Are you looking for an edge that brings your project over the finish line? Features that will excite buyers as soon as they walk into the door? Give potential homeowners exactly what they want with an offering of smart home features. What was once a dream of homeowners has quickly moved from a reality to a necessity for many homeowners.

According to Coldwell Banker Real Estate, 71 percent of buyers in a sample of 1,250 American adults want a “move-in ready” house and sixty-one percent of millennials would favor smart-tech homes, as would 59 percent of parents with children living in the house.

Gone are the days of a separate remote to control every piece of hardware and some owners are even choosing to ditch remotes all together. That’s where voice control comes in.

Health and Safety

With the Covid-19 Pandemic this year the focus of many has shifted to avoiding the touching of surfaces whenever possible. This shift in focus has also led many to reevaluate their homes and in turn reassess their priorities. Due to the avoidance of public spaces, many have chosen to invest in their homes and in conveniences such as smart devices that can be controlled by voice. What better way to avoid touching every switch as you enter your home than to be able to simply tell your lights to turn on? And this doesn’t just go for the lights, you can control your media, shades, locks, the temperature, and anything else connected with your system.

How to Integrate these Features

Luckily, home automation systems such as Control4 and Crestron have kept up with the times and can control nearly any part of your home with just the sound of your voice (or keypads, and smart devices if you prefer). This means you can wake up in the morning and by simply saying the words “good morning” your bedroom and bathroom lights will go on, shades will be drawn, and your favorite morning radio show or podcast will start playing throughout your speakers that are seamlessly integrated into your system. These systems can be integrated into existing homes but are even easier for Builders and Developers to offer by prewiring homes to easily install these systems. This will add value to the home for the quickly growing number of prospective buyers who find these features essential.

Best of all these systems are expandable to keep up with any emerging technology entering the space and here at Audio Video Invasion our smart home technology experts are here to help guide you every step on the way. Call today for schedule a free consultation: 516-345-2636
