ERA Real Estate<\/a> and HGTV reported 46 percent of consumers see smart-home technology<\/strong> as important for their current and future residences. But luxury homebuyers are willing to make the ultimate sacrifice. According to Digital Interiors, 94 percent of buyers surveyed would sacrifice 1,000 square feet of living space for more technology in their new home. Oversized houses<\/a> are no longer the driving trend in the luxury real estate market and agents are under pressure to respond to the demand. Here\u2019s what affluent homebuyers are looking for and which gadgets are must-haves.<\/p>\n

\n

Get a Smart Thermostat<\/strong> <\/p>\n

Outfit your listings<\/a> for luxury with smart-home additions like a smart thermostat <\/a>. The Nest programs itself based on your preferences and can adjust whenever you leave to conserve energy<\/a>. Your clients can control the system right from their smartphones. Owners can warm up the living room before an evening entertaining clients. Talk about how they can jet set to their vacation home and simply check-in on their property as needed. The idea behind a smart thermostat is really about controlling the overall climate of the home as opposed to an exact temperature.<\/p>\n

Enhance your Home Surveillance<\/strong><\/p>\n

Home security<\/a> systems have always dabbled in the high-tech world of smart automation. In the past, most alarms simply triggered an annoying sound and contacted the police at signs of danger.<\/p>\n

Today, home security cameras keep an eye on the inside and outside of the home with wireless cameras. A wireless camera system can be mounted to the wall or ceiling and monitored remotely. Home buyers are sure to be wowed by its sleek and discreet design. Some home security companies, like Lorex Technology, even offer<\/a> subscription-free monitoring <\/a>options, yet another attractive feature for potential buyers.<\/p>\n

New owners can keep an eye on their home from vacation, at work or on a spontaneous outing without worry.<\/p>\n

<\/center>Go High-Tech Culinary<\/strong><\/p>\n

Updating a kitchen has always been a recommended way to raise a home\u2019s price tag and attract buyers. But affluent home shoppers are looking for more than just new appliances and chef\u2019s kitchens. The latest technology trends include no-touch faucets and smart refrigerators <\/a>that can alert you when you\u2019re running low on groceries. The LG model features an internal camera to check on its contents, built-in Wi-Fi to connect to your mobile device and offers available accessories that can be 3-D printed. Other high-tech touches like Bluetooth smart cooking thermometers tell your mobile device when your food is ready to create perfect dishes every time.<\/p>\n

Upgrade your Luxury Entertainment<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just about every home has a flat-screen television; some piped for surround sound and home theaters. Let your clients take entertaining to a new level by controlling everything from one device <\/a>like Savant. Your clients can adjust the lighting, change the channel on your smart TV and turn on music. A system like Savant can also help monitor your home\u2019s security and adjust the climate as needed. While clients are getting ready upstairs for an evening with friends, they can adjust the entertainment area and living room downstairs to create a luxurious atmosphere.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
