Many buyers today want “smart homes” as the work from home setup is on the rise. This means the home uses technology to save energy and make life easier. Because of this, tech-buyers look for specific upgrades. These upgrades help your home sell faster and with a higher price. Here are some upgrade examples you might consider:
Easy and Low-Cost Upgrades
1. Smart thermostats
2. Smart locks
3. Smart lighting or motion sensor lights
4. Upgraded video doorbells
5. Leak detectors
6. USB wall outlets
7. High-speed fiber internet
8. Smart smoke detectors
9. Smart blinds
10. Smart air quality monitors
Big Upgrades with High Value
1. Solar panels and battery storage
2. EV charger (Level 2)
3. Smart sprinklers
4. Heat pump HVAC
5. Smart windows
6. Induction cooktop
7. Smart garage door
8. Whole-home water filtration
9. Soundproof home office
10. Smart security system
When you add these features, you get a good ROI. This means the money you spend to fix the house comes back to you (and more) when you sell.
