As smart home technology plays a larger role in real estate, Coldwell Banker Real Estate LLC, Madison, N.J., released a survey uncovering what smart features home buyers are looking for when purchasing a home and how those features impact a home's sale.
Smart home appliances and technology are becoming more common in homes throughout the country. Products and features once reserved for only the highest priced properties are now found in homes across the United States at various price points. The proliferation of this technology is not only changing the way Americans live, it's also changing their tastes and expectations when shopping for real estate — so much so that making your home "smart" may be smarter than you think.
