SMART HOME
33% of agents affiliated with the Coldwell Banker®
network surveyed by Coldwell Banker real estate
found homes with smart home tech are selling
faster than homes without the technology.*
Almost half (45%) Americans say, on average, their
smart home technology saves them over $1,100
per year.*
Parents are nearly twice as likely to adopt smart
home technology; and nearly 60% of them would
be willing to pay more for a home with smart
home tech installed.**
*Based on answers given by 513 sales associates affiliated with the Coldwell Banker
Network (3/11/15)
