yet another way to cut down on your energy bills. Implementing smart light bulbs throughout your home may seem costly, but it actually may help you save money over an extended period of time. Furthermore, home sellers who install smart light bulbs can add another distinct feature to their residence, and ultimately, may make their home that much more appealing to prospective homebuyers. Smart home technologies are changing the way homeowners manage their residences, and new devices and tools likely will become available that empower property owners to enhance the quality of their homes as well. However, today's home sellers should take advantage of smart home technologies as much as possible. By doing so, home sellers can work toward improving their residences and maximizing the value of their homes. When it comes to selling your home, you should be prepared to think outside the box. And with smart home technologies, you'll be better equipped to ensure your home makes a memorable impression on homebuyers. Incorporate smart home technologies into your residence today, and you'll be able to improve your residence quickly and effortlessly.
