Smart home tech officially on the present day prospective buyer checklist

August 26, 2016 by Nick & Cindy Davis

There’s been a lot of hype surrounding smart home tech, which begs the question, could it be really that big of a deal? Well, it appears as though built-in technology is now a significant driver of home buying decisions. A survey conducted in June by Parks Associates o polled 1,250 U.S. adults with broadband Internet access in the home. Some key findings were.

Smart home tech officially on the present day prospective buyer checklist

71% of the people surveyed want a move-in ready home.
Of the respondents who opted for a move-in ready home, 44% said that smart home technology should already be installed.
57% would consider a more mature home updated if it had smart home technology.
The demand for smart-home tech isn’t limited to any single generation. Although the largest percentage of millennials expressed interest in these features (61%) – Generation X (52%) and baby boomers (50%) weren’t far behind.
We have embraced the smart home theme in our own home as. We have added VIVINT Home Security System which included Smart Thermostat, Security Cameras and Controllable plugs for lamps. All easily accessible through a control panel online as well as APP for your Smart-Phone.  Recently our garage door opener died unexpectedly, so Nick went to Home Depot to purchase a new one. Ryobi had just released their new Ultra-Quiet Garage Door Opener and to be quite honest, with all that was included with the opener, it was actually $30.00 less than if he purchased the Chamberlain, then 2 extra remotes and key pad. This Opener is also able to be operated through an APP, it has modules you add to the opener like, a fan, cord reel extension cord, blue tooth speaker and park assist laser system. The really cool thing is that you can add a RYOBI 18V battery to one of the modules, which charges and then if the power goes out you can still uses the opener for up to 100 times on a full charge.

It is pretty awesome to be entering the neighborhood, hit the open button and have the door fully open when you pull into the driveway.
