The year 2020 looks promising and has long been anticipated as the time where "smart home" will become the new thing. However, recent survey coming from the Coldwell banking Real Estate suggests that this anticipation will end earlier than the projected, since according to the survey almost half of the Americans are already owning a "smart home technology." The survey conducted was with a poll of 4,000 Americans and 45% of them already has smart home technology in their homes or are planning to invest in it. Only 36% of the polls say that they do not consider to be early in adopting such technology.
Also, a survey of 54% said that if they will be able to sell their house faster using the smart home technology, they would do it. Of this group of people surveyed 65% are willing to pay as much as $1,500 installing the technology in their homes.
In fact, Coldwell Banking Real Estates sponsored a conference regarding how to sell smarter using the smart home technology. The event happened on January 6, and it was the first time ever that a company was able to sponsor a market that has since double in 2015. In the conference it was discussed, how the next big idea is smart technology and what it can do for the real estate sector.
The most popular smart technology in the home would be the entertainment area, which consists of LED TV and speaker systems. There are also those who believes that installing lighting, security and temperature are considered to be living smart, but 76% of Americans thinks that if you only had one part of your home installed with such technology will not be considered smart.
In this time and age, and with the necessity for technology and information, smart technology in the home isn't just for the young and affluent. Even the baby boomers are taken care of by smart technology with their sensors and wearable smart live saving items. 70% of those who first bought smart technology products also admitted to be buying another one in the future.
