Home Automation for Your Apartment

https://www.somfy.me/en-gc/products/smart-homeThe real estate industry is very competitive, especially if you own or are looking to build inner city or urban apartments. Buyers and renters are looking for a place with something extra and if you can incorporate it into your property then you can command higher prices on sales and rentals.

One thing that never fails to impress is a home automation system. With such high demand, adding home automation can give your property the edge over your competitors.

Read on to discover the benefits of adding home automation to your apartment.

Smart Apartments

Inner city apartments are typically marketed to millennials – those under 35 – because they want to live close to work and they’re willing to pay extra for convenience.

People want to move right into their new apartment and have everything working, and home automation systems can do that with lighting, security, temperature control and even window coverings.

Additionally, older people are embracing home automation in apartments as they look to downsize their homes and reap the mobility and accessibility benefits provided.

Security

Home automation can start before you even get inside the apartment.

Security is a big concern these days and keyless entry and remote access offers another level of safety to help residents and property managers feel more secure.

Security sensors can monitor for fire or unauthorised visitors to the building, and customised apartment cameras can tell residents what’s going on when they’re not home.

With Somfy, you can have added peace of mind with the ability to simulate presence in your home, to make it look like you’re there even when you’re not. Schedule your blinds, curtains and even lights to turn on and off at certain times of the day to give your home the appearance of activity and deter burglars.

Cost-Effective Automation

Now that home automation systems are more mainstream and the technology has improved exponentially, the cost has come down considerably and real estate developers have begun to see the value of integrating them into building plans.

Home automation is a real selling point with increased buyer interest and faster moving apartments at higher prices, even in a slow market. Plus, the savings you and your tenants will make in terms of energy reductions and lowered maintenance costs will make this a smart investment in the long run.
