Smart Homes Sell Quicker But Aren’t Automatic Money Makers

Your home’s smart technology could give you an edge over other sellers whose homes don’t have it, but it’s challenging to assign a dollar value to it, experts say. In Coldwell Banker report on smart home tech, over 80% of the agents and brokers surveyed agreed that smart home tech can help “streamline” a home sale; 46% said they had worked with sellers who installed automation to boost the appeal of their properties.

In Malibu, California, homes promoting smart technology sold 61 days faster than the area’s average.
